2026 Acura Integra Elite A-SPEC: What the Upgrade Adds
View Inventory View Gallery Contact Us
The 2026 Acura Integra Elite A-SPEC is worth a closer look if you want more seat adjustment, upgraded audio and a choice of transmissions. Its appeal is in those specific changes—not an increase in horsepower over A-SPEC.
For Edmonton shoppers comparing the two trims, start with how you drive and which cabin features you’ll actually use.
The same engine, with two transmission choices
Elite A-SPEC uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. It is front-wheel drive. The Canadian lineup includes Elite A-SPEC with a continuously variable transmission, plus a separate Elite A-SPEC MT with a six-speed manual.
The manual version includes a helical limited-slip differential. If you want to shift yourself, ask specifically for the MT when checking availability; the Elite A-SPEC name on its own does not identify the transmission.
Where Elite changes the experience
Both Elite versions have an Adaptive Damper System and an Individual drive mode. Those are useful reasons to compare them with A-SPEC on the same route, paying attention to the ride over familiar pavement rather than relying on the badge alone.
Inside, the driver gets 12-way power adjustment with four-way lumbar support. Front seats combine leatherette with Ultrasuede inserts, and the 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D system replaces A-SPEC’s eight-speaker setup.
If two people share the car, try the seat-memory function during your visit. If music is a priority, compare the systems with a track you know well. These are easier differences to judge in person than from a specification list.
Decide between CVT and manual before comparing quotes
The CVT and manual versions differ in more than how you change gears. Acura lists remote engine start on the CVT version, while Adaptive Cruise Control’s Low-Speed Follow function is also specific to CVT-equipped Integras. The manual has adaptive cruise control without that function. Driver-assistance systems require your attention and have operating limitations.
