ANALYSISHow safe is the 2026 Acura Integra Type-S?
The 2026 Acura Integra Type-S reaches a Safety Index of 100/100, a one-point gain over the 2025 model year's 99/100, both sitting in the Exceptional band. That single-point improvement reflects a perfect defect record score of 20/20, something the 2025 could not fully claim, combined with a full 10/10 for crash-avoidance technology and 70/70 for crash protection. Forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control all come standard, accounting for the complete avoidance-tech score. The crash-test picture is partially open: NHTSA has not yet run frontal or side protocols on this model year, which is common for a current-year vehicle still entering the fleet. What NHTSA has measured is rollover resistance, and the result is a maximum 5 out of 5 stars with a 10 percent risk figure and a clean No Tip outcome on the dynamic maneuver. The single complaint on file is notable for spanning three separate component categories, but with only one report and no injuries or crashes alleged, it does not shift the safety calculus at this stage.
