2006 Honda Insight

2006 Honda Insight Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2006 Honda Insight

Honda's first -- and smallest -- gas/electric hybrid vehicle is the nation's fuel-economy leader. It remains unchanged for 2006. A 73-hp engine teams with an electric motor/generator to deliver barely acceptable acceleration. It seats only two passengers and can't hold much cargo. Though sleek-looking, the Insight can ride a little rough. It's the least-expensive hybrid on the road.
