The 2025 Acura Integra is a practical, spacious and fuel-efficient luxury small car. Its available manual transmission makes it a tad sportier, though it won’t win any medals in the speed department compared to rivals. However, if value is important, it’s hard to overlook this Acura.

Drive and Performance
The 2025 Acura Integra is lively and agile, with nicely weighted, direct steering and sure braking. Its adaptive dampers offer three ride settings: Comfort, Sport and Normal. Despite its sport-tuned suspension, it remains comfortable on the highway, making it a versatile and enjoyable luxury small sedan with a sporty slant.
The Integra comes with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard, while a six-speed manual is available. Acceleration is about the same with the manual or the CVT, with a zero-to-60 time of around 7 seconds. That’s not stellar, but the car feels more fun than that number suggests.
There’s also the more performance-focused Integra Type S, which we review separately.
Fuel Economy
Impressive fuel economy is one of the 2025 Integra’s hallmarks. The base Integra trim gets an estimated 30 mpg in the city, 37 mpg on the highway and 33 mpg combined. The manual transmission-equipped A-Spec is EPA-rated at 26/36 mpg city/highway and 30 mpg combined. With the automatic, the A-Spec model gets 29/36 mpg city/highway and 32 mpg combined.
Interior
While it shares parts with the Honda Civic, Acura has successfully differentiated the Integra with styling reminiscent of its TLX and RDX siblings. Featuring standard heated sport seats with synthetic leather upholstery and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, the five-person hatchback offers ample storage, with a well-designed center console and additional space under the armrest. A-Spec models with the Technology Package add synthetic leather and suede inserts, a 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a four-way power-adjustable front passenger seat.
Passenger volume is ample at 95.8 cubic feet, and the cargo area has a generous 24.4 cubes of room. The liftback has a wide opening that allows for easy loading and unloading, though the high cargo floor could be problematic for removing heavier items.
Value
The 2025 Acura Integra has an excellent value rating for the luxury small car class. We determine value based on the vehicle’s estimated total cost of ownership, along with the vehicle’s MSRP for its base and top trims.
Safety
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the 2025 Integra a five-star overall safety rating, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named it a Top Safety Pick. The Acura delivers an impressive roster of advanced driver-assistance features, including forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assistance and adaptive cruise control.
For installing child safety seats, there are two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the rear outboard seats and a tether anchor for the rear middle seat. The IIHS gave this LATCH system the second-highest rating of Acceptable for its ease of use. While the setup in the outboard seats is simple to use, the tether anchor in the middle seat is hard to find and other hardware could be confused for it.

The 2025 Acura Integra has a predicted reliability score of 78 out of 100. A J.D. Power predicted reliability score of 91-100 is considered the Best, 81-90 is Great, 70-80 is Average and 0-69 is Fair and considered below average.
