The 2026 Acura Integra arrives at Acura Of Hamilton as a premium sport compact that honours its heritage while meeting modern expectations. This five-door liftback pairs turbocharged performance with practical versatility, offering drivers in Hamilton a sedan that handles daily duties and weekend drives with equal capability. Built on a rigid platform with sport-tuned suspension, the Integra delivers engaging dynamics alongside the cargo flexibility that comes with its liftback design. With standard AcuraWatch safety technology and multiple powertrain choices, this model provides a balanced approach to the sport compact segment.
The 2026 Acura Integra is offered in four distinct trims, each delivering a different balance of features and performance:
The 2026 Integra showcases a purposeful design anchored by Jewel Eye LED headlights and Chicane LED Daytime Running Lights. Five exterior colours are available: Platinum White Pearl, Majestic Black Pearl, Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Grey Pearl, and Double Apex Blue Pearl. Vehicles finished in Double Apex Blue Pearl feature a body-coloured grille that references the original Integra from four decades ago, while other colours come with a gloss black grille as standard.
The A-SPEC trims feature an aero body kit that adds gloss black side spoilers to the front fascia corners and side sill garnishes designed to enhance aerodynamics. These models ride on 18-inch black aluminium-alloy wheels, while the TYPE S variant steps up to 19-inch aluminium-alloy wheels. Dual-round exhaust finishers are standard across most trims, with the TYPE S displaying a distinctive triple centre exhaust configuration. LED fog lights are included on Elite A-SPEC and Elite A-SPEC MT models, contributing to the vehicle's road presence.
The cabin centres around a 9-inch colour touchscreen--an increase from the previous 7-inch display--with a faster processor for improved responsiveness. All 2026 Integra models include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, along with a wireless phone charger. The 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit digital gauge cluster provides driver information, while Elite A-SPEC models add a 5.3-inch Head-Up Display.
Seating varies by trim level. The A-SPEC features Ebony leatherette seats with 8-way power adjustment for the driver and 4-way manual adjustment for the passenger. Elite A-SPEC models upgrade to 12-way power driver seats with 4-way power lumbar support and 4-way power passenger seats, plus heated second-row seats. Interior colour choices include Ebony leatherette, Red leatherette with Ultrasuede inserts, and Orchid leatherette with Ultrasuede inserts on select trims. The TYPE S offers Ebony leatherette with perforated Ultrasuede inserts. Cargo capacity measures 688 litres with the 60/40 split-folding rear seats upright, and the liftback configuration allows for flexible loading when seats are folded.
Connectivity features are comprehensive across the range. The standard 9-inch touchscreen supports wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. USB connectivity includes one USB-A 2.5A port and one USB-C 3.0A port in front, with two additional USB-C 3.0A ports for second-row passengers on Elite models. A wireless Qi-compatible phone charger is standard, along with Bluetooth streaming audio.
Audio options include an 8-speaker Acura Premium Audio System on the A-SPEC or a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D Premium Audio System with subwoofer on higher trims. Elite A-SPEC models add Amazon Alexa Built-in, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and AcuraLink Connected Services with a complimentary one-year subscription. The dual-zone automatic climate control includes rain-sensing wipers on Elite and TYPE S models, while the A-SPEC uses variable intermittent wipers.
AcuraWatch is standard across all Integra models, providing Collision Mitigation Braking System with pedestrian detection, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Forward Collision Warning, Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning, and Lane Keeping Assist System. Additional features include auto high beam headlights, Blind Spot Information system, and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor. Elite models add Traffic Jam Assist, post-collision braking, and front and rear parking sensors.
The body structure uses Advanced Compatibility Engineering to manage crash energy. Eight airbags are installed throughout the cabin: advanced front airbags, front side airbags, front knee airbags, rear outboard passenger's side airbags, and side curtain airbags. Electronic stability systems include Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, and Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control. An Electronic Parking Brake with automatic brake hold is standard, and Hill Start Assist helps prevent rollback on inclines. The Integra earned a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS and a five-star rating from NHTSA for 2025.
Most Integra models are powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged inline-four cylinder engine producing 200 hp at 6,000 rpm and 192 lb-ft of torque between 1,800 and 5,000 rpm. This VTEC-enhanced DOHC engine operates on a 10.3:1 compression ratio and requires premium unleaded fuel with 91 octane. Buyers can choose between a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with Sequential SportShift paddle shifters or a 6-speed manual transmission with automatic rev-matching and a helical limited-slip differential on the Elite A-SPEC MT.
The TYPE S takes a different approach with a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four delivering 320 hp at 6,500 rpm and 310 lb-ft of torque from 2,600 to 4,000 rpm. This variant features a 9.8:1 compression ratio, requires 93-octane premium fuel, and comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission equipped with a helical limited-slip differential. The TYPE S includes an active exhaust valve and reaches a 7,000 rpm redline. All models send power to the front wheels through a front-wheel-drive configuration.
Fuel consumption varies by trim and transmission. The A-SPEC and Elite A-SPEC with CVT rate at 8.0 L/100 km city, 6.3 L/100 km highway, and 7.3 L/100 km combined. The Elite A-SPEC MT with the manual transmission rates at 8.9 L/100 km city, 6.5 L/100 km highway, and 7.8 L/100 km combined. The TYPE S rates at 11.1 L/100 km city, 8.3 L/100 km highway, and 9.9 L/100 km combined. All ratings use the Government of Canada's five-cycle testing method, and actual consumption will vary based on driving habits and conditions.
The five-door liftback configuration provides 688 litres of cargo space behind the second row, accessible through a wide opening that simplifies loading larger items compared to a traditional sedan trunk. The 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks allow you to expand cargo room while still accommodating passengers. This design proves useful whether you're transporting sports equipment, shopping purchases, or weekend luggage, making the Integra more versatile than conventional sport compacts.
