What’s new in 2026 Acura Integra? Better Alternative Available?

New 2026 Acura Integra now features color-matched grille on Performance Red Pearl and Double Apex Blue Pearl models which reminds me of classic Integra designs. Urban Gray and Platinum White trims offer it as an accessory while white gloss black remains standard elsewhere.

Major changes in spec model includes aggressive aero kit with front bumper spoilers, side sills, and 18-inch black wheels borrowing elements from the Acura ADX. Three new paints are also introduced which are included Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl, and Double Apex Blue Pearl (inherited from the electric ZDX Type S).

In the tech department we will have a 9-inch touchscreen replaces the prior 7-inch display, now standard across all trims with a faster processor, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and wireless charging. Other features include:

  • Ambient lighting,
  • Redesigned dashboard trim, a
  • Blue microsuede inserts for Orchid interiors
  • Yellow stitching for Ebony themes.

Safety remains top notch in 2026 Acura Integra, with a strength of standard AcuraWatch™ suite it has got you covered all the features like adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation and top IIHS/NHTSA ratings.

The 2026 Acura Integra features 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder which is capable of generating 200 hp along with 192 lb-ft of torque. i personally feel there is hybrid engine lacking but anyways it might come in future. The CVT automatic persists on non-manual models, widely panned for its “econo-box” feel versus rivals like Audi A3’s dual-clutch. Fuel economy remains modest: 26–30 MPG city/36–37 MPG highway (manual/CVT).

The 2026 Acura Integra manual starts at ~$39,000 but guess what you get similar Honda Civic Si at $32,000. Buyers will pay extra $7k for Acura’s liftback utility, adaptive dampers, and premium interior but lose the Civic Si’s stickier tires and lighter weight.

Another option, Mazda 3 Turbo (250 hp, AWD, $35,000) offers more power and all-weather traction, while the Mercedes CLA and Audi A3 deliver superior luxury cachet.
