MMC Integra Changes Speculation

[VtecBuddy]

It seems like the mid-cycle refresh for the Integra could possibly be coming up in 2026 since the Civic had its MMC in 2025, so I was curious to get folks' thoughts on what could change. I'm basing these speculations on changed with the 2025 Civic Si and also what the Acura ADX has that the Integra doesn't.

Things I think might be added/ made part of an Advance package:

• B&O system swapped out for ELS system
• Heated steering wheel
• Ventilated front seats
• Google Built-in and Alexa Built-in (as well as integration for maps, etc into the gauge cluster)
• Surround View 360 camera
• Improved AcuraWatch performance (the 2025 Civic Si had its Honda Sensing system enhanced with increased visibility)

Any thoughts on these?

I would say that the features added for the ADX are a fairly safe bet assuming they can keep the Integra's pricing attractively affordable. The ADX being another entry level model (and the more popular CUV segement) could bite into Integra sales, but if they keep pricing more or less the same while adding some features, it should remain a good seller, and will help further distance it from the Civic Si and new Civic Hybrids in terms of features.

I very slightly revised front/rear appearance will round out any visual tweaks. It would be nice to see the 2 tone interior from the ADX become an option as well.

My wish is definitely for feature parity with the ADX even just a few features (mainly ventilated seats, pano sunroof definitely won't happen). Unfortunately, I don't think this will happen.

Why? Acura couldn't even do this with their selling models. The MDX received the pushed-forward infotainment, all digital gauge cluster, etc. The TLX received the all digital gauge cluster and larger infotainment, but not the pushed-up infotainment. The RDX, which sells pretty well, received... nothing really. Just the typical exterior frame less grill update and Google built-in/Widescreen mode which is essentially just a software update, something that costs Acura nothing. No bigger infotainment, no touchscreen, no all-digital dash, etc. If Acura can't afford to give the RDX a proper mid-model refresh, I don't have faith the Integra will receive one.

What I expect:
- Google built-in infotainment
- Lose the foglights with the Civic's longer chin
- Standard heated steering wheel
- B&O instead of ELS

Why? Because the Integra is treated like the Civic Si and the Civic Si didn't receive much either.

What I personally wish for even if not all:
- Civic's hybrid powertrain (unlikely)
- ADX's ventilated seats (unlikely)
- Civic's added sound deadening and noise cancellation (unlikely unless a hybrid)
- Better build quality all around (haha)
- ADX's two-tone seats and better styled dash (unlikely)
- rear seat vents (haha)
- Accord's 12.3" infotainment (definitely not)
- ADX's power hatch would be cool
