The 2026 Acura Integra

The Integra is Acura's only car and the most accessible way into the brand, a premium sport compact that spans a 200-horsepower base model and the 320-horsepower Type S. Unlike the SUVs in the lineup, it is a 5-door liftback built around driving feel, and it is the one Acura you can still order with a manual transmission. Ed Martin Acura carries the full range for sport-compact shoppers across Central Indiana, from the everyday base car to the manual-only Type S.

Trims & Pricing

The Integra comes in four trims, all front-wheel drive, and the choice comes down to engine and transmission. The 1.5-liter trims pair with a CVT, the manual is the enthusiast's option on the A-Spec with Technology, and the Type S is sold with the 6-speed alone.

Trim	Transmission	Starting MSRP
Integra	CVT	Low-$30Ks
A-Spec	CVT	Mid-$30Ks
A-Spec w/Technology	CVT or 6-speed manual	High-$30Ks
Type S	6-speed manual	Low-$50Ks

These are manufacturer's suggested retail price ranges before tax, options, and destination. Final pricing is set at the dealership.

The trims separate as much by hardware as by features, since the Type S is a different car underneath.

Feature	Integra	A-Spec	A-Spec w/Technology	Type S
Engine	1.5L Turbo	1.5L Turbo	1.5L Turbo	2.0L Turbo
Horsepower	200 hp	200 hp	200 hp	320 hp
Wheels	17-in	18-in	18-in	19-in
Audio	8-speaker	8-speaker	16-speaker ELS Studio 3D	16-speaker ELS Studio 3D
Power driver seat	8-way	8-way	12-way + memory	12-way + memory
Adaptive Damper System	No	No	Standard	Standard
Head-Up Display	No	No	Standard	Standard

The base Integra covers the sport compact at the lowest entry price in the Acura lineup. The A-Spec adds the sportier styling most buyers are after. The A-Spec with Technology is the step where the chassis and audio upgrades land, and the only trim short of the Type S that can be had with a manual, which makes it the enthusiast's pick below the top. The Type S is its own car: a manual-only performance flagship that shares little but the name with the trims beneath it.

Performance & Transmissions

Most of the Integra lineup runs a 1.5-liter turbo, while the Type S steps up to a 2.0-liter turbo, and both can be paired with a 6-speed manual, which is increasingly rare in this class.

Specification	1.5L Turbo	Type S 2.0L Turbo
Engine	1.5L VTEC Turbo I4	2.0L VTEC Turbo I4
Horsepower	200 hp @ 6,000 rpm	320 hp @ 6,500 rpm
Torque	192 lb-ft	310 lb-ft
Transmission	CVT, or 6-speed manual	6-speed manual
Drivetrain	Front-wheel drive	Front-wheel drive
Fuel economy	29 / 37 / 32 CVT, 26 / 36 / 30 manual	21 / 28 / 24
Recommended fuel	Premium, 91 octane	Premium, 93 octane

The 1.5-liter turbo makes its 200 horsepower with an early, flat torque curve that suits daily driving, paired either with a CVT and paddle shifters or, on the A-Spec with Technology, a 6-speed manual with Rev-Match Control. That manual is the reason many buyers choose the Integra over its rivals, and the manual trims add a lightweight flywheel and a helical limited-slip differential that puts power down cleanly out of corners.

The Type S is the performance peak, with a 2.0-liter turbo, a close-ratio 6-speed that pulls to a 7,000-rpm redline, and 4-piston Brembo front brakes. It rides on a Dual-Axis Strut front suspension in place of the standard car's MacPherson setup, wears 19-inch wheels on summer tires, and gains a Sport+ drive mode that opens an active exhaust. Across the lineup, the Integrated Dynamics System lets you set the drive character, and the A-Spec with Technology and Type S add an Adaptive Damper System that firms up or relaxes the ride.

Interior & Technology

A 9-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster come on every Integra, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a wireless charging pad. Stepping up to the A-Spec with Technology brings the 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D audio system and a head-up display, where the base and A-Spec run an 8-speaker setup. Seats progress from leatherette to microsuede and, in the Type S, perforated Ultrasuede. The upper trims add a 12-way power driver's seat with memory and dual-zone climate. One telling detail: the Type S drops the moonroof entirely, a rigidity-and-weight choice that also frees up a little extra headroom.

Space & Cargo

The Integra's 5-door liftback body is its practical edge over the sedans it competes against. A wide hatch opening and 60/40 fold-flat rear seats turn 24.3 cubic feet of cargo into far more usable space than a trunk of similar size, which makes the Integra easy to live with beyond the commute.

Measurement	Front	Rear
Headroom	37.6 in	36.4 in
Legroom	42.3 in	37.4 in
Shoulder room	57.0 in	56.0 in

Passenger volume comes to 95.8 cubic feet, with 42.3 inches of front legroom that gives the driver real room to stretch out. The rear seat is snug, as it is in most cars this size, but the liftback makes loading bikes, gear, or luggage simpler than the segment norm.

Colors

The Integra keeps its palette tight. Solar Silver Metallic is the standard exterior color, with 5 premium paints available: Majestic Black Pearl, Platinum White Pearl, Performance Red Pearl, Urban Gray Pearl, and Double Apex Blue Pearl. Performance Red and Double Apex Blue add a body-colored Diamond Pentagon grille for a more aggressive front end. Inside, the cabin comes in Ebony, with Red and Orchid available on the upper trims depending on the exterior color.

Safety

The Integra comes with AcuraWatch on every trim, the same core set of collision-avoidance and driver-assist systems found across the Acura range. On the base car, the standard list covers:

Collision Mitigation Braking with pedestrian detection
Forward Collision Warning
Road Departure Mitigation
Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning
Adaptive Cruise Control
Traffic Sign Recognition
Blind Spot Information
Rear Cross Traffic Monitor
Auto high-beam headlights

A few systems are tied to the automatic. Adaptive Cruise Control's Low-Speed Follow, Traffic Jam Assist, and Post-Collision Braking come on the CVT trims but not the manual, since they depend on automated stop-and-go. The A-Spec with Technology and the Type S add Low-Speed Braking Control and front and rear parking sensors. A next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure and a full set of airbags handle crash energy across the lineup.

Ownership

The Acura Maintenance Program covers scheduled service on every Integra for the first year or 12,000 miles. The engine is also built to run roughly 100,000 miles with no scheduled tune-ups, which keeps long-term upkeep modest on a car owners tend to hold onto. On the A-Spec with Technology, AcuraLink adds a complimentary trial of remote features like remote start and find-my-car.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Acura Integra come with a manual transmission?

Yes. A 6-speed manual is available on the A-Spec with Technology and is the only transmission offered on the Type S. The base Integra and the A-Spec come with a CVT that includes paddle shifters.

What is the difference between the Integra and the Integra Type S?

The standard Integra trims use a 1.5-liter turbo making 200 horsepower, while the Type S runs a 2.0-liter turbo making 320 horsepower and comes only with a 6-speed manual. The Type S also adds a Dual-Axis Strut front suspension, 4-piston Brembo front brakes, 19-inch wheels on summer tires, and a more aggressive body, and it drops the moonroof to save weight.

Is the Acura Integra a hatchback?

Yes. The Integra is a 5-door liftback, which opens like a hatchback for 24.3 cubic feet of cargo and folds 60/40 for longer items. That versatility is one of its clearest advantages over the sedans in its class.

Does the Acura Integra require premium fuel?

Yes. The 1.5-liter turbo runs on 91-octane premium, and the Type S asks for higher 93-octane premium, so fuel grade is one more thing that sets the Type S apart.

Is the Acura Integra front-wheel drive?

Yes, every Integra drives the front wheels, and it is the one Acura with no all-wheel-drive option, which suits its lighter, sportier character.

How much does the 2026 Acura Integra cost?

The Integra starts in the low-$30Ks and runs into the low-$50Ks for the Type S, before tax, options, and destination. Final pricing is set at the dealership. To estimate payments, use our Acura finance center.
