2026 Acura Integra First Look: Bolder and Techier

2026 Acura Integra

The 2026 Acura Integra arrives with a host of welcome changes inside and out. Immediately, you’ll see that slightly revised exterior, which includes a new body kit and black 18-inch wheels on A-Spec models. They also receive black side spoilers on the front fascia and a new side sill garnish. Acura says the latter improves high-speed aerodynamics and isn’t just for looks. Additionally, three new exterior colors join the palette: Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl, and Double Apex Blue Pearl, the last of which first debuted in the ZDX Type S. Moreover, Integras finished in that new blue and Performance Red Pearl now include a color-matched grille for extra pizzazz.

Inside, the 2026 Acura Integra gains several standard features. Every model now has a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wireless charger. Acura also says that the new display responds with less lag thanks to a faster processor. In terms of design, the Integra’s interior receives a new trim pattern and extended ambient lighting on A-Spec models. Furthermore, selecting the Orchid interior now adds blue micro suede inserts, while the Ebony color adds yellow contrast stitching.

Under the hood, the 2026 Integra has a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 200 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque. A CVT comes standard, while A-Spec models also have the option of a six-speed manual. Need extra reasons to get the latter? It comes with a helical limited-slip differential, allowing the car to put the power more effectively. Certain models also include adaptive dampers with Comfort, Normal, Sport, and Individual modes.

2026 Acura Integra: Familiar Comfort and Convenience

The 2026 Integra puts value at the forefront. Heated front seats with 8-way power adjustment for the driver and a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster come standard. A-Spec models add sporty style with stainless steel pedals, red gauge needles, and contrast stitching. Adding the available Technology package brings a 5.3-inch head-up display, a 12-way power driver’s seat, and a power front passenger seat. Certain trims also include the 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D premium audio system, which includes two speakers mounted on the headliner.

Meanwhile, on the driver assistance front, every Integra includes the AcuraWatch suite and blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic monitoring. A-spec models with the Technology package expand the Integra’s active safety suite even further with front and rear parking sensors and Low Speed Braking Control.

So, when can you get your hands on the 2026 Integra? You’ll have to wait until August, which is next month. What about the more potent Integra Type S? Expect to see that one later in the year since Acura hasn’t announced any changes for that model yet.
