Acura Integra Wins 2026 Best of the Year Award from Best of the Year Media

The Acura Integra has earned a 2026 Best of the Year Award from Best of the Year Media, recognizing the premium sport compact for its distinctive combination of engaging performance, sophisticated design, advanced technology and everyday practicality.

Selected through an evaluation process that considers product performance, innovation, functionality, value and real-world usefulness, Integra stood out as an enthusiast-focused vehicle that remains comfortable and versatile for daily driving. The honor reflects Integra’s role as the gateway to the Acura brand and its ability to bring together a driver-focused character, premium appointments and flexible liftback utility in one compelling package.

“The Acura Integra was designed to make every drive feel special, and this recognition validates how successfully it blends an engaging, driver-focused experience with the premium features, versatility and everyday comfort our customers value,” said Jessika Laudermilk, assistant vice president of Acura National Sales. “Earning a Best of the Year Award through expert evaluation and real-world consumer testing is a meaningful endorsement of Integra’s ability to deliver genuine driving excitement without compromise to our Acura customers.”

The return of Integra to the Acura lineup revived one of the brand’s most celebrated nameplates. A perennial top seller since its launch in 2022, the Acura Integra has dominated the premium sport compact segment, winning the 2023 North American Car of the Year Award and consistently commanding about 40% of retail sales in the segment. It has been especially important to Acura in attracting the youngest buyers in the segment and the highest conquest rate of any Acura vehicle.

Integra also has continued to earn industry recognition for its sporty design, engaging driving experience, versatile five-door body style and strong value.
