Acura Integra gets refreshed for 2026

Acura officially brought back the Integra nameplate three years ago (see video). To keep the sales going, it has now mildly refreshed the five-door liftback adding a few extra trim options. Sales in the United States start in August, so let’s take a look.

Customers are choosing from a bigger exterior color palette, and may now opt for a body-matched radiator grille. The standard Integra otherwise stays unchanged. Its sported-up A-Spec counterpart looks decidedly fresher thanks to a revised body kit with gloss-black accents and unique 18-inch wheels. It also gets improved interior lighting and more trim options than the standard spec.

The infotainment system now commands a 9-inch display instead of a 7-inch one and supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto straight from the factory. It also benefits from a superior CPU and has a wireless charging pad included as standard.

Like before, all power comes from a 1.5-liter turbo engine rated at 203 PS (200 hp / 149 kW) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque. You can choose between a CVT with virtual gear selection and a 6MT with a limited-slip differential for the transmission.
Pricing remains to be announced, but it would be reasonable to expect the 2026 Acura Integra to cost slightly more than the current version, which starts from $33,000.

As for the Acura Integra Type S, which arrived roughly a year after the standard liftback packing a superior 320-PS (316-hp / 235-kW) engine, it should get its own facelift later. Nothing to this effect has been announced so far, so it’s probably several months away.
