Specs at a Glance
The 2027 Acura Integra remains a standout favorite among entry-level luxury sport compacts. Drivers praise its rewarding dynamics, refined cabin tech, and practical five-door versatility. If you are in the market for a new Integra, your decision will likely come down to the versatile A-Spec® or the track-oriented Type S. Here is a breakdown of how these two distinct models match up.
Performance
Under the hood of the Integra A-Spec® sits an energetic 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC four-cylinder engine generating 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. Power flows to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) paired with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for manual control. Acura's Integrated Dynamics System lets you easily adjust throttle mapping and steering weight across several drive modes to suit your mood.
Stepping up to the Integra Type S brings serious track capability courtesy of a high-output 2.0-liter turbocharged VTEC engine delivering 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Engineered strictly for driving enthusiasts, it pairs exclusively with a crisp, close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox. Chassis and hardware upgrades include high-capacity Brembo front brakes, an advanced Dual-Axis Strut front suspension setup, and a variable Active Exhaust Valve for an authoritative rumble.
Appearance
Sport-inspired styling details give the Integra A-Spec® an athletic presence on the road. It rides on 18-inch Berlina Black alloy wheels complemented by a gloss-black lower rear diffuser and a sleek trunk-lid spoiler. Acura's distinctive Jewel Eye LED headlights and Chicane LED taillights frame the exterior, while eye-catching finish options like Double Apex Blue Pearl give it unmistakable curb appeal.
The Integra Type S takes visual aggression a step further with an expanded widebody profile built for functional aerodynamics. Flared fenders frame prominent cooling vents, while 19-inch Shark Gray alloy wheels showcase bold red brake calipers. At the back, a signature center-exit triple exhaust system signals the car's motorsport DNA.
Features
The cabin of the Integra A-Spec® comes well-appointed with intuitive technology and daily comforts. Key amenities include a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment interface supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.2-inch digital driver display, and heated front seating. Drivers also benefit from a wireless smartphone charging pad, a power moonroof, and the full AcuraWatch bundle of active safety and driver-assist technologies.
Upgrading to the Type S introduces premium additions such as a 16-speaker ELS Studio audio system and an intuitive head-up display. To maximize structural rigidity and lower the car's center of gravity for sharper handling, Acura intentionally omits the moonroof on the Type S model.
