Acura has announced a refresh for the upcoming 2026 Integra. This mid-cycle change brings some updates to the car both inside and out.
Exterior Updates
- Color additions: New paint options include Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl, and Double Apex Blue Pearl—the latter also features the bold, color-matched grille.
- Body-color grille selectable for models in blue or red hues, and available as an accessory for Urban Gray and Platinum White.
- Refresh for the A‑Spec trim includes refined body kit, gloss‑black side spoilers, side-sill extensions, and gloss-black 18″ wheels. Aerodynamics are modestly enhanced, and 19″ alloys or a carbon-fiber rear spoiler are optional.
Interior & Tech Enhancements
- Infotainment system upgraded to a larger 9″ touchscreen, now standard across all trims—replacing the former 7″ unit—and equipped with faster processing plus wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
- Wireless smartphone charging now standard in all models.
- Cabin refinements include a new metallic dashboard trim, extended ambient lighting on A‑Spec, new blue microsuede inserts in Orchid interiors and yellow stitching in Ebony trims—mirroring cues from the ADX.
- Standard features include heated leatherette seats (8‑way power for driver), a 10.2″ digital instrument cluster, 8‑speaker audio system, and the full AcuraWatch suite.
Mechanical & Powertrain Overview
- No changes to powertrains:
- Base/A‑Spec models retain the 1.5 L turbo 4‑cylinder (200 hp, 192 lb‑ft) with CVT; manual still available on A‑Spec.
- Type S remains with the 2.0 L turbo (320 hp, 310 lb‑ft) and 6-speed manual as before.
- The front-limited-slip differential and manual remain segment-exclusive for added engagement.
- Adaptive dampers continue as an upgrade option.
The new Integra is scheduled to arrive at dealerships in August 2025, with pricing reportedly close to the outgoing models—likely beginning around $34–35 k for base and topping near $54 k for Type S.
Acura’s approach here is evolution, not reinvention. They’ve enriched styling, convenience, and tech across the board—especially for A‑Spec—while retaining what’s fresh and fun about the current platform. The result is a sharper, more appealing Integra with the same engaging driving dynamics, and few changes where it doesn’t need them.
