Affordability Meets Luxury
Starting with a price tag of around $41,500, the 2024 Acura Integra is about $14,000 less expensive than the BMW 3 Series which begins at roughly $55,000. This significant price difference highlights the Integra's advantage in delivering luxury at a more accessible price point. Furthermore, if you're seeking top-tier features, the Acura Integra Elite A-Spec, priced at $47,068, offers more amenities than the base 3 Series – and all this without breaking the bank.
Performance that Doesn't Compromise
When it comes to performance, the sportiest variant of the Integra, the Type S, enters the scene. With a starting price of just $58,318, it's only marginally more expensive than the base 3 Series. However, the Integra Type S boasts a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, churning out an impressive 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. In contrast, the base 2024 BMW 3 Series, despite its similar price, offers a turbocharged engine that produces 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. This stark contrast underlines the value proposition of the Integra – more power, similar price.
Features that Stand Out
The 2024 Acura Integra is not just about value for money; it's about delivering a comprehensive package that car enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike will appreciate:
- For the Purists: The Integra offers an available manual gearbox, appealing to driving enthusiasts who crave that direct connection with their vehicle.
- Advanced Safety: The AcuraWatch safety suite is standard, featuring technologies such as:
- ACURAWATCH™: Designed to mitigate accidents, ensuring peace of mind.
- ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) WITH LOW-SPEED FOLLOW: Reduces driver fatigue by maintaining set speed and distance. With the CVT, it even comes with Low-Speed Follow.
- COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM™ (CMBS®): Alerts drivers to potential collisions and works to reduce collision forces.
- Connectivity and Convenience: The Integra doesn't skimp on the tech front. Features include:
- HIGH-TECH ALL AROUND: Standard Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, available Alexa Built-in, and a 9-inch touchscreen display.
- WIRELESS SMARTPHONE CHARGING: Say goodbye to tangled cables.
- 4G LTE WI-FI HOTSPOT AND ALEXA BUILT-IN:* Stay connected on the go.
- ELS STUDIO® 3D PREMIUM AUDIO SYSTEM: 16-speaker setup for an unparalleled auditory experience.
The 2024 Acura Integra not only delivers top-notch performance and luxurious features but does so without asking buyers to stretch their budgets. With a combination of power, advanced tech, and safety features, it goes toe-to-toe with the likes of the BMW 3 Series but at a more wallet-friendly price. For those looking for luxury without the luxury price tag, the Acura Integra is a compelling choice.
