The DE Integra was introduced in North America on June 2, 2022, for the 2023 model year, as Acura's entry level offering in the region.

[4] The model reuses the Integra nameplate which had been unused by either Honda or Acura outside China since 2006.

It shares internal key components with the FL5 Civic Type R, including the 2.0-liter turbocharged K20C1 inline-4 engine, four-piston Brembo brakes and 6-speed manual transmission – it cannot be ordered with an automatic gearbox.

It should also be noted that on the Monroney sticker the engine code is K20C8 which is identical in all aspects to the K20C1 with the exception of the mounting points.

Adaptive dampers, which are also available in the Integra A-Spec, are adjusted based on drive-mode selection, which in the Type S consists of Comfort, Sport, and Sport+.

[20][21] The Integra appeared only as a cameo in the Chiaki's Journey anime series of Acura Type-S commercials.
