An icon in the world of hybrid vehicles, Honda’s Insight has been refined into a handsome and sophisticated compact sedan since its influential debut more than 20 years ago. It looks and feels better than ever with its high-tech chassis and equipment. There’s a wealth of features included with the 2022 Honda Insight, and here are just a few of them!
1. Beautiful Exterior Styling
As Insight’s looks have evolved over the years, the latest design has become truly elegant, and its lines bring to mind the well-toned muscles of an athlete. Distinct air ducts on the bottom of the front fascia work well with the grille to suggest exceptional performance. Slick LED lighting and aggressive alloy wheels complete the ultra-modern look.
The car’s flowing lines aren’t just pretty to look at, either—Honda designed them for maximum drag reduction. The way the lights were sculpted effectively blocks unwanted airflow into the vehicle’s rear.
2. Capable Hybrid Powertrain
Insight’s hybrid system easily exceeds the performance of many similarly sized gas-only engines while achieving an outstanding EPA rating of up to 52 mpg combined. The 1.5L inline-four engine combines with two electric motors for 151 horsepower and 197 pound-feet of torque. This allows the sedan to go from 0 to 60 in under 8 seconds.
An electronic continuously variable transmission uses shift-by-wire tech and applies the power smoothly and efficiently. It features multiple drive modes, including an ECON mode for greater fuel efficiency and a Sport mode for when you want to add more excitement to your driving experience.
3. Impressive Handling
While it isn’t a sports car, the Insight handles like it wants to be one. MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension make direction changes feel impressively quick. At the same time, the suspension provides a ride quality that feels exceptionally smooth, even on bumpy roads.
The steering is direct and well-balanced, making the Insight feel incredibly intuitive. The power-assisted ventilated disc brakes provide excellent and responsive power.
4. Luxurious Touring Model
The Insight Touring offers a slew of premium features that you’d only expect from much higher-priced sedans for an entry-level price. The Touring model adds another layer of sophistication to Insight’s already upscale and spacious cabin with refined leather trim. It comes standard with heated 8-way driver/4-way front passenger power seats and dual-zone automatic climate control.
There’s a one-touch power moonroof for easy access to the open sky and a 450-watt 10-speaker premium audio system to complete this compelling package.
5. Impressive Connectivity
A high-resolution 8-inch infotainment touchscreen is present in both the EX and Touring models. The system offers Apple CarPlay/Android Auto capability, Bluetooth, and HondaLink services. HondaLink interfaces with your device to view regular vehicle health reports, provide the navigation system with a destination searched from your phone, and get service reminders.
Owners of the Touring model can use added Wi-Fi hot spot capability and subscription HondaLink services. These services include automatic collision notification to a live agent, live assistance with non-accident emergencies, and enhanced roadside assistance.
The Insight keeps its spot at the top of the compact hybrid pile, featuring better handling and performance than its contemporaries. That’s no surprise after years of Honda’s refinement and innovation! Visit DARCARS Honda today to experience the 2022 model lineup!
