The Insight features the Ecological Drive Assist System (Eco Assist), an
innovation that can further enhance efficient vehicle operation while providing
feedback related to individual driving styles.
"The all-new Honda Insight
brings the cost of entry for hybrid technology within closer reach of an
entirely new car-shopping audience," said Dick Colliver, executive vice
president of American Honda. "In addition to making good environmental sense,
hybrid technology is now entering a new era where it can also make financial
sense for a broader range of customers."
A sleek exterior blends design
elements from the original 2000 Insight's highly aerodynamic side profile with a
front-end design similar to the hydrogen-powered FCX Clarity, a marquee
environmental product for Honda. The interior offers a roomy passenger
environment with a configurable rear seating and cargo area that benefits from
60/40 split fold-down seats.
Two Models Available: LX and EX
Major features standard to the Insight LX include front, front-side and
side-curtain airbags; an anti-lock braking system; a continuously variable
automatic transmission (CVT); Eco Assist; automatic climate control; tilt and
telescope steering column; manual driver's seat height adjustment; power
windows; a four-speaker AM/FM audio system with CD player and auxiliary audio
input for external digital music players; and much more.
