Honda's pure hybrid offering hasn't had the best luck with American shoppers. Although they were first to market a mass production hybrid in the states, the first and second generation Insight never really won over eco minded buyers.
Traditionally hybrid cars are odd looking, but the 2019 Honda Insight not only looks like a normal sedan, it's more attractive than a normal sedan. With Civic proportions and some Accord styling, the Insight's distinct character sets it apart from the other oddball hybrids visually. Now, let's see how the rest of it stacks up.
June 20, 2018 - Honda keeps trying to get people interested in the Insight hybrid. Its latest attempt is the 2019 model; here's what we thought after a first drive.
Leave hybrid compromise in the dust. The Insight features a zippy 1.5-litre, 16-valve: Atkinson cycle DOHC, i-VTEC® 4- cylinder engine that gives you a taste of true hybrid power with 151-hp and 197 lb.-ft. of electric motor torque.
