Family Ties
The
all-new 2010 Insight shares a family resemblance with the sleek and
sophisticated FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle. The front of the car is
strong and lean with eye-catching projector-beam headlights. The taller
rear helps this 5-door hybrid slip easily through the air, and unique
LED brakelights complete the look.
Space, Man
The
Insight was designed with a low center of gravity and a generous
5-passenger cabin. Five-door access helps meet the needs of an active
lifestyle. The use of smaller internal components allows for more cabin
and cargo space, making the Insight family-friendly and versatile. And
the Insight was designed and built from the ground up to be what it is:
a hybrid.
Green Screens
Half
the fun of driving on less gas is listening to full sound in the
all-new Insight. Standard on the LX is an AM/FM/CD audio system with
four speakers, including an MP3/auxiliary input jack. A built-in Radio
Data System (RDS) gives you additional information about your music. EX
models add a pair of tweeters and Honda's USB Audio Interface [1].
Choose the available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System? with voice recognition [2] and also enjoy the factory-installed Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®[3] communication tool.
Toss it in
The
all-new Insight was designed with versatility in mind. It seats five,
and has five doors to match. The 60/40 split read fold-down seatback
offers maximum flexibility for people to poles to pets-and everything
in between.
411 Before You
You
don't have to look far for the information you need while driving. As
part of its two-tier instrument panel, the Insight features a
sophisticated Multi-Information Display (MID) that provides data on
fuel consumption, temperature and other essentials. The MID is used as
part of the Eco Assist? [4] system for enhanced efficiency.
The centerpiece of the all-new Honda Insight is the latest Integrated Motor Assist IMA® system.
This next-generation hybrid system benefits from everything we have
learned as the first automaker to bring a hybrid to the market in the
U.S., the original Insight. Compared to the system in the Civic Hybrid,
the battery pack was improved, resulting in cost savings and reduced
weight. Its location also allows for greater cabin space. The Insight
features a highly efficient, 1.3-liter, 8-valve, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine and DC-brushless electric motor, and it's equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Efficiency Booster
The unique Eco Assist [1] system enables increased efficiency [2] for improved performance through two elements, an ECON? button
[1] that controls certain functions of the car, and a feedback system
that lets you monitor your driving performance. Eco Scoring at the
conclusion of the drive provides drivers with even more of an incentive
to drive green.
