In concordance with the introduction of the Integra's platform mate, the seventh-generation Civic being introduced in 2000, the Integra joined the Civic in abandoning Honda's traditional double-wishbone suspension at both ends and adopted MacPherson struts in the front and double-wishbone suspension in the rear along with the new K-series engine supplanting the B-series.
The K-series engine features intelligent VTEC (or i-VTEC), which electronically adjusts valve lift, valve duration and valve timing, giving the 2.0 L engine a flatter torque curve relative to previous VTEC implementations which only adjusted valve lift and valve duration.
The Integra DC5 received a facelift in the 2005 model year. The headlight and taillight assemblies lost the so-called 'teardrop' shape. Now the assemblies are flush with the bumpers.In Japan, the Integra was introduced in two versions, the Integra iS (later renamed Integra Type-S in the 2004 refresh) and the Integra Type R. The Type R lacked many of the luxury features (like vanity mirrors or side airbags) in the Type-S, true to its racing heritage. C package on the Type R added various accessories like the rear window wiper, remote control folding mirrors. JDM Integras had three interior colours available. Black was standard on the Type-iS/Type-S. Type R had choices of black/blue/red interiors (including colour matching Recaro seats), depending on exterior colours. Integra iS and Type-S were available with cruise control, sunroof, and navigation systems.[2Additional interior and exterior accessories were available from Honda's Modulo line. Modulo accessories offered include interior trim (shift knobs, decals, etc.), foglights, aero kits (front/side/rear bumper enhancements), wing spoilers, alloy wheels, push button start, upgraded speakers, and navigation.
