2023 Acura Integra vs. 2023 Audi A3 l Maus Acura North Tampa

After a 20-year wait, Integra fans are rejoicing at Acura’s new take on this premium entry-level sedan. The updated 2023 Acura Integra includes all the features that made the original model so special, from an engaging drive to attractive styling—all at a reasonable price. So, how does the Integra stack up to other models in its class, particularly the 2023 Audi A3? Here are three distinct advantages the all-new Integra holds over its German counterpart.

Available Manual Transmission

In today’s automotive market, manuals are a rarity. Acura’s answered the call to include a manual version of the Integra with A-Spec trims with Technology Package. For drivers who love to row their own gears, with close gear ratios, choosing the manual transmission is a safe bet.

The Technology Package adds even more driver engagement features, including an adaptive, sport-tuned suspension and variable-ratio steering. The stock Integra is rewarding to drive, but the available manual transmission makes every ride even more fun and engaging. That’s something you just don’t get in the Audi A3.

A Better Interior

Since the Acura shares a platform with the Honda Civic, it’s one of the largest cars in its class. The Integra is simply roomier than models like the A3. There’s more rear legroom to keep your passengers happy. When it comes to cargo space, the Integra offers 24.3 cubic feet compared to the A3’s 10.9. That’s more than double the cargo space, and the liftback design helps you make the most of it. On top of that, the fold-down rear seats make it easy for you to haul even large, bulky items that would never fit in the A3.

The interior is also packed with connectivity features, with a 7-inch touchscreen and easy-to-use infotainment system interface coming standard. Opt for the Technology Package, and you get a 9-inch screen, along with an impressive ELS sound system with 3D surround sound speakers.

All the Great Features, at a Lower Starting Price

The all-new Integra comes standard with everything you need for a safe, comfortable, connected ride, at an incredible price. At $30,800, the Integra comes in at a lower price than the A3’s sticker price of $32,800. When fully loaded with options, the Integra tops out at less than $40,000. A fully loaded A3 can reach a price above $50,000. If you want a premium sedan at a great price, it only makes sense to go with the 2023 Integra.

The 2023 Acura Integra Is the Best Value in Its Class

At a base price of just $30,800, the long-awaited 2023 Acura Integra is an exceptional value. Why pay more for a German counterpart like the Audi A3 and get less for your money? See for yourself why the all-new Integra has it all—even an exciting available manual transmission and a spacious, well-appointed interior.
