As you can see in the photo attached to the article, Honda Insight sports a Prius-like rear end with the same front showcased by the concept model. But even so, the new Insight is said to include the most advanced hybrid technology ever developed by the Japanese carmaker, providing advanced battery autonomy with moderate engine performance.
Feature highlights include 1.4-liter i-VTEC petrol engine, the same used on Jazz, but obviously concentrated on fuel economy and environmentally-friendly features. The Insight is capable of running at up to 31 mph in full electric mode, with a fuel consumption of 65 mpg and emissions of 100 g/km, according to figures provided by Car Magazine Online.
