The
3rd Generation Honda Integra made its debut in 1993 and remained in production for 8 years until 2001. It was a front-engine, front-wheel-drive subcompact sedan available in three different variants: RXi, ZXi, and XSi. This generation of Integra introduced the infamous "bug-eye" headlights, which faced some criticism from Integra enthusiasts. However, Honda made some minor cosmetic changes to the headlights in the 1996 facelift. The price of the 3rd Generation Honda Integra was competitive compared to other cars in the same class available in the local market.
Exterior
The
1993 Honda Integra's exterior features a distinctive design language, particularly the front end with quad circular headlights, a small grille, dual air intakes, and an outward sticking bumper. The rear end includes slim angular rectangular-style side-swept taillights and an outward-sticking bumper. All variants of the Honda Integra feature identical styling. The 2-door coupe has a sloping rear end, while the 3-door liftback variant features a hatchback and smaller rectangular style side-swept taillights. The facelift variant introduced a new series of slim narrow rectangular-style side-swept headlights and a larger outward-sticking bumper with dual rectangular-styled air intakes. The overall exterior of the 3rd Generation Honda Integra features unique styling that stands out among its competition.
Interior
The interior of the
2000 Honda Integra features black and silver plastic trim pieces, fabric-covered front and rear seats, and standard features like air conditioning, power steering, power windows, power lock doors, a stereo speaker audio system, and a tachometer. Higher-end ZXi models include a rear windscreen wiper, a front spoiler, and automatic climate control. The highest-end XSi models feature a leather steering wheel, leather upholstery, and wood paneling. Options include a sunroof. The 3rd Generation Honda Integra's interior offers a decent level of comfort and interior refinement with a good amount of interior space for a subcompact sedan.
