The 2026 Acura Integra, explained plainly.

Every 2026 Integra gets a larger 9-inch touchscreen, up from 7 inches, plus standard wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless phone charging, all previously optional. The A-Spec trim gets a new aero body kit and 18-inch black wheels, and three new colors joined the lineup: Double Apex Blue Pearl, Solar Silver Metallic, and Urban Gray Pearl.

The Integra is a four-door hatchback (liftback), not a sedan. It's cross-shopped alongside compact sedans since it fills that role in Acura's lineup, but the hatchback body is exactly what gives it 24.3 cubic feet of cargo space — dramatically more than any true sedan in this class.

Base, A-Spec, and A-Spec with Technology Package use a 200-hp turbo engine with a CVT (manual available) and get up to 32 mpg combined. The Type S is a fundamentally different car — a 320-hp turbo engine, manual transmission only, and a helical limited-slip differential, at roughly 24 mpg combined on required premium fuel. Want an efficient, comfortable daily driver? Stick with the standard lineup. Want a genuine enthusiast's car? Look at the Type S.

No. Every 2026 Integra, including the Type S, is front-wheel drive only. Acura does not offer AWD on the Integra.

No — worth knowing plainly. Front and rear parking sensors are only available on the A-Spec with Technology Package. They're not included on Base, standard A-Spec, or even the Type S.

The 2026 Integra earned a Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS, the organization's second-highest distinction, plus a 5-star overall rating from NHTSA. Every trim includes AcuraWatch standard: adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

After you buy your Integra from Nalley, online or in person, you have 7 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first, to return it, no questions asked. Separately, you also get a 30-day window to exchange it for a different vehicle. See nalleycars.com for full terms.

Falcons and Atlanta United game days around Mercedes-Benz Stadium mean tight parking decks and stop-and-go traffic on the surrounding surface streets. The Integra's compact footprint and tight turning radius make it easier to work into and out of crowded decks than a full-size sedan, and the hatchback's 24.3 cubic feet of cargo space, expandable further with the rear seats folded, comfortably swallows tailgate gear that would strain the trunk on a Camry or Accord.

The Battery Atlanta's parking decks and surface streets around Truist Park get congested well before first pitch. The Integra's tight turning radius helps in the decks, and its liftback cargo area handles tailgate coolers and chairs with room to spare compared to a conventional sedan trunk.

The Downtown Connector, where I-75 and I-85 merge through the heart of Atlanta, is stop-and-go for a big chunk of the day. The standard Integra's turbo engine and CVT are tuned for exactly this kind of low-speed, stop-and-restart commuting, and the Base and A-Spec trims return up to 32 mpg combined even in heavy traffic.

Whether it's the Perimeter on I-285, the GA-400 corridor into the northern suburbs, I-85 toward Gwinnett, or I-20 heading east or west out of downtown, Atlanta rush hour is defined by long stretches of stop-and-go merging. The standard Integra's turbo four and CVT keep things smooth and efficient in that kind of traffic, while the manual-only Type S rewards more attentive, engaged driving if you don't mind rowing your own gears during the commute.
