Key Features of the 2026 Acura Integra

VTEC® Turbo Powertrains

Acura engineers tuned the Integra lineup to deliver immediate response and an eager midrange. The standard 1.5L VTEC® Turbo produces 200-HP* and an early, flat torque curve for smooth, confident acceleration in real-world driving. Step into the Type S and the motorsport-developed 2.0L VTEC® Turbo raises the bar with 320-HP* and 310 lb-ft of torque*, channeled through a close-ratio 6-speed manual. The chassis complements that power with a MacPherson front and multi-link rear suspension setup across the lineup, while the Type S adopts a Dual-Axis Strut front suspension to heighten precision under hard cornering and reduce torque steer. Beyond horsepower, the difference you feel comes from how the Integra meters power to the pavement—steady, progressive, and composed—so quick passes, tight on-ramps, and winding roads feel equally natural. Add the strong, linear brake tuning—and Brembo® monobloc front calipers with upsized rotors on the Type S—and you get a performance foundation that encourages confident driving without sacrificing refinement.

6-Speed Manual with Rev-Match Control

For those who want a direct connection, the available 6-speed manual transmission is a standout. Short, well-defined throws make every shift satisfying, and the lightweight single-mass flywheel lets the engine spin with urgency. Rev-Match Control keeps the powerband right where you want it during downshifts, delivering smooth, precise engagement as you set up for a corner or pass. Complementing the gearbox, a helical limited-slip differential helps put power down cleanly, notably when accelerating out of turns or over uneven surfaces. The net effect is control—mechanical, predictable, and repeatable—turning everyday drives into a rhythm you look forward to. Prefer automatic convenience? The CVT uses sport-tuned logic and paddle shifters for rapid, driver-commanded ratio changes, giving you quick response without lifting your hands from the wheel. However you shift, the Integra’s engineered cohesion between engine, transmission, and differential ensures the car feels—and reacts—like a single, well-honed instrument.

Adaptive Damper System

Ride and handling are elevated by the available Adaptive Damper System, which actively refines suspension behavior to match your selected drive mode. Headed out for a long commute or a city errand run? The system can soften its responses for a composed, comfortable glide over imperfect pavement. Cue up a favorite road or a freeway on-ramp and it tightens body control, sharpening weight transfer and feedback to the driver. This breadth of tuning lets the Integra wear multiple hats with ease—relaxed when you want, alert when you ask—without compromising its intrinsic balance. Pair that with precise, variable-ratio electric power steering and a well-sorted multi-link rear suspension, and you get the kind of confidence that makes the car feel smaller and more agile than its spacious cabin suggests. On Type S models, the chassis is further dialed in for performance, matched by high-grip tires and the authority of Brembo® braking to sustain repeatable, enthusiastic driving.

Smart Connectivity with 9-inch Touchscreen

Inside, the Integra integrates technology to simplify your day. A standard, full-color 9-inch touchscreen places core functions—navigation apps, audio, and settings—right where your eyes naturally land. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility eliminate cord clutter, and standard wireless charging keeps your phone powered while you’re on the move. Available Alexa Built-in lets you control music, check the weather, or add to your shopping list with your voice. The 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster presents key driving data in clear, high-resolution graphics and can reflect your chosen drive mode. Add the available Head-Up Display for at-a-glance speed, alerts from AcuraWatch™, and more, projected onto the windshield to help keep your focus forward. For audiophiles, the available ELS STUDIO 3D® premium audio system—developed with Grammy® Award-winning producer and engineer Elliot Scheiner—surrounds you with 16 speakers, including overhead units and a cargo-integrated subwoofer, for immersive, studio-quality sound.

AcuraWatch™ Safety & Driver Assist

Every Integra is equipped with AcuraWatch™, a suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies designed to help support your awareness. Core features include Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Traffic Sign Recognition, and Pedestrian Detection. Blind Spot Information and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor also help watch areas you cannot easily see. Traffic Jam Assist can provide steering support in low-speed congestion, while available Low-Speed Braking Control can apply braking when the system detects that a frontal or rear collision is unavoidable at low speeds. Select features vary by transmission—such as certain low-speed assist functions on CVT models—so our team will gladly walk you through package details. Backed by Acura’s Next-Generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, the Integra is designed to help mitigate and manage crash energy, adding another layer of protection to your daily drive.
