The MDX made a comeback for 2022, in the form of an entirely new fourth-generation Acura model. Subsequently, the Japanese automaker chose to introduce a new Type-S iteration of the MDX and it now sits at the top of the Acura range. This is in fact the very first time that an Acura SUV wears the Type S badge. It is a three-row SUV that targets the enthusiast crowd who also demand luxury and comfort in addition to performance.

Compared to a standard MDX, Acura’s new torque-vectoring with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) and adaptive air suspension on the MDX Type-S will give you the confidence you need to take sharp turns with ease. Beyond how it drives though, the MDX Type S has other qualities like a cosseting interior with all the top-level equipment and the build quality, that you would come to expect from a premium three-row SUV. Here’s how Acura’s first-ever performance SUV fares.

After nearly two decades in the dark, the Acura Integra is officially back for the 2023 model year. Acura reincarnated the Integra moniker with the yellow-colored pre-production prototype in late 2021 and it got a lot of criticism, primarily for the way it looked.

The new Integra, which replaces the old Acura ILX, has always had a close connection with the Honda Civic, folks weren’t thrilled with how the upscale Japanese brand resurrected the legendary name for the modern-day. Many viewed the new Integra as simply a product designed to meet Honda’s financial targets rather than a car created out of a desire to build a quality yet approachable sport compact. However, a closer look at the spec sheet reveals that the Integra is a fantastic package for the money.

Acura recently pulled the covers off of the eagerly anticipated 2023 Acura Integra range, which upon first impression, looks sounds, and feels like a home run. The automaker has managed to get all the fundamentals right including its Civic-derived powertrain with a manual gearbox, upmarket interiors, and an affordable starting price of $31,859. So, here are 10 cool facts and things that all fan-boys and enthusiasts should know about the 2023 Acura Integra.

The Acura Integra was one of the most anticipated nameplates and after 22 years, it made a comeback for the 2023 model year. While the five-door liftback body style is still a divisive subject, a Q&A session with Lead Product Planner, Jonathon Rivers, in the forum Integra Talk, revealed previously unknown details about the development of the new Aura Integra. Acura’s recent work has made it clear that it wants to be a performance luxury brand. As such, the 2023 Integra was benchmarked against some rather unlikely competitors.

The first-gen NSX was the equivalent to a fighter jet, but for the road. Not only just that, but it was also the first car to be built entirely out of aluminum. Even the legendary McLaren F1 was heavily inspired by the NSX’s timeless design. Back in the day, supercars were not as exciting as they are now, except for the NSX. This thing was wicked fast for the road, and the exhaust notes from the V-6 were terrific. The first NSX was unveiled at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show and was available only as a coupe until 1995 when a convertible variant was launched. A stock example of the 1991 Acura NSX is being auctioned on Bring a Trailer and this might be the best offer you can get to experience a 90s supercar.

As of early June, you can order the 2023 Acura Integra. There are three different specs to choose from: Integra, Integra A-Spec and Integra A-Spec® with Technology Package, plus two transmissions: your choice of a CVT or a six-speed manual. Prices start from $30,000, which isn’t that bad for an over-glorified Honda Civic, but it can very easily go higher once you start adding a few things you might like. The recently launched online configurator gives you the chance to design the Integra you like, and we did just that out of curiosity.

While drag racing fast cars only tells you so much about their performance capabilities, it’s always fun to see who comes out on top. Currently, these four – theAcura NSX Type S, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Chevrolet C8 Corvette, and Porsche 911 Turbo S – are some of the hottest high-performance cars on the market. ’Throttle House’ arranged for them to meet for a drag race. Can the C8 Corvette punch above its weight against the turbocharged opponents?

Practicality is, often, an afterthought when it comes to high-performance sports cars. If you are on the market for one, there’s a good chance that practicality is not among your top priorities or that you have another, more practical vehicle. With that said, not all sports cars are made equal, with some of them being surprisingly practical. Here are 15 sports cars that are more usable than you might think.

After an absence of more than 20 years, the Acura Integra made its comeback on the market for the 2023 model year. After being announced in early 2022, the Integra will arrive at dealerships in early June. The model will be offered in standard or A-spec versions, with a Technology Package offered as an option. Both CVT and manual transmissions will be offered.

Track battles are where performance cars are really put through the test and Driving Line has staged another one. This time it’s an all-JDM track battle between a Toyota GR Supra and an Acura NSX. Both cars are mildly modified and run on the same Nitto NT01 tires to make it as fair as possible while lapping the Chuckwalla raceway.

The Acura TLX is an underrated sedan that excels in almost all departments, especially the driving dynamics. Add the Type S masala to it and you have yourself a sporty sedan that offers a decent luxury cred as well. Sam from ‘Sam CarLegion’ brought an Acura TLX Type S to the drag strip to take on a Honda Civic Touring. It doesn’t seem too fair, does it? But, this isn’t a stock Civic. It’s been tuned to put out 120 horses more than what it comes with. It’s still a lot less than what the TLX churns out, but the Civic is over 1,000 pounds lighter, too. The Civic enters this race as an underdog, but do you think it can trump its more powerful cousin?

What in the world is Acura doing? Every automaker under the sun is pushing out SUVs like it’s all they know how to do, and here’s Acura with its current lineup that includes two sedans, two crossovers, and a supercar known as the NSX. Another SUV is on the cards, right? Wrong – Acura just revealed the all-new Integra, and it’s planning to focus on that for a while. Even better yet, the rest of the world is focused on shifting to EVs and Acura has little concern. There’s a new one coming in 2024, but we don’t know anything about it, and at this point, it seems Acura might not either. Acura’s strategy here is a little weird, and the future is certainly going to be interesting, and Acura’s plan for the Integra is, well, unexpected.

After 22 years on the bench, the Acura Integra makes a comeback as it is scheduled to enter production later in 2022, as a 2023 model. While we already know how the 2023 Acura Integra looks, many of the specs were recently revealed in an Acura press release.

Acura has a record of selling over 20 million examples of the MDX in the U.S., and we think that the new fourth-generation MDX will make the numbers go up crazy fast. This is because the MDX is all-new for the 2022 model year and has a lot going on. Acura made sure to offer the Type S variant for you performance lovers with a new turbo V-6 engine.

The new 2023 Acura Integra has been controversial, to say the least. Not everyone was happy with the way it looked, and this was made even worse when the interior of an Integra Prototype was leaked just a month ago. However, if you’re one of those who are looking forward to owning the reincarnated Integra, then the magic date is March 10, 2022.

The Acura Integra Type R is one of the most iconic and best-handling front-wheel drive (FWD) sports coupes in history. Back when it was still being produced, it has a base price of $23,500. Just recently, however, someone decided that the compact sports coupe is worth more than four times that.

When the 2023 Acura Integra was unveiled last November, a lot of car enthusiasts were disappointed with how it looked. The fastback styling and four-door configuration did not resonate well with fans, since most of them tend to remember the two-door coupe version. Yet since then, we still haven’t been able to see what the interior looks like, until now.

The new Acura MDX Type S establishes a few highlights for the automaker: the MDX is the first Acura SUV to wear a Type S badge, but it is also the most powerful, best-handling, and most lavishly equipped Acura SUV ever.

The 2022 MDX Type S will arrive at dealers just a few days before Christmas, so, if you have $66,700 there’s an idea for a present!

When it comes to Japanese performance sedans, the new Acura TLX Type S has been the talk of talks lately. It debuted on 23 June 2021 and, despite its transversely-mounted engine, it promises an engaging driving experience, combined with perfect daily usability. But how will it fare against another Japanese performance sedan? The YouTube channel Sam CarLegion gives an answer by pitting the Type S against an Infiniti Q50 Red Sport.

Acura just revealed the new 2023 Integra, marking the name’s return to the market in nearly two decades (2006, to be specific), but what happens next? Well, if Acura has its way, it’ll be putting the Integra back on the racetrack yet again, but it’s not entirely up to Acura, and we’re talking about cross-company politics here.

Acura has been hyping the new Integra for a few months now. It all started in August this year when the automaker officially announced that the moniker is making a comeback. The next month, we got to know that it will be a full-blown hatchback with fastback styling. And, finally, coming up with a kickass trailer announcing that the new Integra will feature a six-speed manual gearbox.

Fast forward to the present day, Acura has revealed the 2023 Integra prototype. It is a near-production version and we don’t expect any major changes to be made to the real deal. Unfortunately, the company didn’t give out a lot of details, but we at least know what it looks like.

The MDX has always been a solid yet unpopular option in the booming SUV market ever since it launched. Even though it is decent to look at, decent to drive, and more than competitive with its rivals from Lexus and the Germans. So, is making a sporty version going to change anything, and is it diluting the Type S name? Acura just gave us some extra details on exclusive features, release times, and more on the new MDX Type S, and it’s time that we find out.
