Honda has confirmed that it is discontinuing the Insight hybrid and will instead focus on the Civic Hybrid. Insight has been on the market for about two years. However, it has yet to become as popular as Honda had hoped. On the other hand, the Civic Hybrid has been a big seller for the company. Honda is also discontinuing the CR-Z hybrid. Insight was introduced in Japan in 1999 and in the United States in 2000. It was the first hybrid available for sale in the United States.
The Honda Insight was a 3-door hatchback with a gasoline engine and a 10-kilowatt electric motor. Insight was discontinued in 2006.
The Honda Insight was reintroduced in 2009 as a 2010 model. The 2010 Honda Insight was a 5-door hatchback with a 1.3-liter gasoline engine and a 13-kilowatt electric motor. The Honda Insight was discontinued in 2014.
The Honda Civic Hybrid was introduced in the United States in 2001. The Honda Civic Hybrid is a sedan with a 1.3-liter gasoline engine and a 13-kilowatt electric motor. The Honda Civic Hybrid is still in production.
Why Honda Discontinued the Insight
We just received the news that Honda had decided to discontinue production of the Insight hybrid sedan in June. However, the automaker also announced that it would produce hybrid variants of the 2023 Accord mid-size sedan and 2023 CR-V compact crossover this year. It is sure to disappoint many Honda fans.
The third-generation Insight was relaunched in 2018 with a more streamlined body. The new Insight had sales of about 18,000 units a year. However, sales flagged in 2022 during the first quarter during a rise in electric and plug-in hybrid models. It was one of the more efficient models on the market that didn't have a plug.
The 2022 Honda Insight's EPA rating is 55 mpg city, 49 highway, and 52 combined. That's the best of any gasoline-only car on the market. The Insight also has a lower price than the Toyota Prius, which means you can save money on your next car purchase.
