Specs at a Glance

If you are in the market for a high-end sport compact that seamlessly merges daily usability with a highly interactive driving dynamic, the 2026 Acura Integra deserves your consideration. Shoppers considering this model often weigh the differences between the well-equipped A-Spec® and the high-output Type S variants. Here is an overview of how these two unique Integra trims match up.

Performance

Providing plenty of excitement on the road, the Integra A-Spec® is engineered for fun. It utilizes a lively 1.5-liter, turbocharged VTEC four-cylinder engine that generates 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable transmission comes standard, complete with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters to enhance driver engagement. An onboard Integrated Dynamics System lets you adjust the vehicle's driving characteristics to suit your personal preferences.

Motivating the track-inspired Integra Type S is a potent 2.0-liter VTEC turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This powerplant delivers a thrilling 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque to the tarmac, paired with a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission for crisp, tactile shifts. Exclusive performance elements abound on the Type S, including a specialized Dual-Axis Strut front suspension and Brembo front brakes. To complement its capabilities, an integrated Active Exhaust Valve delivers a deep, powerful sound.

Appearance

The Integra A-Spec®'s athletic styling cues are sure to appeal to performance fans. The vehicle gains a confident profile thanks to 18-inch Berlina Black alloy wheels, complemented by sophisticated black exterior accents that create a sharp contrast. A frameless Diamond Pentagon grille and a streamlined rear spoiler add extra visual flair, with premium exterior paint options like Double Apex Blue Pearl available.

For those seeking maximum visual impact, the Integra Type S serves as the boldest option in the family. Its prominent road presence is defined by flared wider fenders and substantial 19-inch Shark Gray wheels paired with summer performance tires. Enlarged air ducts are integrated into the front bodywork, and a signature triple-exhaust system out back delivers a beautiful acoustic profile.

Features

Inside the cabin, the Integra A-Spec® is outfitted with an array of desirable standard features. Occupants can enjoy a 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen that supports wireless Apple Carplay® and Android Auto® smartphone connectivity. The AcuraWatch driver-assistance package enhances safety, while a sunroof and a wireless charging pad supply added convenience.

The performance-oriented Type S variant steps up the refinement with premium cabin enhancements. Music lovers can experience the rich sound of an ELS Studio premium audio system, while a clear head-up display keeps critical journey data right in front of the driver. Dual-zone automatic climate control is also provided to maintain optimal cabin comfort.
