Honda scraps the Insight
01 November 2005 The £17,225 Insight was the second production hybrid launched after the Toyota Prius, and looked wildly futuristic with its partly covered rear wheels, wedgy aerodynamic shape and minimalist two-seater cabin. Combined with its lightweight aluminium construction, it made the Insight the cleanest and most economical car on sale: fuel economy averaged 83mpg while it was the only car to emit less than 100g/km of carbon dioxide, at just 80g/km. Honda will replace the Insight with the £16,000 Civic Hybrid at the start of next year. The new model is based on a more practical four-door saloon, but is still capable of 61.4mpg and its emissions stand at a lowly 109g/km. |
