The Honda Insight is a compact hybrid sedan, competing against the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid, Kia Niro Hybrid, and the Toyota Corolla Hybrid and Prius. For 2022, it gets a downsized lineup.
The Insight gets its power courtesy of a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a dual-motor hybrid system, with a combined 151 horsepower. Fuel economy measures as high as 55 mpg city, 49 mpg highway, and 52 mpg combined, but some models are rated at 51 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 48 mpg combined.
This eliminates the Insight’s base LX trim, leaving just the EX and Touring versions, which carry over unchanged. The EX comes with LED exterior lights, keyless access, and start, an 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, a 180-watt audio system with eight speakers, automatic climate control, WiFi hotspot capability, and remote start. The Touring adds exterior chrome appointments, a sunroof, leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and LED fog lights.
Every Insight comes with the Honda Sensing suite of safety features, which comprises a rearview camera, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, road-departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and traffic-sign recognition. Also standard are blind-spot monitoring and automatic high-beams. The only optional feature is rain-sensing wipers, which come with the Touring trim. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the Insight good crash-safety marks, while the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) a Top Safety Pick+ award for 2021—the agency’s highest rating.
The Honda Insight represents a thrifty, comfortable and functional way to travel.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2022 Honda Insight are quite pleased with their purchase. They frequently highlight its safety features and impressive gas mileage, noting that it's comfortable for taller drivers as well. Many appreciate the build quality and quiet cabin, although some mention that the engine can be a bit noisy during hard acceleration. The primary downside noted is the requirement to purchase the higher trim for features like heated seats."
Only down side is you have to purchase the touring trim for heated seats. I currently drive a 2019 insight with 112000 mi and still averaging 50 mpg in 40 to 50 degree temperatures. Only replaced frt and rear brakes at 90k for peace of mind ,it was not necessary. My driving mix is 70 highway 30 city.
March 19, 2024We have bought a new insight and love it so far!.
July 3, 2022I bought the car for its amazing mpgs, but Im thoroughly impressed with the cars build quality and quiet cabin. The only con is that the engine does get a little noisy at harder acceleration, but with the ten speaker stereo system I never hear it.

July 4, 2022Great safety features and seems like a bit more pep than a Prius. I am 6-1 and was comfortable in it. Gas mileage is great and overall pleased with it
May 29, 2022Sorry they stopped making this car. The used ones are pretty pricey. I have a 2012 with 213,000 miles on it and it will last another 100K. Maintenance has been so minimal. change the oil service the transmission - take care of this car and youll have it for a long time.
