The Insight includes the Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission with Shift-By-Wire, Sport Mode, and Deceleration Selectors, which help improve the overall performance efficiency. The Honda Insight gets an EPA-estimated 55 city/49 highway/52 combined MPG for the LX and EX trims.¹

Sophisticated Cabin Features

The Honda Insight comes outfitted with a 6-speaker sound system and the 5-inch Color LCD screen that you can use to select your media options from the road. These features include the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® and audio streaming, and Pandora®, which gives you access to thousands of customizable internet radio stations.

The next trim level up offers the 8-inch high-resolution electrostatic touchscreen display. This updated screen includes plenty of connectivity features.

HondaLink® will sync your car to your phone, so you can have mobile access.

Honda Sensing® Safety Features

Another amazing component included with Honda hybrids is Honda Sensing®. This system is a network of driver-assisting technology features that use exterior sensors to predict possible collisions or lane departures. The Collision Mitigation Braking System™ and Forward Collision Warning work together to detect a possible impact and use brake pressure to reduce the severity of the crash while giving you a chance to react and prevent it.

Honda Sensing® also includes Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, and Traffic Sign Recognition System. The Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow lets you set a speed and distance, so your vehicle will adapt to the flow of traffic.
