A Civic with a new name - Honda Integra makes debut in China; Not to be confused with Acura Integra 01

It’s easy to get confused when it comes to the Honda Integra, but to make it clearer, the 2022 Integra five-door coupe that was teased earlier will be branded under Honda’s luxury arm, Acura. This Honda Integra you’re looking at is a China-only issue and the Honda Civic FE’s twin.

In case you missed it, Honda has two partners in China, Dongfeng Honda and GAC Honda. Dongfeng Honda sells the Honda Civic, while GAC Honda will be responsible for the Honda Integra/ Civic-twin you see here.

But despite this being a Civic twin, it seems the company still wants to pay homage to the legendary Integra of yesteryears. The Integra is rumoured to also come with a manual transmission paired to the same L15C9 turbocharged 1.5-litre engine as the Civic that dispenses at least 184 PS.

We’ve previously established that the Integra aims to be the sportier version of the Civic, hence the sharper LED headlamps, honeycomb grille, and angular dimensions. The rear also gets a large diffuser piece to further enhance the sportiness.

There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
