As if we didn't already love the redesigned Acura Integra - it gets even better for 2026. The lineup adds new colors, more style and enhanced technology. The refresh comes as the Integra celebrates its 40th anniversary, after making a successful return to the market in 2022. According to Acura, Integra currently commands over 40% of retail sales in the premium compact sedan segment.
"The Acura Integra has dominated the premium sport compact segment since its launch in 2022, winning the prestigious North American Car of the Year Award and consistently commanding over 40% of retail sales in the segment," said Mike Langel, assistant vice president, Acura National Sales." Integra has also fulfilled its role as the performance gateway to the Acura brand, with the youngest buyers in the segment and the highest conquest rate of any Acura vehicle."
The Integra is powered by a high-output turbocharged engine with 200 horsepower and 192 lb.-ft. of torque. A CVT is standard, with a 6-speed manual transmission optional.

Driving dynamics are terrific thanks to an ultra-rigid body structure and sport-tuned chassis.
What's New for 2026
New for 2026 tech upgrades include a new larger 9-inch touchscreen (+2 inches) with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless charging - all standard across the lineup. Acura says the new touchscreen is also faster too thanks to a faster processor. (All models continue to feature a standard 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit digital gauge cluster.)
The A-Spec adds a new aero body kit, new black 18-inch wheels and ambient lighting in the cabin. The new aero body kit adds gloss black side spoilers to each corner of the front fascia and a sleek new side sill garnish that improve the sedan's high-speed aerodynamics.
Also new, three new exterior colors: Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl and Double Apex Blue Pearl, which debuted on the all-electric ZDX Type S. In addition, Integras painted Double Apex Blue Pearl or Performance Red Pearl now feature a sporty new color-matched grille.
A gloss-black grille is standard on all other exterior colors and available as an accessory on Integras painted Double Apex Blue and Performance Red Pearl. A color-matched grille is available as an accessory on Integras painted Urban Gray Pearl and Platinum White Pearl.
Inside the cabin, designers added a fresh trim pattern on the dashboard and extended ambient lighting for the Integra A-Spec. A-Spec models with the Orchid interior gain new blue micro suede inserts, first seen on the 2025 ADX. Models with the Ebony interior sport new yellow stitching on the seats, steering wheel, shift boot and door panels.
Heated front seats wrapped in leatherette are standard, with 8-way power adjustment for the driver, and available in Ebony, Red or Orchid. The optional Technology Package adds a 12-way power seat (includes lumbar support) for the driver (4-way power seat for the front passenger) as well as microsuede inserts for the front seats.
