The combined power output of the hybrid powertrain stands at 151bhp. With the help instant torque from the electric motor, it can do 0 to 100kmph in around 7.7 seconds. For performing transmission duties, the new Honda Insight gets an e-CVT gearbox.
Sporting the brand’s latest design language, the new Honda Insight features a low-slung front fascia with a chrome grille and LED headlamps. The hybrid sedan shares several components with the Honda Civic. We have reported earlier that the new-generation Honda City might take its design inspiration from the new Honda Insight sedan.
