There’s a lot to talk about when it comes to the 2026 Acura Integra. It’s not just a refresh, it’s a real step forward for a model that already dominates its segment. Now boasting sharper looks, advanced tech, and a turbocharged heart, the Integra continues its journey as the go-to sport compact for those who want excitement without compromise.
A New Look with Bold Color Choices
Acura has given the 2026 Integra a design boost that’s hard to miss. From the available color-matched grille to three vibrant new paint options, Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl, and Double Apex Blue Pearl, there’s a fresh visual energy across the lineup. A-Spec models look especially bold thanks to a new aero body kit and sleek 18-inch black wheels that give the Integra serious curb appeal.
Cabin Tech Gets Smarter and Sleeker
Inside, the Integra feels more premium than ever. A new 9-inch color touchscreen is now standard, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless connectivity. Add a wireless charger, faster processor, and ambient lighting updates, and you’ve got a cabin that feels high-end without losing its sporty vibe.
A-Spec trims introduce even more flair with contrast stitching and unique microsuede inserts. Blue accents on Orchid interiors and yellow stitching on Ebony trims make the cabin feel more personal and tailored.
Power and Performance: Turbocharged Fun
At the heart of the 2026 Integra is a 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC engine pushing out 200 horsepower and 192 lb.-ft. of torque. Whether you go for the responsive CVT or the enthusiast-focused 6-speed manual, this powertrain delivers real thrills. The manual version even includes rev matching and a limited-slip differential for serious driving fun.
The Integrated Dynamics System lets drivers fine-tune their experience with Comfort, Normal, and Sport modes. A-Spec models equipped with the Technology Package even add an “Individual” mode and Adaptive Damper System (ADS), allowing you to dial in the steering, engine response, and suspension exactly the way you like it.
Ride Comfort Meets Handling Precision
Built on a stiff body structure with a fully independent suspension, the Integra blends ride comfort with razor-sharp handling. The sport-tuned chassis, strong brakes, and responsive steering give it the feel of a much more expensive machine. This balance makes it as fun in the corners as it is on your daily drive.
Personal Style Meets Practical Utility
What makes the Integra stand out isn’t just its power or looks, it’s the balance. A low roofline and sleek design give it presence, but the 5-door liftback configuration makes it surprisingly practical. With rear seats that fold flat and ample legroom in the back, this sport compact doesn’t ask you to compromise.
Segment-Leading Interior and Sound
The standard 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster keeps drivers informed with crisp graphics. Add the optional 5.3-inch Head-Up Display and Alexa Built-In, and the tech offering feels complete. Audiophiles will love the available 16-speaker ELS STUDIO 3D system with headliner-mounted speakers for a true surround-sound effect.
Safety Comes Standard
The 2026 Integra doesn’t just thrill, it protects. With AcuraWatch™ driver-assist features like Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, you’re covered on all sides. It also carries a Top Safety Pick from IIHS and a 5-star NHTSA rating, reaffirming its class-leading safety credentials.
Proudly Built in Ohio
Acura builds every Integra in Marysville, Ohio using both domestic and globally sourced parts. The turbocharged engine is also made in Ohio, reflecting the brand’s commitment to U.S. manufacturing.
Summary
The 2026 Acura Integra is more than a refresh, it’s a reminder of why this car owns its space in the premium sport compact world. With bold style, thrilling turbo power, and a cabin packed with tech, it’s designed to excite. And with three new colors and more driver-focused upgrades, the Integra continues to stand out from the pack.
