2026 Acura Integra Type S

The Integra is Acura's compact hatchback, reviving a beloved nameplate with a focus on driving engagement and everyday usability. It squares off against the Audi A3, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, and Mazda 3 Turbo, offering a more affordable entry into premium compacts. The Integra handles with the poise of a true sport compact, with quick steering and a chassis that rewards spirited driving. Ride quality is firm, especially in the Type S, but the trade-off is sharp body control and a planted feel at speed. The hatchback body provides a surprisingly roomy cargo area, and the rear seats fold flat for bulky loads. The 2.0L I4 makes 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, sent through a six-speed manual to the front wheels, and the helical limited-slip diff pulls you through corners hard. It comes without a moonroof to keep the body stiff, and the adaptive dampers let you choose between a comfortable daily drive and a sharp track-ready feel.
