New Grade Added to Further Enhance Refinement
The current Insight, which debuted in 2018, was developed with the aim of "a car with simple, timeless, and essential appeal." It has been well-received by users for many aspects, including its low and wide design, the powerful driving performance delivered by the two-motor hybrid system's 1.5L e:HEV, its spacious interior that doesn't feel like a hybrid, and its practicality with a 519-liter trunk room.
Honda Insight EX･PRIME STYLE
With this minor change, while retaining its existing merits, the lineup has been expanded by adding a new grade that further enhances refinement and by incorporating exclusive equipment.
The new "EX･PRIME STYLE" grade emphasizes a sense of luxury with its ivory-based interior, while the exterior features a spoiler-less trunk lid, a dark chrome-plated front grille, and 17-inch aluminum wheels with machined accents for a more sophisticated look.
Honda Insight EX･BLACK STYLE
Additionally, the premium "EX･BLACK STYLE" grade features larger 18-inch aluminum wheels (up from 17-inch), stainless steel sport pedals, and interior stitching colors that match the exterior color, enhancing its exclusive equipment.
The powertrain is exclusively a combination of a 1.5-liter DOHC i-VTEC engine and e:HEV with an electric continuously variable transmission. Prices are as follows: LX at ¥3,355,000, EX at ¥3,564,000 (¥3,729,000 for the leather seat specification), EX･PRIME STYLE at ¥3,685,000, and EX･BLACK STYLE at ¥3,729,000.
