2010 Honda Insight Highlights
The 2010 Honda Insight is a new, dedicated hybrid model from the Japanese automaker.
This gas/electric hybrid car is a five-passenger, 4-door hatchback that mates a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine
with a battery-powered electric motor for 98 hp. Honda's hybrid system allows Insight to run on one or
both of its power sources.
Most of the time, however, the gas engine shuts off at a stop and restarts
again when the driver releases his or her foot from the brake pedal. No plug-in charging is required.
Insight has a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). LX and EX trim levels are available.
Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags,
and front side airbags. EX comes with cruise control, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, alloy wheels,
heated power mirrors, and an upgraded audio system. A navigation system is available,
and Insights so equipped are priced as separate models.
They also include a wireless cell-phone link.
