New Features and Design Updates
Acura has unveiled the 2026 Integra, offering a refreshed look and enhanced features. This model update brings several improvements that aim to maintain the vehicle’s popularity among consumers.
One of the most noticeable changes is the introduction of a larger 9-inch display, replacing the previous 7-inch unit. This upgrade ensures a more immersive experience for drivers and passengers alike. Additionally, wireless smartphone charging has become standard across all models, which is a significant convenience feature for modern users.
The 2026 Integra also offers new color options, including Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl, and Double Apex Blue Pearl. These colors are designed to appeal to a broader audience while maintaining Acura’s signature style. Models in Double Apex Blue Pearl or Performance Red Pearl come with a new body-color grille, which can be an optional addition for other color choices.
Updated Exterior Elements
In terms of exterior design, the A-Spec variant now features new 18-inch wheels with a black finish. The body kit has been slightly revised, incorporating sportier side skirts and front bumper accents that give the car a more dynamic appearance. These changes contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of the 2026 Integra.
Enhanced Interior Experience
Inside the cabin, the 2026 Integra presents a more refined environment. The upgraded 9-inch infotainment system is equipped with a faster processor, ensuring smooth performance without lag. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are now standard, making it easier for drivers to connect their devices seamlessly.
Additional interior upgrades include a new dashboard trim pattern and a standard wireless smartphone charger. The mid-level A-Spec model benefits from extended ambient lighting and a more vibrant cabin. Specific trims, such as Orchid and Ebony, come with unique details like blue microsuede inserts and yellow stitching, adding a touch of luxury and personalization.
Well-Equipped with Advanced Technology
The 2026 Integra is well-equipped with various features that enhance both comfort and safety. Heated leatherette front seats offer eight-way power adjustment on the driver’s side, providing optimal comfort. A 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, an eight-speaker audio system, and the AcuraWatch suite of driver assistance systems are included.
The AcuraWatch suite includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, Traffic Sign Recognition, and a Collision Mitigation Braking System. These features work together to provide a safer driving experience.
Performance and Powertrain Details
Under the hood, the 2026 Integra continues to use a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 200 hp (149 kW / 203 PS) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque. This engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission, although a six-speed manual option is available. The manual transmission is a rare find in this segment and features automatic rev matching for smoother gear shifts. Manual models also come with a limited-slip differential, enhancing handling and performance.
Production and Pricing Information
The 2026 Acura Integra will be produced in Marysville, Ohio. While specific pricing details have not yet been released, it is anticipated that the model will carry a higher price tag than its predecessor, which started at $33,000 before the $1,195 destination fee.
