ANALYSISHow safe is the 2026 Acura Integra?
The 2026 Acura Integra is the first model year in this generation to achieve a perfect NHTSA Safety Index of 100/100. This single-point gain over the 2025 model's 99/100 traces directly to the defect record component, which now scores a full 20/20 against zero open recall campaigns. Crash protection holds at a maximum 70/70, anchored by five-star NHTSA ratings in every tested category. The vehicle demonstrates a 10 percent rollover risk with a No Tip dynamic result. The avoidance technology component also scores a perfect 10/10, reflecting forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control all listed as standard equipment. The sole NHTSA complaint on file is an unverified allegation touching steering, electrical, and brake concerns, but with no reported crashes or injuries attached, it does not move any component of the index. The 2026 model year distinguishes itself from its predecessor not through dramatic redesign, but by its entirely clean defect record.
