The US-Built Acura Integra Lives For 2026 … And Beyond?
The Acura Integra is one of a handful of cars, as opposed to trucks or SUVs, that are still made in the USA.
The Marysville, Ohio-built compact four-door liftback launched for the 2023 model year and is being updated for 2026, which likely ensures its continued production for a few more years.
The mechanical bits remain largely the same, but there are some new styling and technology features.
The front-wheel-drive Integra continues to be offered with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 200 hp. It comes standard with a CVT automatic, but a six-speed manual is available in the A-Spec with Technology trim.
The biggest technical update is the move from a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system display to a nine-inch screen and wireless AppleCar Play and Android Auto smartphone integration along with the addition of a standard wireless charging pad.

The sporty A-Spec also gets an updated bodykit and new 18-inch wheels, plus an optional color-matched grille for cars painted Double Apex Blue Pearl or Performance Red Pearl. Urban Gray Pearl and Platinum White Pearl Integras are also available with color-matched grilles.
Aside from that, the cabin gets a few minor trim changes including blue micro suede inserts for Orchid interiors, and a standard 8-way heated leatherette driver’s seat.
2026 Integra pricing will be announced closer to when deliveries begin in late August, but it will be isolated from any new tariffs on imported automobiles, if not all of its parts.

As for the high performance Integra Type S that won the American Cars And Racing 2024 US-Built Car Of The Year AwardTM, a Honda spokesperson confirmed that it will remain in the lineup, but any updates have not yet been announced.
The Integra Type S has a widebody design, a 320 hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and is only available with a six-speed manual transmission.
Every Acura model sold in the U.S., aside from the new Mexican-made ADX SUV, is assembled locally. Cadillac also sells just one model that’s not built in the U.S., while Tesla is the only full-line automaker with an entirely American-made lineup.
