Acura Integra 1.5T, A-Spec, Type S & More

Last updated August 4, 2026

Acura Integra

The Integra lineup starts with the 1.5T, which pairs a 200-hp turbo engine with liftback practicality and everyday comfort. The 1.5T w/A-Spec Pkg keeps the same performance but adds a sportier look, while the 1.5T w/A-Spec & Tech Pkg combines that styling with adaptive suspension and richer cabin features. The Type S is the high-performance branch, with 320 horsepower, a manual transmission, bigger brakes, and a more focused chassis.

Frequently asked questions

What are the current Acura Integra trim levels called?

In recent years, the ladder runs from 1.5T to 1.5T with A-Spec, then 1.5T with A-Spec and Technology. The Type S sits separately at the top as the high-performance model and has been part of the lineup since 2024.

Is the Integra 1.5T the base trim?

Yes. The 1.5T is the standard Integra, built around the 200-horsepower turbo engine and practical liftback body. On newer examples it also has heated front seats, a digital gauge display, and a broad safety suite.

Does the Integra A-Spec make the car faster?

No. The regular A-Spec keeps the base model’s 200-horsepower 1.5-liter turbo engine. Its main upgrades are visual, including sportier body trim, black 18-inch wheels, fog lights, a rear spoiler, and darker exterior details on newer models.

What is the Integra Type S?

The Type S is the serious performance Integra. Since its 2024 arrival, it has used a 320-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo engine, a six-speed manual, larger Brembo front brakes, a performance-focused suspension, and wider bodywork.

What does A-Spec add over the base Integra?

A-Spec mainly adds a sportier look rather than more power. In recent years that has meant an aero body kit, black 18-inch wheels, fog lights, a rear spoiler, gloss-black trim, cabin accent lighting, and metal sport pedals.

What does the Technology Package add over the regular A-Spec?

The Technology Package adds meaningful comfort and hardware upgrades. Recent examples have electronically adjustable suspension, premium 16-speaker audio, a windshield-projected information display, upgraded front seats, dual-zone climate control, and parking sensors.

What is the difference between the A-Spec with Technology and the Type S?

The A-Spec with Technology is the more comfort-focused choice, using the 200-horsepower 1.5-liter engine with richer cabin features. The Type S shifts toward performance with 320 horsepower, a manual-only setup, larger brakes, wider bodywork, and firmer chassis tuning.

Do all 1.5T Integra trims have the same power?

Yes. Across the revived lineup, the base, A-Spec, and A-Spec with Technology use a 200-horsepower 1.5-liter turbo engine. Their differences center on styling, cabin equipment, suspension hardware, and transmission rather than extra engine output.

Which Integra trim is the simplest choice for everyday use?

The base 1.5T is the straightforward everyday choice. It keeps the 200-horsepower turbo engine, liftback cargo flexibility, heated front seats, and core safety features without the A-Spec appearance package or Technology hardware.

Which Integra trim feels most upscale for everyday driving?

The A-Spec with Technology is the most complete regular Integra. In recent years it combines the sport-styled exterior with power front seats, premium audio, dual-zone climate control, a windshield-projected display, parking sensors, and adjustable suspension.

Which Integra trim should I look for if cargo flexibility matters most?

Any trim keeps the useful liftback shape, so cargo needs alone do not require moving up the ladder. The lineup uses a wide rear opening and a split-folding back seat, including the performance-focused Type S.

Which Integra trims have a manual transmission?

Factory manual 1.5T examples come from the A-Spec with Technology trim, but that trim is not manual-only. Every Type S uses a close-ratio six-speed manual. The Type S also has a differential that helps the front tires put its extra power down.

Which Integra trims have an adjustable suspension?

In recent years, the A-Spec with Technology and Type S have electronically adjustable suspension. The Technology trim uses it to broaden comfort and handling settings, while the Type S adds more aggressive tuning and a Sport+ mode.

Which Integra trim has the premium audio and head-up display?

The A-Spec with Technology is the regular Integra trim with the 16-speaker premium audio system and a head-up display that projects information near the windshield. Recent versions also pair those features with front and rear parking sensors.

Is the base Integra missing major driver-assistance features?

No, not on newer examples. The base 1.5T includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic monitoring.
