Integra fans behold! Acura shared yet another teaser image of the 2023 Integra, which reveals that the upcoming car will be available as a four-door hatchback that features a steeply raked fastback form factor in the back.

Overview

Acura startled the world last month, at the Monterey Car Week, when they announced that the Integra name was making a comeback. The re-introduction of the legendary Integra moniker is possibly one of the most exciting news that Acura fans have heard in a while.

With this slew of teasers from the Japanese brand, we now have a better idea about the impending compact. The new Integra will be available as a five-door hatchback, just like the original 1986 Integra.

The Next Acura

While the Integra was a successful five-door, the name became synonymous with the coupe-like three-door hatchbacks that reflected Honda's most thrilling features found on its sleek and small vehicles. However, since those types of compact front-wheel-drive coupe’s have pretty much disappeared from the market in the decades since, Acura will now offer the car in a more traditional form factor instead, which is reminiscent of the design language found on the four-door coupes from Porsche and Audi.

Thanks to this latest teaser image and the preceding one, revealing the headlamp and front end, the upcoming Integra's appearance is starting to finally take shape. It could be very similar to the design seen in the rendering above. It also implies that the new five-door is the company's first car to drop alphanumerics in favor of a single-word name since the last Integra-branded vehicle was retired in 2001. For now, though, this sneak peek only shows off the five-door version of the car, however, you can't rule out the possibility of a three-door version in the future.

The Integra is likely to share its mechanicals and platform with that of the current generation Honda Civic. What engines can we expect on the new Integra? Well, the Type S performance variant could possibly follow that might feature a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four cylinder similar to that on the Civic Type R hot hatchback.

Conclusion

The Integra won't be revealed in its entirety for a while, however, Acura continues to tease us with details about its most significant revival since the NSX It will go up against the likes of other four-door compacts like the Mercedes Benz CLA, the A-Class, the Audi A3, and the BMW 2 Series.

Expect to get more concrete information from Acura in the following months, before Acura Integra’s debut in 2022, shortly after which it will go on sale in the United States.
