5 reasons to buy the 2022 Honda Insight
1. Impressive fuel economy
The headline of the 2022 Honda Insight is its EPA-estimated 52 mpg fuel economy combined with the hybrid powertrain.
Since the average car gets less than half that mileage, the Insight's fuel economy is a great reason to consider this car. Whether you're commuting, taking care of carpool pickups, or traveling on long-haul adventures with the family, get ready to save time away from the pump with the Honda Insight.2. Electric motor at the heart of the vehicle
The 2022 Honda Insight is a hybrid vehicle with a gas engine and electric motor, pumping out a combined 151 hp. With a 1.5L four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, the Insight is a thrifty addition to any driveway. And you'll love how the electric motor can power the Insight on its own—it'll kick in when driving around the city or in traffic.
3. Two well-equipped trims
For 2022, a big change to the Honda Insight is the discontinuation of the LX base trim. That means you have two unique trims to choose from—EX and Touring—and those trims are now better equipped as standard. Features include an automatic transmission, smart key, and available remote start.
Note that Honda plans to discontinue the Insight after the 2022 model year.4. Plenty of standard driver aids
The 2022 Honda Insight EX and Touring trims have a suite of driver aids, including lane departure warning, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, automated emergency braking, parking sensors, and traction control. In addition, you'll get adaptive cruise control, which automatically adjusts your speed if you're in slow-moving traffic.
5. Tech-filled Touring trim
Looking for a touch of luxury? The trim-topping 2022 Honda Insight Touring delivers a bevy of infotainment and comfort technologies. Up front, the seats are heated, and the driver's seat is eight-way power-adjustable. You'll love the leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, 10-speaker audio system, and available Wi-Fi hotspot.
Plus, you can stay connected via the standard eight-inch touchscreen center console with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and Bluetooth® capabilities.Shop with your budget in mind
