2027 Acura Integra Release Date: What to Expect – The 2027 Acura Integra is expected to arrive at U.S. dealerships in late summer 2026, most likely around August. Acura has historically launched new Integra model years in this timeframe, aligning with the typical late-summer new-model cadence for the brand.
As of early August 2026, official confirmation of exact on-sale timing has not been issued by Acura. Industry previews from established automotive outlets consistently point to an August 2026 arrival for the 2027 model year.
What’s New for the 2027 Acura Integra?
The standard Integra lineup received notable cosmetic and technology updates for the 2026 model year. These included revised exterior styling elements on A-Spec models (new front fascia, body kit, and wheel designs), additional paint colors, a body-color grille option on select colors, a standard 9.0-inch touchscreen with a faster processor, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless phone charging across the board.
Because of those recent changes, major updates are not expected for the base and A-Spec 2027 Integra models. Production of the optional six-speed manual transmission is reported to be paused for the 2027 model year on non-Type S variants due to emissions certification issues related to the 1.5-liter turbo and manual combination.
The high-performance Integra Type S is a different story. Acura and Honda have confirmed that both the Civic Type R and Integra Type S will receive exterior and interior refreshes for the 2027 model year. Expected changes include updated bumpers, wheels, lighting details, interior trim revisions, and possible new paint or customization options. No significant powertrain upgrades are anticipated.
Expected Pricing for the 2027 Model
Pricing details for the 2027 Integra have not been officially released. Current 2026 Integra models start in the mid-$30,000 range (approximately $34,595–$34,695 for the base model) and top out around $54,000–$55,000 for the Type S.
Industry forecasts suggest the 2027 versions will see only modest price increases, if any, remaining in a similar range: roughly $35,000 for the base model, mid-to-high $30,000s to low $40,000s for A-Spec trims, and around $55,000 for the Type S.
Powertrain and Performance Expectations
The mainstream 2027 Integra is expected to retain the 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, paired primarily with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. 0–60 mph times should remain in the low-to-mid 7-second range.
The Integra Type S will continue with its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 320 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, exclusively mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Performance figures should stay near the previously tested 5.2-second 0–60 mph mark. All-wheel drive is not offered on the Integra lineup.
Fuel economy is projected to carry over near current EPA estimates of about 29 city / 37 highway mpg for efficient CVT models and lower figures for the Type S.
Interior, Technology, and Practicality
Expect the same practical hatchback layout that gives the Integra a cargo advantage over many sedan rivals (approximately 24 cubic feet with seats up). The cabin features a 9.0- or 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, the updated 9.0-inch touchscreen, available ELS Studio 16-speaker audio, and AcuraWatch driver-assistance systems as standard.
Interior materials remain a step above the related Honda Civic but still trail some European competitors in perceived luxury. Road noise continues to be a noted drawback in reviews of the current generation.
Safety Features
The 2027 Integra is expected to carry over the full AcuraWatch suite, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and traffic sign recognition. Recent Integra models have earned strong safety scores from NHTSA (five stars) and IIHS (Top Safety Pick recognition in prior years).
Competitors and Market Position
In the U.S. subcompact luxury segment, the Integra competes primarily with the Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, and Cadillac CT4. Its combination of hatchback practicality, engaging driving dynamics (especially the Type S), and relatively accessible pricing continues to set it apart.
Should You Wait for the 2027 Acura Integra?
If you prefer the latest Type S styling updates, waiting for the 2027 facelift makes sense. For most buyers interested in the standard or A-Spec models, the 2026 Integra already incorporates the significant refreshes, and the 2027 version is largely a carryover. Check local Acura dealers in the coming months for inventory updates and official pricing announcements as the late-summer launch window approaches.
