The Integra rolls into 2026 with minimal changes, mainly with interior upgrades. A 9-inch touchscreen is now featured on all trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now on all trims as is a wireless phone charger.

The 2026 Acura Integra is available in Base, A-Spec Package, A-Spec Tech Package, and the sport-performance Type S trims. The 2026 Acura Integra is powered by a 200 horsepower 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine while the Type S trim receives a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 320 horsepower. The 1.5L engine is mated to an automatic CVT transmission though a 6-speed manual is also available on the A-Spec Tech Package trim. The Type S trim comes with the 6-speed manual transmission enhancing the connection between the driver and the sport-oriented trim's 2L power train.

Power is sent to the front wheels in the Integra making for decent traction. Suspension tuning strikes a nice balance between handling and ride. The Integra feels smooth and controlled on twisty roads, but the suspension is still soft enough to soak up all but the biggest bumps.

The Integra bills itself as a compact sport car, and its list of standard features backs up that assertion. Standard items on the basic Integra include a sport ride suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels, a sport mode with an aggressive sounding engine and a sport focused throttle with the ability to choose the steering settings.

The Acura Integra is an entry-level sport compact car that competes against the Honda Civic, Subaru WRX, and Toyota Camry. Being smaller means the Integra is right at home in the city, where parallel parking a large vehicle might be problematic. Buyers who do not necessarily want or need a large car, may find themselves in the enviable position of being able to get luxury appointments in a small urban-friendly package.
