Honda Insight 2021

The Honda Insight is a hybrid sedan that was reintroduced by Honda in 2019 as a 2019 model year vehicle. The 2021 Honda Insight is part of the third generation of the Insight, offering a combination of fuel efficiency, advanced technology, and a comfortable driving experience. In terms of its design, the 2021 Insight features a sleek and aerodynamic profile with clean lines and a modern appearance. It offers a spacious and comfortable interior with seating for up to five passengers. The cabin showcases a refined and high-quality feel, with available features such as leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat.

The 2021 Insight is powered by a hybrid powertrain that combines a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor. This setup enables the Insight to operate in different modes, including all-electric, hybrid, or gasoline-only, depending on driving conditions. The combined power output is 151 horsepower, providing ample performance for daily driving while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency. One of the highlights of the 2021 Insight is its fuel economy. It achieves excellent gas mileage, with an EPA-estimated rating of up to 55 mpg in the city and 49 mpg on the highway, depending on trim level and driving conditions. This makes the Insight an ideal choice for drivers looking for a fuel-efficient vehicle without sacrificing style or comfort.

In terms of technology and features, the 2021 Insight comes equipped with a variety of amenities. Standard features include a touchscreen infotainment system with available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more. Higher trim levels may offer additional features such as a moonroof, a premium audio system, navigation, and advanced driver-assistance systems. Speaking of safety, the 2021 Insight is equipped with Honda Sensing, a suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies. This includes features such as collision mitigation braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and road departure mitigation, among others. These features work together to enhance safety and provide peace of mind during your journeys. Please note that the information provided here is based on the Honda Insight up until my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. For the most up-to-date and detailed information about the 2021 Honda Insight, I recommend contacting a Honda dealership or visiting the official Honda website.

Driver Attention Monitor

If it determines that the vehicle is being driven in such a manner, it will display the degree of the driver’s attention on the driver information interface.
