The 2026 Acura Integra is getting a little more expensive, but the upgrades are almost certainly worth the slight upcharge. Now starting at $33,400 in base form (before the $1,195 destination charge that matches last year), the slick little five-door is only $400 more expensive, a reasonable increase considering it nets a larger infotainment display, expanded technology offerings, and slight cosmetic tweaks that make an already pleasant near-luxury sedan even better. That said, prices on other trims climb a bit more than the base model, so it’s not all good news.

A Still-Affordable Base Price
Despite the meager bump, the cheapest Integra comes with a few nice upgrades relative to last year. Every model comes standard with a 9.0-inch center touchscreen, an improvement of 2.0 inches over the 2025 base and A-Spec trims – the A-Spec with Technology package already came with the niner. Some more technology features make their way downward, including the Tech pack’s wireless charging pad, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Moving from the base Integra to the A-Spec costs $37,145 with destination, $800 more than last year. For that coin, you get the aforementioned screen and wireless phone technology, as well as a more aggressive body kit and new 18-inch black wheels.
The Integra A-Spec Tech package sees a $1,200 price increase for 2026, despite receiving far less additional stuff than its lesser siblings. The head-up display, ELS Studio 3D audio system, and no-cost-optional six-speed manual transmission were all found in the 2025 model, as were the 9.0-inch display and wireless charging that trickled down into the base and A-Spec trims. The only upgrade of any note is the new body kit and wheel design shared with the non-Tech A-Spec, plus new ambient lighting. We’re not sure why the model with the fewest additions costs the most compared to its pre-facelift equivalent.
Top-Spec Machinery Commands Top Dollar
At the very top of the Integra range is the aggressive Type S, which gets wider bodywork and better handling, ditching the standard 200-horsepower, 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four for a 2.0-liter unit making 120 additional ponies. The manual-only 2026 Integra Type S costs $54,595 with destination, an increase of $500 compared to 2025. Acura hasn’t announced any specific upgrades for the 2026 Integra Type S, but we presume that it might come with some cosmetic alterations that likely won’t have much effect on the car’s ability to scramble up a canyon road thanks to its 320 hp and standard limited-slip differential, as well as the adaptive dampers and impressive audio system that make it a pretty fun daily driver.
The 2026 Integra should hit dealer showrooms before the end of summer. Both the standard hatch and the Type S are built at parent company Honda’s manufacturing facility in Marysville, Ohio. The Integra family’s mid-$30k starting price undercuts the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA by quite a bit, although some buyers might be swayed by a loaded Honda Civic Touring Hybrid, which boasts a similarly appointed interior – though sans class-leading El Segundo Studio 3D audio – and is more powerful, torquier, and more efficient than the Acura. The flagship electrified Honda Civic hatchback costs $34,690 to start, $95 more than the base Integra.
