More technology, bold styling, and enhanced refinement for Acura's popular compact sports car

Acura just unveiled details about the 2026 Integra. Expected at Canadian dealerships in October, this mid-cycle update promises notable improvements in technical and aesthetic terms, not to mention greatly enhanced technological features, particularly for the A-SPEC version.

A sleek look and trendy colours
The 2026 Integra stands out first and foremost for its appearance. It features a brand-new aerodynamic kit and black 18-inch wheels, giving the A-SPEC version an even more muscular style. To personalize your driving experience, three new exterior colours are available: Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl and Double Apex Blue Pearl. The latter is a nod to the original Integra models from the 1980s and features a body-coloured grille.

A redesigned cabin for a connected experience
Inside, the 2026 Integra has been upgraded. The touchscreen has grown from 7 to 9 inches, providing a faster, more intuitive interface. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, as well as induction charging, are now standard, ensuring seamless connectivity. The A-SPEC version features enhanced ambient lighting and new, refined trim, including yellow stitching for the ebony upholstery and blue inserts for the orchid leather.

Driving dynamics  as exciting as ever
The 2026 Integra retains its 200-hp, 1.5L, VTEC, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine under the hood. Drivers can choose between a responsive CVT transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission with automatic rev matching and a limited-slip differential for purists. Thanks to its rigid chassis, sport suspension, and available ADS adaptive damping system, the Integra continues to offer the perfect balance of comfort and performance.

Unmatched Versatility in the Segment
The Acura Integra remains one of a kind with its hatchback body and 60/40 split-folding rear seats. It is the only five-door compact sports car in its segment, combining a dynamic look with practical, everyday versatility. Generous rear legroom ensures excellent comfort for all passengers.

Advanced safety features
All Integra models feature the AcuraWatch suite, which includes pre-collision braking, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition and a 10.2-inch digital display. The Elite A-SPEC version adds a head-up display, Alexa integration and front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking at low speeds for optimal protection.
