The Insight—whose aim is mainly to rival the Toyota Prius—is back this year without any fanfare. Its hybrid system comes with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor that combine for 151 horsepower. Inside, it offers ample room for passengers and an ultra-modern dashboard that is sure to be a hit with techies.
Pros
- Energy efficient
- Comes with more equipment than the Civic
- More affordable than an Accord hybrid
Cons
- Looks too much like the Civic
- You can’t expect the engine to be exciting
- Not a plug-in (therefore no government rebate)
