Honda Hybrid

The Insight-best mileage Honda hybrid vehicle

Honda launched the Insight in 2000 to introduce Honda hybrid vehicles in the market. It is a two-seat hybrid vehicle. Empowered by the most advance Honda hybrid vehicle technology, it has the highest mileage. If you ever thought that the fuel price are increasing rapidly, and of course they are; then, the Insight is the answer for all your worries about the fuel. The fuel efficiency of the Insight is increased by the trademark qualities of the entire Honda hybrid vehicles: aerodynamic shape, ample use of aluminum construction, and the compact design. It is said that depending upon the commute and style of driving one can get upto 700 miles from one tank of gas.

The Insight incorporates a 1.0-liter, 3-cylinder aluminum engine with an electric motor mated to it for additional assistance, whenever needed. These two together produce just over 70 horsepower, but due to the low curb weight of just under 2000 lbs, it is ample for smooth working of the automobile. There are two transmission choices for this Honda hybrid vehicle: Honda's Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), or the 5 speed manual transmission. The electric motor assists in braking and starting and hence saves some of the fuel.

Honda hybrid vehicles rule the arena of hybrid vehicle in the world, and the Honda Insight is without doubt the most recognizable hybrid vehicle in the world. Very popular for its fuel efficiency and due to the compact design, even the most erratic drivers had an eye for it! Though Toyota's Prius overtook it, but it has stood against all the odds and has pulled itself through. The impeccable technology of Honda hybrid vehicles has enabled it to attract a vast array of drivers. No surprise that it has delivered what they expect from a Honda hybrid vehicle!

But recently the sales of Honda Insight are supposed to be non-existent, as one can make it from the manufacturing year of the car. It is almost five years, and obviously, we can expect better and more advanced hybrid vehicle from the automobile industry. This is very much rightly proved by Toyota's Prius and more advanced Honda hybrid vehicle: the Civic. They have overtaken the market from the one time leading Honda Insight.
