Honda has uncovered the production version of the all-new Insight saloon. exposed ahead of its debut at the new York motor Show, the Toyota Prius rival will go on sale later next year however will not make its method into UK showrooms.
We got our very first peek at the new insight at January’s Detroit motor show with a thinly-veiled style concept; as well as the production design sticks extremely carefully to that original concept.

The insight is based on the exact same platfrom as the present Civic hatchback as well as powered by the most recent version of Honda’s integrated motor help (IMA) hybrid powertrain. This combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor that is powered by a lithium-ion battery.

Honda has stated that it expects the insight to get a integrated fuel economic climate score from America’s environmental security company (EPA) of much more than 50mpg. That would put it on a par with the Prius as well as Kia Niro, which have EPA scores of 52mpg as well as 49mpg, respectively.
Where the new insight differs from the previous designs keeping that name is that it is explained by Honda as a ‘premium compact’, as well as it will sit above the smaller Civic in the company’s range. in addition to its fuel economy, the car’s charm will centre on its looks as well as spacious interior, states Honda.
