Introduction

The 2025 Acura Integra is a premium sport compact with a five-door liftback body. The high-performance Type S, added for 2024, carries over, and the regular Integra starts at $33,000.

For those who crave a manual transmission, a lightweight chassis, and a badge that once ruled the 90s tuner scene, the new Integra blends modern tech with driving purity. It suits both daily commuting and occasional track days.

This guide covers performance specs, trim details, official pricing and EPA ratings, comparisons with rivals like the Civic Type R and GR Corolla, and what to check if you are buying a 2025 Integra used.

Here is how the 2025 Integra stacks up.

What’s New in the 2025 Acura Integra?

The 2025 Integra carries over the 2024 model with few changes. (Shopping Acura’s three-row SUV instead? See our 2024 Acura MDX guide.) The biggest headline is that the Integra Type S, which joined the lineup for 2024, is still here.

Key points for 2025:

Type S Trim: Track-tuned, with 320 hp, sport exhaust, adaptive suspension, and wider tires.
Color Options: Apex Blue Pearl remains available alongside other metallic and pearl shades.
Infotainment: A 7-inch touchscreen is standard; a 9-inch screen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and 16-speaker ELS audio is available.
Safety Suite Enhancements: Standard AcuraWatch includes adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist and traffic jam assist.

Styling carries over for 2025; a styling and tech refresh arrived for 2026. Inside, the A-Spec Technology Package and Type S add upscale comfort with performance vibes.

Overall, the 2025 Acura Integra is a carryover year, which makes it a straightforward used buy.

Buying a Used 2025 Acura Integra? What to Check

A 2025 Integra is now usually a used or leftover purchase. Here is what to check.

NHTSA recalls

NHTSA lists one recall campaign for the 2025 Integra: 24V744, which covers a steering gearbox that may have been built incorrectly, causing excess internal friction and heavier steering. It also covers 2024-2025 Integra Type S models. Check the VIN at NHTSA. NHTSA rates the 2025 Integra 5 stars overall, with 5 stars in frontal, side and rollover ratings.

What changed after 2025

The 2026 Integra got a refresh with styling updates, more standard technology including a larger standard touchscreen, a new aero kit for the A-Spec and three new colors. Prices rose to $33,400 for the base car and $53,400 for the Type S, before a $1,295 destination charge. The Integra is still sold.

If you do not need the 2026 updates, a 2025 with the same engines can be the better value.
