Acura introduced the second generation of the Integra in late 1989 as a 1990 model year, and it showed significant improvements over its predecessor.

When Honda launched the premium brand Acura, decided to build the cars with a completely different design than the Honda branded vehicles. It wasn't just a badge engineering with more features. It was almost a completely different car.

For the second generation, the Integra sedan dropped the pop-up headlights, which were mainstream in the '80s, but tend to disappear from the car fashion list in the '90s. The flat and low design concept gave the driver excellent visibility around the car due to its big and tall windows related to the vehicle's size. Its frameless side windows were not very common for that era.

Inside, the instrument cluster was similar to the one found in the Honda Accord. It was the same simple layout, but easy to read the most important data of the car. The flat dashboard design was not the most attractive feature, but it allowed great visibility to the road ahead. The short greenhouse was a problem for tall adults, but good for the average height ones.

Due to its new platform, with independent suspension in all corners, the Integra was often praised for its road holding in its class. Due to the new, 1.8-liter engine and the lightweight body, it could pull some good results on the acceleration, and it was very fuel-efficient as well.
