Honda has revived the Integra coupe, featuring a manual gearbox and a roof design inspired by the third‑generation CR‑X.
Through its GAC Honda partnership, the company has unveiled an extensively redesigned version of the Civic‑based Integra for the local market, reinterpreted as a two‑door model with a detachable hardtop.
The new coupe, unveiled at the Guangzhou Motor Show, is not intended for production. Designed as a concept and likely a one‑off, it is based on the Integra hatchback, which serves as GAC Honda’s equivalent to Dongfeng Honda’s Civic in the Chinese market.
The Integra hatchback has undergone extensive modifications. It now features only two side doors, with the central portion of the roof removed to create a targa-style design.
The B‑pillar has been eliminated, while the rear roof section carries ‘Integra’ badging and side windows that closely resemble those of the standard hatch.
Both the front and rear styling remain largely consistent with the regular Integra hatch.
The current 11th‑generation Civic is the first in the model’s history to exclude both a two‑door coupe and a three‑door hatchback body style.
Inside, the concept swaps the conventional five‑seat configuration of the hatchback and sedan for a 2+2 setup. The Integra, offered by GAC Honda, comes with either a turbocharged 1.5‑liter four‑cylinder petrol engine or a 2.0‑liter four‑cylinder hybrid.
Considering the inclusion of a manual gear shifter, it is most likely powered by the former.
The Integra name, meanwhile, has already been revived on two other models: a five-door Acura liftback in North America (2022) and a Chinese-built Civic-based sedan (2021) and hatchback (2023).
