Model profile

Model history and generations

Model history and generations

The Integra name has deep roots. The original ran from 1986 to 2001 across several generations, and the DC2 Type R with its high-revving B18C engine is still a collector favourite. Acura then retired the badge in favour of the RSX. The nameplate returned for the 2023 model year on the codename DE platform, sharing its bones with the eleventh-generation Honda Civic.

Powertrain and equipment

Engines, drivetrain and trims

Engines and drivetrain

The standard Integra uses Honda's 1.5-litre turbocharged four (engine family L15CA), producing around 200 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque.

Which trim makes sense

The line-up is straightforward: base Integra, A-Spec, A-Spec with Technology Package, and the range-topping Type S. All share the five-door sportback silhouette with a hatch rather than a conventional boot lid, which makes the car more practical than its coupe-like roofline suggests.

Vehicle selection

North American market and suitability

Supply on the US market

Because the current Integra only launched in 2022 for the 2023 model year, the American used pool is young.

Who benefits from importing

An imported Integra suits the driver who wants something you simply cannot register new in Germany — a Honda-derived sport compact with a stick shift, premium interior and a distinctive badge.

Pre-purchase review

Model-specific inspection points

Known weak points and maintenance

Integra reliability is closely tied to the Honda Civic it shares its mechanicals with, which is good news. The 1.5-litre turbo engine is proven, but it does have known traits worth checking: fuel dilution of the engine oil in very short-trip, cold-climate use on early L15 units, and carbon build-up on the direct-injection valves over higher mileage. Insist on evidence of regular oil changes.

Germany and Europe

Differences, adaptation and registration

US and EU spec compared

Since the Integra was never offered in Europe, there is no direct European counterpart to compare against.

TÜV, modifications and registration

Typical changes for German approval are modest: European-approved headlights or correct beam pattern, a functioning rear fog lamp, side indicator compliance and a speedometer reading in km/h.

USCar Trader services

Inspection, purchase processing and escrow

As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.

  • Vehicle profile and history: The profile can show the VIN, US title status and available history records. No data source guarantees that every earlier event was reported.
  • Optional CARFAX report: Additional reported maintenance or service entries can be included. The report is not a complete service book or proof of every interval.
  • On-site inspection / USCT AutoCheck: USCar Trader can arrange a separately booked vehicle inspection. Agreed visible and accessible areas are documented. Road or functional tests require suitable access and seller approval; the visual review is not a lift inspection or workshop diagnosis.
  • Purchase processing and escrow: After approval, USCar Trader can coordinate seller contact, negotiation, contract and the escrow and import service. Fees, payment route and responsibilities are recorded in advance.
  • Recalls: Open safety recalls can be checked by VIN through the NHTSA recall search; they do not describe overall condition.

Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.

Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.

Questions and answers

Common questions about importing this model

Can I import a used Acura Integra to Germany?

Yes. The Integra is not sold in Europe, so importing a used car from the USA is the standard way to own one. USCar Trader handles the sourcing, shipping and approval.

Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?

No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

Is the Integra available with a manual gearbox?

Yes. The A-Spec with Technology Package offers a six-speed manual, and the Type S is manual only.

How reliable is the Acura Integra?

It shares proven Honda Civic mechanicals. Watch for oil dilution on short-trip cars and keep up with CVT fluid changes on automatic versions.

What is the difference between the Integra and the Type S?

The Type S uses a 320-hp 2.0-litre turbo engine, a manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential, versus the 200-hp 1.5-litre turbo of the standard car.

How long does the import take?

From purchase to German plates, expect several weeks, driven mainly by ocean freight scheduling and the TÜV appointment.

Do I pay VAT on a used import?

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the specific transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase so the calculation reflects the selected vehicle.

How can a specific Acura Integra be checked from Germany?

Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
