2012 Honda Insight more efficient than ever

By ,

Honda presents the updated 2012 Insight, which offers proven reliability and more efficiency than ever.

Improvements to the hybrid powertrain and aerodynamics drop fuel consumption ratings to 4.8L/100km in the city and 4.5L/100km on the highway.

The 2012 Honda Insight sports a new front grille, redesigned headlights and newly-styled alloy wheels. Inside, expect more room in the back, a new-look instrument panel, larger cup holders and a more comfortable armrest.

With these changes, the Japanese automaker hopes to give the second-generation Insight a much-needed sales boost. A mere 228 units were sold during the first nine months of 2011, which pales in comparison to the 884 units of the previous year.
