- This Honda hybrid has been sneaking under the radar. If you are looking to be in the mid 20K range and get 55 MPG you have found the right car. We will go over how it compares to the next trim level up, the Touring. We will also see how it stacks up to the competition that isn't a Honda. Vehicles like the Corolla Hybrid, Elantra Hybrid, and the Toyota Prius.

I’ve owned my 2022 Honda insight EX since January 5 of 2022. All I can say is that this vehicle is absolutely amazing. My car personally gets 58-62 mpg throughout winter/summer so I actually get more than what’s advertised. The little negative and positive shifters that are on the steering wheel or actually to calibrate the amount of regenerative braking which are temporary unless put into sport mode. Overall really good comparison and review.
This car looks really good!!! Better front than civic, better rear than accord. Really nice interior.
A well-made vid. Liked those camera angels and editing at the beginning too. I was torn between the Insight Touring and the Accord Hybrid EXL recently. Ultimately decided on the Insight Touring. Would like to see more vids feature driving conditions (e.g., road noise, sound, suspension/smoothness). Keep it going! Cheers-
Great job! I came to this video not know much about the insight and you really hit every point! Not only did you hit on everything you explained every aspect so well! Thank you!
Most in-depth video I’ve seen going over the tech and all that. Thank you so much!
Hey Justin great work with the comparison charts up top with other vehicles helps alot... one thing I would also like to see is the resale value and average maintaince cost or overall usage cost.. thanks
I think you covered it all. Great value for sure. I was surprised by the horsepower number, not bad at all.
Great job Justin, thanks for answering my texts. Keep up the excellent work!
Good review with comparisons 👍
Appreciated how thorough this video was. Thank you so much!
Question: Do the back seats fold down flat? I couldn't tell if the seatbelts stopped them or that was as low as the seats go.
I like your Videos. Can You do a Side by Side Video Comparison between the Insight EX vs the Touring?
Love your energy and car knowledge! Keep the videos coming!
Neatly done brother ! Well discretized points. Keep it up.
Went to Howdy today to look at this car today. Thanks for the explanations!
Great video, thank you for your energy and hard work. Very thorough and not boring at all. I would buy a car from you. You covered this well, except one thing about the transmission. It has an E-cvt, which is a direct drive electric motor. There is no push belt cvt transmission at all. The i-VTEC gas engine only drives a generator, with a direct-drive overdrive gear for highway cruising. This is very cool technology, so I bought one last month. It is hard to find info on it, but It's awesome! Thanks again for a great video.
WeberAuto has a tear down of the eCVT and explains how it works.
Great vid, I preordered mine yesterday ex model
Wow!! Amazing review!! Thank you so much for this. We just reserved one for purchase and we wanted to see what they look like but there are none in stock. You really gave a thorough review! Only criticism I would make is I wish you actually turned on the car so we can hear it or give a review of the feel of the drive. Otherwise, 10/10
Also thinking of getting one. Did you buy it yet? How do you like it
Love the comparisons section :)
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
best review i’ve ever heard.
Dear Honda,
Give us the pockets!!!!!
P.S. Give this guy an award or money for this excellent video that helped me decide on this car.
Thank you!!!
Best review of the Insight I’ve seen so far. 9/10. Really wish you had taken a brief test drive and commented on road noise, handling, braking etc. But otherwise well done.
I appreciate your video. Thank you. You do talk very fast.
Nice review bro . Excellent job 👍
Thanks for watching!
Very informative! 👍
Thanks for pointing out the Breakaway mirrors. I have my eye on this vehicle. Especially after just being given a 2015 Prius that has less than 60k mileage. Touring model all the way
This guy is fabulous! very energetic. Love it
I agree... He is great! 😁👍🏼
Very informative
Great information... 👍
great video thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Nice! I want one!!!🙌
Excellent video. Thank you!
(Deserves more views tbh. I summon the algorithm gods to boost thee!)
I bought a new 22 insight today. After my test drive , paperwork etc , I drove off the lot. After driving 5 miles, all of the lights on the dash came on and it went into limp mode, so I limped back to the dealer. When I arrived , I pulled into the service bay, you could smell something burning. They did a quick computer scan and could not tell me what was wrong with the car, but they said it was something serious. I was baffled , I have never had anything like this happen. The dealership was great though, without question , they redid all of my paperwork and put me in the only other new insight they had, exact same car but different Color. Not a very good start with the car, but I’m hoping it was a fluke.
I only trust Toyotas hybrid.
@@Masterahsoka we have a Camry hybrid and I looked at the Corolla hybrid. I felt like the insight gave you more for your money and was larger, Toyota makes great cars, I agree, but Honda makes great cars too and they have been making the insight for over 20 years.
I have a 2020 honda insight ex and now has 153,000 miles and haven't had a single issue. You probably got a bad one
@@mayurelacachucha yeah, I think I did. I love the one I got!
I scored a brand new 2020 Insight EX for less than a brand new LX in March cause it was considered a year old already, & the only difference is lane watch & cross traffic warning system.
They have CRV Special Edition’s at my local dealership,they seem to have the extra options I’m interested in.What do you know about them?
The 1.5L *engine* can put out only 107 HP. But that number isn't important, because in any situation where power is a concern, the engine is not connected to the wheels. It is the Hybrid *system* that puts out 151.5 HP.
This car does not have a CVT, it has *no* transmission at all. The 107 HP engine drives a generator, the electric power that is generated is adjusted using the battery (either decreased by charging, or increased by discharging). That electric power has a maximum of 151.5 HP. Up to 85% of it can be sent a 129 HP electric motor, with 15% reserved for other peripherals in the car. (This is a common convention; that 121 HP Prius probably can only send 103 HP to the wheels.)
Honda calls this an eCVT, not a CVT. Depending on who you talk to, that stands for "electronic" CVT (marketing) or "electrically-coupled" CVT (engineering). A better name would be "virtual" CVT, or vCVT.
(It can directly couple the engine to the wheels using an overdrive gear. The engine will never generate more than about 30 to 35 HP in this mode.)
+++++
The paddle shifters don't affect propulsion; the best analogy is to engine braking in a conventional car. They change how much regen braking you get when you are not pressing either the gas or the brake pedal. When you do use the brake pedal, the car will optimize regen braking.
I have averaged 45 mpg overall with my Insight EX. But I do a lot of highway driving. Overall I’m happy with the vehicle. The negatives are it doesn’t have enough road clearance. I’ve scraped the bottom of my front bumper on higher curbs on more than one occasion and it’s quite low to get into. The gas engine is loud especially when accelerating. Has more road noise then I would like. Would I buy another one? Probably not
You are a fantastic and charismatic presenter! I see you having your own tv show reviewing cars.
How? He's just loud
I appreciate the hate Matt...
Much appreciated! 😁👍🏻
With the ex you also get the heated mirrors
Great energy
Thanks for watching!
You're wrong about the paddles on the steering wheel. They don't up shift or down shift the car. You have only one gear in this car. So there is nothing to up shift or down shift to. All they do is help you use you regenerative breaks more accurately. Read your manual. They are not paddle shifters lol. They help Me get to that sweet 55 mpg. I once got this car to 58 mpg. I get over 500 miles every tank. You gotta use the car correctly.
Is the car as low as a ride as the Civic? Don’t want something that is difficult to get into
No seat heater?
Gas is $2.90 where I live, fill up for $25 uwu, definitely glad I got Insight than Civic
Try $4.90 in Cali, i think I am glad I got an Insight as well...
True but the civic isn’t too bad I got 40 mpg for a hour and a half drive goinf up about 1000ft in elevation
Average gas in LA 5.80 now but I’m thinking for 150 to 200 miles extra for the insight it’s only 35 dollars extra not that much of a difference from a regular civic.I was getting 415 miles on a full tank on a 2017 ex t civic.Has me thinking I rather choose the ex t.Handles better,dual climate,heated seats and moonroof.
It is not running in a CVT transmission.
Nice vid ,good energy. Burn the nike shirt.
Thanks for watching! Send me a new one then...
I just put a deposit on one! Fuel prices drove me to buy a hybrid!
I have insight 2021 And i Get 77 MPG In the City
I have a white 2021 EX and I love it. Getting over 50mpg although people who consistently travel at 70mpg or higher will be disappointed in the mpg. I got a complete spare tire kit from Modern Spare because I agree the fix-a-flat sucks.
You must drive very slow. I only get 48 city and I don’t drive fast.
HD radio?
Yes, the ex has one
Some things that Honda does just don't make sense to me. Why does this car have a 160 MPH speedometer in it? If it was marked out to 100 MPH it would be much easier to read.
Why does it have paddle shifters? The computer will operate the transmission perfectly. Paddle shifters are a tool for teenagers to destroy the transmission. Every car should have navigation, not just the top trim level.
The paddles are for adding/lessening the resistance for the regenerative braking system
@@rcg38 Thank you. I didn't know that.
To get 55MPG, you must drive REALLY REALLY slow, lol. I don’t drive fast and I average 48 city.
My experience is with the EPA-rated 47 mpg 2018 Accord Hybrid. I don't drive slow, and over nearly 3 years driving my average is 48.5 mpg. All you have to do is (1) not drive like a teenager, constantly accelerating and decelerating, (2) not race up to stop lights, but let the regen brakes get as much as they can, and (3) avoid short trips as much as possible.
@@jeffjo8732 pretty sure you drive like a grandpa… I don’t do any of the things you’ve mentioned and still average 46 MPG as I just checked few mins ago.
My prius does 60-85mpg in the city
Dude talks faster than I can listen.
No more Honda Insight in 2023....🤔🤔
your eyes are prettier than the car
DO NOT BUY THIS FUCKING LEMON!!!!!
I purchased the 2022 Insight Touring package three weeks ago. I purchased it for a daily driver and for road trips around Oregon, specifically to Mt Hood where my family has a tiny ski cabin.
With guests in the vehicle, it is unable to achieve and maintain highway speeds without the engine redlining with any more than one person in the car. It can barely make it up the 2-3% graded area, and I was terrified to try the 6% graded area. It felt INCREDIBLY unsafe and underpowered. My brother and I both thought something was slipping. The engine revs dramatically and almost no power is sent to the wheels.
I have no idea how I can use it to carpool. If you know the Portland area, it struggles to get up the west hills of through the tunnel up to Skyline on the way to Beaverton with just me (155 lbs). If I had two people or more in the car, I would feel horribly unsafe.
I took it to the shop and they said it was working as designed. This is completely unacceptable!
If you live in a completely flat area or only drive on city streets, yeah it will probably be fine. If you have any hills whatsoever, you are fucked.
Get a v6, the car isnt designed for it.
This comment is more informative than any of these videos. Thanks
I glad to see this review.
My Elantra N line turbo gets 42mpg highway, 30s in city.
