ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Acura Integra Type-S?
The 2025 Acura Integra Type-S marks a meaningful step forward from an already strong baseline. The NHTSA Safety Index climbed from 96/100 in the 2024 model year to 99/100 here, a 3-point gain within the Exceptional band. That movement is driven by the defect record sub-score of 19 out of 20, reflecting a single-recall footprint on a vehicle that shares a broad Honda platform. The crash-protection sub-score holds at a full 70 out of 70, supported by the 5-star rollover result and a 10 percent rollover risk figure that is notably low. The avoidance-tech sub-score reaches the maximum 10 out of 10, with forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control all listed as standard equipment. The one active recall targets the steering system and spans multiple Honda and Acura nameplates from the 2022-2025 model years, so it is a platform-level concern rather than something unique to the Type-S trim. With only three reported complaints and zero alleged crashes, fires, or injuries in those reports, the complaint record for this year is thin, though it remains early in the vehicle's ownership cycle.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2025 Acura Integra Type-S perform in crash tests?
