2023 Acura Integra vs 2022 Genesis G70: Comparison Test!

2023 Acura Integra vs 2022 Genesis G70 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.

Although it shares its underpinnings with the Kia Stinger, the 2022 G70 kicks the luxury quotient up a notch and proves that the Genesis brand is a credible competitor in the entry-luxury segment. Going head-to-head with sports sedan leaders such as the BMW 3-series and the Mercedes-Benz C-class requires both an athletic chassis and a posh cabin—two things that happen to be the G70's strengths. Not only does it deliver driving enjoyment and a nicely-trimmed interior, but the smallest Genesis sedan is also an exemplar for the brand's bargain pricing, coming in several thousand dollars cheaper than its key rivals from Germany. This helps it earn a spot on our 2022 Editors' Choice list. Not to mention its standard 10-year warranty package, which is more than double what most entry-luxury cars offer.

What's New for 2022?

Genesis has given its entry-luxury G70 sedan a makeover for 2022, which includes updated front and rear styling as well as interior tweaks that bring the car visually into line with the new G80 sedan and GV80 SUV. Genesis has also addressed one of our complaints inside the G70 for 2022 with a new, larger, and more premium-looking infotainment display. The G70's optional six-speed manual transmission has been discontinued.
