2023 Acura Integra vs 2022 Mazda 3: Comparison Test!
32023 Acura Integra vs 2022 Mazda 3 Comparison.
Honda's Acura luxury division has relaunched the iconic Integra nameplate in hopes of finding success in the entry-luxury compact segment. The all-new Integra replaces the aging ILX sedan, an entry-luxury compact that failed to make much of a mark on the segment. Some may wonder why a luxury automaker would choose to launch a sporty four-door sedan in the Age of the SUV, but we'd be quick to remind them that the Integra is a big part of what made the Acura brand. The new car shares its underpinnings with the all-new Honda Civic. It comes with the same turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that's in the Civic Si and is offered with a six-speed manual (an automatic is standard). The Integra is fun to drive and offers a slightly more upscale presence than the Civic, but it lacks the luxury elements found on rivals such as the Audi A3 and the Mercedes-Benz CLA-class.
What's New for 2023?
Acura's revived Integra is an all new model for 2023 and is expected to go on sale in June 2022.
For buyers with champagne taste but only a sparkling-cider budget, the 2022 Mazda 3 delivers a premium package at a normal compact-car price. It's offered both as a sedan and a hatchback and can be equipped with optional all-wheel drive, a punchy turbo engine, and enough upscale features to be taken seriously among small Audis, BMWs, and Benzes. Entry-level models are, of course, not as posh, but the 3 looks handsome, and its playful personality will win over enthusiast drivers, even with front-wheel drive and base engine on board. That's why we put it on our 2022 Editors' Choice list. Although it is priced similarly to rivals such as the Honda Civic, the Toyota Corolla, and the Volkswagen Jetta, the Mazda offers a level of sophistication and style that those cars can't match.
What's New for 2022?
The 2022 Mazda 3 is the latest in the lineup to receive a blacked-out Carbon Edition model. The Carbon Edition package is offered on both the sedan and the hatchback, both coming with Polymetal Gray paint, red leather seats, and a number of black exterior elements including the grille surround, wheels, and door mirror caps. The Carbon Edition also comes with the content from the mid-range Preferred trim, including a 12-speaker Bose stereo system. Elsewhere, the 3 carries over into 2022 without changes except for a new Platinum Quartz Metallic paint option.
