About the Acura Integra
One of the most iconic and beloved nameplates in the history of the Acura brand is back and better than ever. The Integra is engineered for the next generation of driving enthusiasts with a sleek liftback exterior design, thrilling turbocharged engine choices, and a sport-focused interior. Equally aspirational and attainable, the price point of the Integra means that it will now serve as the gateway into the Acura brand. Not only is the Integra the only 5-door liftback in its class – it’s also the only premium sport compact to offer an available 6-speed manual transmission. Inside its driver-focused cabin, you’ll discover an array of groundbreaking tech features including the stunning 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit™ digital gauge cluster, standard smartphone integration, and available head-up display (HUD). Setting a new standard for both active and passive safety, the Acura Integra is equipped with the proven Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure and the latest generation of the AcuraWatch™ suite of active safety and driver-assistive technologies.
What the Critics Say
“ After spending a week in a top-trim Integra A-Spec with the Technology package and a delightful six-speed manual transmission, I feel like Acura has succeeded in rekindling the spirit of its affordable fastback. It offers a Goldilocks suspension setup: firm enough for predictable handling, but soft enough that you don’t need a chiropractor on call.” – U.S. News & World Report
“ It's not a rerun of the old Integra Type R. Not even close. But it does recall that machine’s epic commitment to driving pleasure. Every tweak and change made to turn the regular Integra into a Type-S is biased to increasing driver involvement and rewarding that involvement with tactile satisfaction.” – Road & Track
What's New for 2026
The athletic Acura Integra benefits from a wide range of key improvements for the 2026 model year. Technology enhancements include the addition of the previously optional 9-inch touchscreen as standard equipment along with wireless smartphone integration and streamlined performance. Choosing the A-Spec model means that you’ll now receive new interior accents, extended ambient interior lighting, new 18-inch black wheels, and a new aero body kit. Rounding out the list of changes are some new exterior color options for the 2026 Integra. These include Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl, and Double Apex Blue Pearl.
Acura Integra Features
Sleek Styling
Staying true to its heritage while offering a glimpse into the future of Precision Crafted Performance, the Acura Integra retains the same sporty and compact dimensions as the original 5-door model that helped launch the brand back in 1986. Visual highlights of the Integra include a frameless version of Acura’s Diamond Pentagon grille, flanked by four JewelEye® LED headlight elements and “Chicane” LED daytime running lights. Embossed Integra logos are found in both the front and rear fascia, similar to the third generation model of years past. An optional A-Spec® sport-appearance package dials up the aggressiveness of the Integra with an assortment of track-inspired accents including unique badging and a lip spoiler. Striking 17-inch alloy wheels are included as standard while larger 18-inch wheels and 19-inch accessory wheels are also offered.
Potent Performance
Under the hood of the Acura Integra lies a potent VTEC®-enhanced DOHC 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. Upgrade to the track-tested Integra Type S to receive an exhilarating 2.0L VTEC® Turbo 4-cylinder engine producing 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, complemented by its exclusive high-flow exhaust system. The Integra also features a coil type exhaust system that instills an emotional connection via its evocative exhaust note. Drivers can choose from a specially-tuned CVT automatic transmission with Step Shift programming or a segment-exclusive available 6-speed manual transmission. Manual transmission-equipped models benefit further from a helical limited-slip differential (LSD). A standard Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) allows the driver to choose between three distinct driving modes (Comfort, Normal, and Sport) for a truly personalized experience behind the wheel of the Acura Integra.
Driver-Oriented Interior
Infused with innovative technology that helps to instill a connection between driver and machine, the interior of the Acura Integra features upscale materials and switchgear to deliver a premium feel. Standard body-stabilizing and heated front seats wrapped in synthetic leather are offered in either Ebony, Red, or Orchid color choices. Segment-leading tech features include a standard 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit™ digital gauge cluster with multiple display modes and a 9-inch digital touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. Other available highlights found inside the cabin include wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, Alexa Built-In, Qi-compatible wireless charging, and a 5.3-inch Head-Up Display (HUD).
