The 1994 Integra is an important vehicle to Acura for the hatchback market segment. The LS is a member of a series of three trim levels for the Integra which include GS-R, LS, and RS. The three-door car with its front-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Acura. There is strong competition from vehicles from Nissan.

Performance

The Integra LS is equipped with a Honda 1.8 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a Honda 5-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Acura.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Integra has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

Fuel is handled for the Integra is a PGM-FI design, running on gasoline fuel. The gasoline is handled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 13.20 gallons.

Integra LS Statistics

The Integra is 178.10 inches long, 67.30 inches wide, and 52.10 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 103.10 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the Integra is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the hatchback market.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $20,180 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 3-door Hatchback.

Fuel Efficiency

The Integra LS received a miles-per-gallon rating of twenty five in-city driving and thirty one when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

The vehicle is available in several colors.

Conclusion

The 1993 model began the promise of the Acura Integra. The 1994 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Acura hopes that the Integra LS will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
