Your First Acura Starts at Gary Force Acura in Brentwood
The Acura that catches your eye should still feel like the right choice on a Tuesday morning. Perhaps you want a car that makes the drive into Nashville more enjoyable, or an SUV with room for the people and plans that keep finding their way onto your calendar. At Gary Force Acura in Brentwood, start with what you want from the drive, then work through the model, equipment and price that make it possible.
This guide covers the 2026 Integra, ADX, RDX and MDX, along with the buying and ownership questions worth asking before you choose. There is a personal side to learning a new Acura, too: Gary Force Acura offers complimentary technology assistance with phone pairing, vehicle settings and other supported features. You can explore the possibilities without feeling that you need to learn every screen and button on your own.
Which 2026 Acura models should I compare?
Begin with the kind of vehicle you want to live with. The 2026 Integra is a sport compact with a liftback cargo opening, while the ADX gives you an entry point into Acura's SUV range. The RDX is a two-row sport crossover, and the MDX adds a third row with seating for up to seven. That first distinction can narrow your search before package names enter the conversation.
Think about the passenger list on your busiest day. If a stop at Crockett Park means taking extra people as well as their bags, try the MDX with the third row occupied and look at the cargo space that remains. If you rarely fill a second row, compare the ADX and RDX for the seating position, rear-seat room and controls you prefer. Keep the Integra in the conversation if you enjoy a car and want the flexibility of a liftback.
Check the model year, package and installed equipment on each inventory listing, and confirm availability before visiting. A vehicle you have researched and a vehicle currently for sale are not always the same configuration.
How much does a 2026 Acura cost?
Starting MSRP gives you a useful baseline for comparing Acura models. The table shows the entry price for each 2026 model, before the exclusions listed below. Once a particular Acura catches your attention, move to its individual listing and a written quote so you can compare the vehicle and equipment you would actually purchase.
| 2026 Acura model | Starting MSRP* |
|---|---|
| Integra | $33,400 |
| ADX | $35,000 |
| RDX | $45,100 |
| MDX | $51,800 |
*Starting MSRPs checked September 10, 2026. Manufacturer-suggested prices exclude taxes, title, license, destination and handling, registration and documentary fees. Premium paint, accessories and other equipment may cost extra. Dealers set their own prices.
Gary Force Acura's documentation fee is $599. Request a written, itemized quote showing the advertised vehicle price, the documentation fee and the other charges that make up your total. Ask which charges are already included in the advertised price so the same fee is not counted twice, and review any offer's eligibility requirements before using it in your comparison.
What do A-Spec and Type S mean?
A-Spec emphasizes sport styling and equipment, while Type S identifies Acura's performance-focused models. The difference becomes more useful when you look at a specific Acura: the 2026 Integra Type S pairs a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a six-speed manual transmission. A-Spec and Type S are therefore more than interchangeable names on a feature list, and their equipment varies by model.
If you like the A-Spec appearance, spend time with its seats, finishes and included features. If a Type S is on your list, give the driving experience as much attention as the equipment. Choose the version that delivers something you will enjoy regularly, whether that is the cabin you settle into each morning or the way the vehicle responds on a weekend drive.
Do all Acura SUVs have the same all-wheel drive?
No. The 2026 RDX includes Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, or SH-AWD, as standard equipment. The 2026 MDX offers SH-AWD depending on package, while the ADX offers a different AWD system. An AWD-equipped ADX does not have SH-AWD, so check the exact model and drivetrain when comparing vehicles.
What should I know about AcuraWatch?
AcuraWatch is Acura's suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies, with features and operating limits that vary by model and configuration. For example, the 2026 Integra's CVT versions include Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow; manual-transmission versions have Adaptive Cruise Control without Low-Speed Follow. That is a useful distinction to discuss when comparing two Integras that otherwise look similar.
Take time to understand the controls and alerts while the vehicle is parked, and review its owner's manual before using the systems. Driver-assistance features have limitations and do not replace attentive driving. Acura cautions that Adaptive Cruise Control should not be used in heavy traffic, poor weather or on winding roads.
What warranty comes with a new Acura?
For the 2026 Integra, ADX, RDX and MDX, Acura lists a 4-year/50,000-mile vehicle limited warranty and a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. Outer-body rust-through coverage is 5 years with unlimited mileage. The applicable warranty booklet explains the coverage period, exclusions and claim procedures; ordinary maintenance and normal wear items are among the exclusions.
What ownership support does Gary Force Acura offer?
Gary Force Acura's Complimentary First Service Program covers the first minor service on a new vehicle and the first oil change on a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. The listed new-vehicle service includes an oil and filter change, tire rotation and fluid-level checks. Ask about the current program details and how the dealership's benefit relates to any applicable Acura maintenance coverage, so you know which service is included.
For later visits, the dealership lists Acura factory-trained technicians, online service scheduling, a lounge with workspace and Wi-Fi, and access to available loaner vehicles or shuttle service. Loaner availability may be limited; contact the service team before planning your day around one. If you need to keep working during an appointment, the workspace is another detail worth considering alongside the vehicle itself.

Where are the 2026 Acura models built?
The 2026 Integra, RDX and MDX are assembled in the United States, while the 2026 ADX is assembled in Mexico, according to manufacturer data published by NHTSA. U.S. assembly does not mean every component is American-made; the vehicles use domestic and globally sourced parts. For an individual Acura, review its parts-content label for the final assembly point and the listed origins of its engine and transmission.
What is the latest on Acura's future hybrid SUV?
Acura is previewing a next-generation Hybrid SUV Prototype with a two-motor hybrid system and a newly developed electric AWD unit. It is a future-vehicle preview, separate from the gasoline-powered 2026 RDX covered in this guide. If your decision depends on a hybrid, follow Acura's official updates and ask about confirmed availability before building your purchase plans around a delivery date.
Should I lease or finance my Acura?
Leasing lets you use a vehicle for an agreed period with a selected mileage allowance; financing is a way to purchase it through a loan. Acura Financial Services presents leasing as an option for drivers who enjoy changing vehicles every few years, while financing may suit those who prefer longer ownership. Start with how long you expect to keep the Acura and how much you drive, then compare the actual offers available to you.
A Franklin-to-Nashville commute is only part of an annual mileage estimate. Include weekend plans, errands and trips that fall outside the workweek before choosing a lease allowance. Ask for the amount due at signing, payment schedule and mileage terms of a lease, or the APR, loan term and total payments of a financing offer. Approval and terms depend on the applicant and the offer; a monthly payment alone cannot answer every budget question.
Are there programs for military members or college graduates?
Acura offers Military Appreciation and College Graduate programs for qualifying customers purchasing or leasing eligible new vehicles through Acura Financial Services. Military eligibility depends on service category and, where applicable, separation dates; graduate eligibility includes qualifying recent or upcoming graduation and AFS credit and documentation requirements. Review the current program terms while narrowing your vehicle choice so you can understand whether either applies to your transaction.
The new-vehicle programs described here do not apply to used or Acura Certified Pre-Owned vehicles and cannot be combined with Zero Due at Signing leases. Benefits, eligible vehicles and deadlines are governed by the current offer, and AFS approval is required. Use the program details below to check your circumstances before including a benefit in your budget.
Should I also consider Acura Precision Certified?
Acura Precision Certified is a pre-owned vehicle program, separate from the decision about how to pay. It includes a 182-point inspection and Acura-backed limited warranty coverage. Comparing a certified Acura alongside a new one gives you another way to explore the model and equipment you want; review each vehicle's condition, mileage, price and inspection report.
Precision Certified powertrain coverage extends to 7 years or 100,000 total odometer miles, whichever occurs first, from the original in-service date. Non-powertrain coverage is 2 years or 100,000 total odometer miles, whichever occurs first, beginning when the new-vehicle limited warranty expires or on the certified sale date if that warranty has already expired. Review the vehicle's warranty booklet for remaining coverage and exclusions. Precision Used and Precision Certified EV have different terms.
