2026 Acura Integra Reportedly Adding Hybrid Option
The Acura Integra is preparing to offer a new hybrid option, which would be a first in the entry-level luxury segment.
People familiar with the company’s plans have told The Car Guide that an electrified powertrain will be part of the 2026 model lineup, joining the turbocharged 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre engines, the latter powering the high-performance Integra Type S.

The system will derive from the one that powers the new-for-2025 Honda Civic Hybrid, which delivers 200 hp and 232 lb-ft of torque while achieving a combined 5 L/100 km in five-door hatchback configuration similar to the Integra’s.
Right now, the cheapest Acura is rated at 7.4 L/100 km with the standard CVT or 7.8 L/100 km with the available six-speed manual (when equipped with the 1.5-litre engine). Premium gasoline is recommended but not required, whereas a future Integra Hybrid (with a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre mill) would only need regular gas.
Honda Canada doesn’t comment on future products, so an official confirmation is missing. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we hear more from the company.
