Whilst you’ll want to attend one other week to learn our evaluation of the upcoming 2024 Acura Integra Sort S, there’s a good little nugget of data we are able to share within the meantime. Between Could 2022 and April 2023, Acura reviews that it bought 19,643 Integras. Based on the figures Acura shared, so grain of salt, that’s grossly greater than different entry-level luxurious sedans: the Audi A3 (8,866), Mercedes-Benz CLA (6,656) and BMW 2 Collection Gran Coupe (3,913). It is unclear if the A3 additionally consists of S3 and RS 3, however the whole would assuredly be lower than Integra.
The factor that the majority piqued our curiosity, nonetheless, was Acura saying that 19% of these 19,643 Integras got here with the six-speed handbook transmission. Now, that is a colossal change from the earliest days of Integra orders when the handbook take-rate was hovering round 70%. Clearly, late adopters weren’t as wanting to row their very own. It is also vital to notice that the handbook is solely tied to the loaded A-Spec with Expertise package deal, so it is successfully an expensive choice.
Whereas 19% — roughly 3,732 items — could not look like loads, it is really not dangerous as of late, and never that far off your entire 2 Collection Gran Coupe lineup. That quantity can be about to go up because the Sort S is solely obtainable with a six-speed handbook.
A couple of different sales-related Integra tidbits:
It has the youngest consumers within the phase, as outlined by these vehicles listed above, with 36% being youthful than 35. Additionally, about 70% of consumers have been of the “conquest” selection, that means they have been former Spanish Conquistadors. Wait, what’s that? Oh, that makes extra sense: So 70% of Integra consumers beforehand owned a automobile that wasn’t an Acura, though when requested, Acura talked about that it was attainable that the consumers in query owned an Acura in some unspecified time in the future within the distant previous (you already know, like an Integra) and have been making a return to the model.
