For shoppers that want something a little more stylish than the regular mainstream hybrid sedan cars, Honda offers something that will definitely excite them. Borrowing cues from the gas-powered Civic, Honda gave the Insight a sleekier exterior styling, thoughtful interior design, and exceptionally smooth ride to make it an excellent option in the compact mainstream hybrid cars segment.
Smaller than many hybrid cars in its class, the Insight is a compact car that not only delivers outstanding fuel economy estimates typical of hybrids but adds the conventional sedans’ robust powertrain, engaging dynamics, handsome cabin, and user-friendly infotainment system. This Honda looks every bit like any other small sedan and offers as many features as one can get from other small sedans—at a competitive bargain.
And for the 2022 model year, Honda has dropped the LX, which was the base trim, leaving the 2022 Insight lineup with only EX and Touring models. Despite not coming with any notable changes, the 2022 Honda Insight sedan lease deal still has a solid appeal to shoppers looking to lease a sedan with sharp handling, refined ride, and impressive fuel economy estimates.
Engine And Performance
Honda equips all 2022 Insight with a sole powertrain—a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an AC electric motor to generate 151 horsepower and 197 lb-ft torque. This engine pairs to a continuous variable transmission (CVT). The AC electric motor supplies the torque that gives the Insight swift acceleration.
The 2022 Insight sedan delivers a creamy ride, thanks to its suspension that does a fine job suppressing dips and dumps in the road. Its steering is firm and communicative, just as its brakes deliver decent stopping powers. Steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters can be applied to adjust its regenerative braking system.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy numbers vary from trim to trim. The 2022 Insight EX returns an EPA-estimated 55 mpg in the city and 49 mpg on the highway, while the Insight Touring earns 51 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. The fuel economy numbers of the 2022 Insight with the EX models are one of the best in the mainstream hybrid cars.
Interior
Honda gives the 2022 Insight a well-built and thoughtfully designed interior with soft-touch surfaces, top-notch materials, and plastics. Its infotainment system features a responsive 8-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, amongst other connectivity. And while the EX models boast a long list of impressive convenience features like proximity keyless entry, push-button start, remote start, and automatic climate control, Honda equips the Touring models with more standard features, including dual-zone automatic climate control, moonroof, and leather-trimmed seats with heating and power adjustments upfront.
This compact sedan accommodates five people. Both the front and rear seats are comfortable and supportive. However, the front seats provide more head and legroom space.
