There wasn't much not to like about the Acura Integra. It's a practical, efficient hatchback that feels a step above the Honda Civic it's based on, yet more fun and more affordable than the luxury compacts it's up against. Acura would do well to leave well enough alone, and that's what it did for the 2026 Integra. There are a couple tweaks here and there, but fundamentally, this is the Integra we've grown fond of.
The biggest upgrade is a new 9.0-inch center infotainment display replacing the older 7.0-inch unit. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring are now standard, too, as is a wireless phone charger, all of which used to be only available on the top-trim A-Spec Technology Package. A gamechanger? Hardly, but nice features that bring the Integra in line with its new crossover sibling, the ADX.
Inside, the Integra also gets new blue suede inserts for the light Orchid interior trim, and A-Spec models get more ambient lighting and different dash trim. Otherwise, it's much the same, which is a good thing as Acura's European rivals all have been cost-cutting like mad.
For exterior changes, the A-Spec trims get a larger splitter, new side skirts, and a new 18-inch wheel design. Additionally, there are three new colors, Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Metallic, and Double Apex Blue Pearl. If you opt for a red or blue Integra A-Spec, you now get a color-matched grille with a black grille available as an accessory; on the flip side, gray and white Integras can also get a color-matched grille as an option.
Mechanically, the Integra is unchanged. That means you get a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque paired with a continuously-variable transmission. You can get a six-speed manual with the A-Spec Technology package, which also adds adaptive dampers and a limited-slip differential to the mix. If you're able to drive a stick, you should definitely get the six-speed. It's excellent.
Acura hasn't announced pricing yet, but hopefully, the 2026 model year won't be too much pricier than the 2025, which starts at $34,195 and climbs up to $39,195 for the A-Spec Technology. The brand is quick to point out that the Integra is built in Honda's Marysville, Ohio plant. So, the vehicle itself isn't exposed to an import tariff, though presumably, at least some of its parts are. We'll see closer to the 2026 Integra's on-sale date.
