The 2026 Acura Integra Type S is the performance Integra, a 5-door liftback with a 320-hp 2.0-liter turbo and a 6-speed manual as its only transmission. It also gets Brembo front brakes and 19-inch summer tires. Acura sells it as its own trim at the top of the lineup rather than as a package on the A-Spec.
Here in Central Indiana, you can check our new Integra listings for a Type S and schedule a test drive online.
The 2026 Integra comes in 4 trims, from the bottom of the lineup to the top: Integra, Integra A-Spec, Integra A-Spec with Technology Package and Integra Type S. Here is how the Type S compares with the trim just below it:
| Feature | A-Spec with Technology Package | Integra Type S |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder | 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder |
| Horsepower | 200 hp | 320 hp |
| Transmission | CVT or 6-speed manual | 6-speed manual only |
| Front suspension | MacPherson strut | Dual Axis Strut |
| Front brakes | 12.3-inch ventilated discs | 13.8-inch ventilated discs; Brembo 4-piston calipers |
| Wheels and tires | 18-inch wheels; all-season tires | 19-inch wheels; summer tires |
Choosing the Type S means taking the bigger engine, the manual, the Brembo brakes and the summer tires together, since it comes in one configuration. The A-Spec with the Technology Package keeps the 1.5-liter and lets you choose a CVT or the manual. It also carries several comforts the Type S does without.
Only the Type S gets the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder; every other 2026 Integra uses a 1.5-liter turbo. The 2.0-liter makes 120 more horsepower and 118 more lb-ft of torque than the 1.5-liter, making the Type S the most powerful Integra in the 2026 lineup. Unlike the 1.5-liter cars, it has no Idle Stop.
| Engine specification | 1.5-Liter Turbo: Other Trims | 2.0-Liter Turbo: Type S |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower | 200 hp at 6,000 rpm | 320 hp at 6,500 rpm |
| Torque | 192 lb-ft at 1,800–5,000 rpm | 310 lb-ft at 2,600–4,000 rpm |
| Idle Stop | Included | Not available |
The only transmission is a 6-speed manual with Rev-Match Control, a lightweight single-mass flywheel and a helical limited-slip differential. The Technology Package version of the A-Spec has the same 3 features when it comes with the manual. Like every 2026 Integra, the Type S uses front-wheel drive.
The Type S has its own front suspension, a Dual Axis Strut design in place of the MacPherson strut on the 1.5-liter cars. The Adaptive Damper System comes on both the Type S and the A-Spec that carries the Technology Package. Type S drive modes are Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual. Sport+ and the Active Exhaust Valve come only on the Type S.
The Type S comes on summer tires, while the A-Spec trims use all-season tires. If you plan to drive it year-round, talk with our Tire Center about tires for Indiana winters.
The Type S body is 2.8 inches wider than the trim just below it, and it sits lower, as these figures show:
| Feature | A-Spec with Technology Package | Integra Type S |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 185.8 inches | 186.0 inches |
| Width | 72.0 inches | 74.8 inches |
| Height | 55.5 inches | 55.4 inches |
| Wheelbase | 107.7 inches | 107.7 inches |
| Ground clearance, unladen | 5.1 inches | 4.0 inches |
The Type S has the least ground clearance of any 2026 Integra, so check it against your own driveway and parking ramps.
Every 2026 Integra Type S comes with this interior equipment:
The head-up display and the ELS audio system also come on the Technology Package version of the A-Spec.
The Type S's AcuraWatch includes the Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System and Adaptive Cruise Control.
These features come on the A-Spec that carries the Technology Package but not on the Type S:
| Feature | A-Spec with Technology Package | Integra Type S |
|---|---|---|
| Moonroof | Included | Not available |
| LED fog lights | Included | Not available |
| Driver's seat memory | 2 positions | Not available |
| Power front passenger seat | 4-way adjustment | Not available |
| Rear USB-C charging ports | 2 ports | Not available |
| Wi-Fi hotspot capability | Included | Not available |
| Reverse-gear mirror tilt-down | Included | Not available |
| Keyless access with Acura Personalized Settings | Included | Not available |
| Traffic Jam Assist | CVT only | Not available |
| Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow | CVT only | Not available |
| Remote engine start from key fob | CVT only | Not available |
Every other 2026 Integra has the moonroof and the rear USB-C ports.
The Type S carries the lowest EPA estimates of any 2026 Integra:
| 2026 Integra configuration | City (mpg) | Highway (mpg) | Combined (mpg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type S: 2.0-liter turbo, 6-speed manual | 21 | 28 | 24 |
| A-Spec with Technology Package: 1.5-liter turbo, 6-speed manual | 26 | 36 | 30 |
| 1.5-liter turbo trims with CVT | 29 | 37 | 32 |
Acura recommends premium unleaded fuel rated 93 octane for the Type S.
The 2026 Integra Type S launched at $53,400 MSRP, the highest price in the 2026 Integra lineup. The Technology Package A-Spec launched at $39,200 with either transmission, so the step up to the Type S was $14,200. Both figures exclude the $1,195 destination charge, as well as tax, license, registration, premium paint and accessories.
| 2026 Integra trim | Transmission | MSRP at launch |
|---|---|---|
| A-Spec with Technology Package | CVT or 6-speed manual | $39,200 |
| Type S | 6-speed manual | $53,400 |

Choose the Type S if: you want the 2.0-liter turbo and are happy to drive a manual every day. It also fits if the Brembo front brakes, the Dual Axis Strut front suspension and the summer tires matter more to you than a moonroof or Traffic Jam Assist.
Look at the A-Spec with the Technology Package if: you want the choice of a CVT, all-season tires, higher EPA estimates or more ground clearance. You keep the head-up display and ELS audio, gain the moonroof, driver's seat memory and the other comforts the Type S leaves off, and pay a much lower MSRP at launch. The Type S is not the right pick if someone who shares the car needs a transmission without a clutch pedal.

The Integra Type S is the performance version of the 2026 Acura Integra and the top trim in its lineup. It comes with a 320-hp 2.0-liter turbo and only a 6-speed manual.
The 2026 Integra Type S makes 320 hp at 6,500 rpm and 310 lb-ft of torque from 2,600 to 4,000 rpm. The 1.5-liter turbo in every other 2026 Integra makes 120 hp and 118 lb-ft less.
The Type S changes the engine, the transmission, the front suspension, the brakes and the tires. Both A-Spec trims use the 200-hp 1.5-liter turbo: the Integra A-Spec comes with a CVT, and the Technology Package A-Spec offers a CVT or a 6-speed manual. The Type S pairs its 320-hp 2.0-liter turbo with the manual only and adds Brembo front calipers, its own front suspension, 19-inch summer tires and a wider body. It also goes without the moonroof and LED fog lights that both A-Spec trims have.
