| Since
its introduction in 2000, the Insight has been a beacon in hybrid leadership.
As Canada's first gas-electric hybrid, the Insight pioneered an entirely
new concept in driving and energy conservation. Coupling a 1.0-litre,
3-cylinder engine with an electric motor that provides plenty of torque
when you need it, the Insight is light-years beyond conventional cars
– it gives you an unprecedented 1250-kilometre range on a single
tank of gas. The
sporty, fun-to-drive Insight makes owning a hybrid convenient. Like
all Honda Hybrids, you never have to plug it in. When maintaining a
steady speed, the electric motor stops and the gasoline engine takes
care of moving you down the road. And as the charge indicator shows,
the electric motor automatically begins to work as a generator, recharging
the Integrated Motor Assist system (IMA) battery pack as needed. |
