Earning a 2026 Editors' Choice Award from Car and Driver, the 2026 Acura Integra Type S remains a top contender in the sport compact segment. This recognition reflects Acura's ability to blend exhilarating performance with the functional needs of daily life.

Exciting Performance

The heart of this machine is a 2.0-liter, VTEC turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This power is delivered through a six-speed, close-ratio manual transmission, a favorite among driving enthusiasts. This front-wheel drive vehicle utilizes a Dual-Axis Strut front suspension developed from motorsport technology to improve cornering. An active exhaust valve and high-performance front Brembo brakes round out performance.

Versatile Driving Machine

Versatility is a defining characteristic of this hatchback, according to Car and Driver. The Integra Type S is equally at home on a racetrack or a daily commute. Practicality is a priority, evidenced by the generous cargo space. The interior is well-appointed with standard luxury, including a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D premium audio system, a head-up display, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Powerful Styling

With its bold exterior, the Integra Type S is built to stand out. Wide fender flares and distinctive triple exhaust outlets contribute to its athletic stance. For an even more customized look, 19-inch alloy wheels with a copper finish are available.
