2027 Acura Integra Type S Adds Limited Heritage Edition

Acura has given the 2027 Integra Type S a modest refresh and added a limited-run Heritage Edition that revives a Phoenix Yellow palette. The changes are cosmetic and convenience-focused, and Acura confirms the powertrain carries over unchanged.

The Type S receives revised cabin materials and new exterior finishes, including standard yellow brake calipers paired with gloss-black wheels and mirror caps. Inside, dark gray trim runs across the door panels, instrument panel, and shifter surround, while a new diamond pattern on the instrument panel and gloss-black HVAC knobs provide additional contrast.

Buyers can choose from three redesigned upholstery themes. The Ebony and yellow treatment uses yellow perforations and extensive yellow stitching on the steering-wheel rim, door panels, shifter boot, and center console. Orchid trim adds blue microsuede stripes, and the Red theme pairs red surfaces with contrasting black microsuede.

Convenience updates include a driver's-seat memory, a memory brake-hold function, and reverse-tilt for both side mirrors. Under the skin the Integra Type S remains a front-wheel-drive car with Honda VTEC technology.

Acura leaves the 2.0-liter turbo and six-speed manual unchanged. Acura quotes 320 horsepower at 6,500 revolutions per minute and 310 pound-feet, 420 Newton-meters, of torque from 2,600 through 4,000 rpm. The six-speed manual retains automatic rev-matching and a limited-slip differential.

Pricing starts at 54,600 dollars, and a 1,395 dollar destination charge brings the out-the-door figure to 55,995 dollars before taxes and fees. EPA fuel-economy ratings are unchanged at 21 miles per gallon city, 28 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined, equivalent to 9.8 liters per 100 kilometers. The Integra Type S and its four-cylinder engine are assembled in Ohio, and the updated model and the Heritage Edition are due to reach dealers in December 2026.

Heritage Edition revives Blazing Phoenix Yellow

To mark three decades since the DC2 Integra Type R arrived in the U.S., Acura will build a Heritage Edition limited to 700 units for the U.S. market. The special model is finished in Blazing Phoenix Yellow, which Acura says is a more vibrant interpretation of the original Phoenix Yellow and the first time Acura has offered yellow on the Integra since model year 2001.

The Heritage Edition adds black exterior badging, copper-finished 10-spoke alloy wheels, and an exclusive titanium shift knob inspired by the JDM Integra Type R. Every Heritage Edition ships with the Ebony and yellow interior. Acura lists a starting price of 56,900 dollars for the Heritage Edition, which carries the same EPA economy ratings as the regular Type S.

Acura plans to show the Integra Type S Heritage Edition at Super Street After Dark in Santa Ana, California, on November 19, and at the Los Angeles Auto Show from November 19 through 29. As with the regular Integra Type S, the Heritage Edition will reach dealers in December 2026.
