2019 Honda Insight Touring - 55 MPG Never Looked So Good

- Honda's pure hybrid offering hasn't had the best luck with American shoppers. Although they were first to market a mass production hybrid in the states, the first and second generation Insight never really won over eco minded buyers. For 2019, Honda is trying a third time with a new premium sedan with styling that will offend very little consumers and the promise of up to 55 MPG. The 2019 Insight is also more powerful then its competition, but only time will tell if American shoppers will ditch their crossover for very stylish new hybrid sedan. It goes on sale on June 29th, 2018.

Just came to see if all 4 windows are automatic up and down
Haha
Riceman you cracked me up😂😂
He does always mention the Windows 😂😂😂😂
Riceman I watch your videos
Yeah but I only came here to see if the glove box is damped and lined with felt.

I’m getting 56 mpg on the regular with my 2019 insight Touring. I’m so impressed. As an Uber/Lyft driver during these challenging gas prices, this is awesome!
You must got a lucky car or factory freak ...sadly I'm getting 39mpg with a light foot
@@hemiplow1297I drive a 2022 lx and get 65 mpg when it’s not hot out and I don’t have to run the ac otherwise I’ll get anywhere from 50mpg (100f+ summer) - 59mpg
Glory to God that's a blessing I pray to Jesus Christ for God to help each and every one of you know that there's hope God help you with your bills God help you to overcome any addictions or depression God help you physically and mentally Hallelujah Jesus loves you
The car will say 55 but if you calculate yourself the gas mpg is much lower. Mine always read 43.5 or so on older insight but its real numbers are only 39 or 40mpg on a good day.
@@bruceyung70 no for me it’s very accurate I hand calculate at the pump every time and regularly see mpgs in the low 60s
Best looking hybrid.
Es 300h / Avalon.
the best looking hybrid sedan*
Q50 Sport Hybrid.
*best hybrid that gets over 40mpg
Best looking "low price" hybrid.
The Prius just got nervous.
jmasoncar s Agreed , the design definitely looks more cleaner and sophisticated than the regular prius.
jmasoncar s, I agree. The Insight is definitely changing the standards in the hybrid segment.
jmasoncar s BIG FACTS.
Prius premier looks like an alien’s car.
we'll see if the reliabillity matches the prius
We just bought a 2019 Honda Insight Touring, a few months ago. We love it, average around 48 MPG, drives great, plenty of power... Home run Honda!
Sweet!
@Stereo Typist We don't drive it everyday, it is the wife's baby. We love it, wish I could get me one to drive also. We get 50 MPG and in some cases get around 55. It is comfortable and spacious on the inside and has a good ride, no regrets and we bought ours used, saved money since it was a year old and used. That way we could get the touring model. Good luck!
@@johnmccormick3079 how pricey are repairs? and what shops know how to repair these?
@@daveheel So far we have not had to have any repairs, it runs great, 50+ MPG and so comfortable. The adaptive cruise control did act up once and we took it to a dealer in Newnan and they adjusted the camera for it, no charge...
@@daveheel its based on the civic platform so any reputable honda mechanic should be ok
This is how the Accord should’ve looked like!!!...
Proper Gods that moment when the insight look better than the accord ... never tought I'd see that day
Proper Gods Hate to admit it as an Accord owner but the rear shoulda looked more like this, I agree. Still love my 6MT 😆
isma joseph yup!
IneedSchool 🤣🤣🤣
Hyogo Marume is it fun to drive?
I definitely like this design. They essentially took the Civic sedan and substantially "toned down" the front end and rear end design to create an actually _nice_ looking car.
Have you seen the new 11th gen civics now?

Tap the hard plastics.....check. Mash the throttle in a Hybrid.....check.
@@RLTtizME Redline Reviews only. Smash anyone else by far... unless you're an idiot who needs to be talked to slowly.
I see no reason to take the Prius over this.
Wow when a hybrid looks better than the rest of the car lineup lmao. I hope the 2019 Civic gets styling cues off of this new Insight & the Accord gets an early refresh (again getting styling cues off of the Insight )
Me: I don't know why Sofyan goes through all these silly details in every review
Also Me: So I was at the car dealership and told the sales guy there is NO WAY I'm paying $40k for a car that has hard touched plastics and a fix-a-flat kit!
Keith Battle glad we could help! ;)
Did the door at least sound solid when you shut it? :-D
Yup when I look for new cars, I look for a damped gloved box that is lined with felt lol.
Where do you get $40,000.00?? Gets the wax out of your ears pal. It’s under $30K!! Since when are details silly? One small detail,. The interest on the loan is 75%!! How’s that for silly. You’re a moron.
It DOES have blind spot monitoring on the right side mirror! He must not have explained it well enough.
This review was very *insight* full.
🤣🤣 I saw what you did there
This is what the civic should’ve looked like.
Dennis Vasquez no.
Well maybe the 2019 Civic will take design cues off of this Insight. Let's hope lol
Baasil F. Dude the rear end of this looks like a Chrysler 200. At least the current civic stands out. At night you can tell it's a civic from a mile away. This just looks like anything else on the road.
A Chrysler 200? I don't see it... I see like a BMW shaped tail light with like a 2014 Audi A3 LED design in the tail light. You're right about the Civic, but the tail lights in broad daylight just look mehh & so does the new Accord
Fadi The new civics are hidious, front looks almost identical to Accord can't tell them apart.. The back has those ugly lights that go on top of the trunk and yes you could spot it from mile away.
Thank goodness they decided to create their own thing, it almost looks like the all new accord, fantastic review, Sofyan! You inspire me everyday!
For Enthusiasts Reviews In initial photos, I saw hints of Infiniti and BMW in the rear. Not so much in this video, though I see hints of Audi.
Equivalent MPG, but better interior and Honda driving dynamics?
I simply don't see a reason why the Prius should continue to be praised and purchased besides people who buy off the badge
Well, the new prius with the TNGA platform actually has decent driving dynamincs. It's still slow and looks ugly though.
I’m not sure where you see a better interior... unless you’re talking about design, which is subjective. What I saw was a car that used lots of plastic and was extremely loud over expansion joints. In my opinion the Prius Prime is still a better vehicle, looks cooler too.
Overall if you need a Hybrid, the Camry Hybrid is better than both of these cars. But the Chevy Volt still takes my vote as top Hybrid. Or just get the Bolt over all these cars.
masterwhopper414 this interior is not attractive. The screen comes from the pilot in 2016. The leather is fake, that's why if you want leather you only pay 200.
...no
If most of your driving is in-town, the Volt is still the best option. The Insight and standard Prius still have to kick on their gas engines with regular driving, which means driving it costs more. The only downside to the Volt is that it costs a little more, about $25k after Federal rebate (Some states have ~$2k rebates as well), versus the $23-24k for the Prius and Insight.
Oh man that's a beautiful car
My insight just got rear ended🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ i loved this car so much. Had it only a year. Totalled.
This is the perfect sedan:
Size from the civic
Elegance from the accord
5:35 I can't
This car needs to swipe designs with the new gen Civic. This one has a luxury feel to it. The current gen Civic design fits better for a hybrid car, especially the bulky rear design.
Energetic Fox Studios accord should’ve got this why kill the coupe 9gen was the best
He floors it at 12:50
That’s mostly why we come to these videos
And it sounds terrible
@@mithradadbehbehani5392 It feels terrible too. It's stupid fast for a hybrid though. I drove a family member's for a few days and absolutely loved it. Going fast wasn't all too great but there was a certain appeal to how much of a sleeper it was.
Ant S it feels horrible?
@@mithradadbehbehani5392 it’s a hybrid fuel economy over performance
Wow! I really like the look of this new current generation Insight! I honestly think this looks more premium and sophisticated than the Civic and possibly even the Accord from some angles. I'm surprised Honda didn't call this vehicle the Civic Hybrid (especially considering all of the design cues it shares with the Civic).
Nevertheless, in terms of its competitors, the Insight seems like the one to beat. After reviewing the Ioniq HEV recently, I have to say this vehicle seems like it can give that vehicle a pretty good run for its money. As always, from one car reviewer to another, keep up the great work!
This is how the accord should have looked
Now THAT is a good looking hybrid! As it should be. It is missing a few options that would really be nice, like memory seats which really comes in handy when my short wife and I switch around in our Accord. I never use the lumbar, so that wouldn't be missed. Toyota should be concerned as this car will poach a lot of their sales. Actually, Honda should be a bit concerned as this will rob sales from the Accord as this a better looking car too.
I love mine! And yes memory seats would be handy! Otherwise I think it's great!
No spare tire
window shades would be amazing as well
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.
Just got 2021 touring. Now with blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert. So enjoyable to drive. Awesome looks, ample power, great gas milaege. Loads of techs as standard. 👍👍
Taking delivery Tuesday! (28 May 2019) White Pearl Touring.
Thanks for the review.
I tested the Ionic, and the next day the Insight.
If you think this car is comparable to the Ionic, this is a whole other level of class. Even though they are similarly priced, this feels and looks Acura like. The Ionic is much more Kia than Hyundai, do you see the relationship?
How much you paid ?
@@sudhirraom 27200
Even though the design is a blend of accord and civic , I find it to be pretty handsome
Wow, that engine is really noisy and makes a bad whining sound. I guess this car isn't for me. Maybe most people won't notice.
If you drive it like it's a hybrid it doesn't make much noise. It only gets loud when giving it the beans.
The accord wishes it looked this good
Dalton Smith I liked how the 16-17 Accord Sport looked, I dont really dig the new design so much.
And yet it's still north American cat of the year.
Mauricio Winston meow 😉
Well, I think it looks almost identical to the Accord in the front. The back on the other hand... SMH. I own a 2018 Accord and even I'll still admit the insight rear looks better. Outside of aesthetics, the Accord is a lot more car than this though. Larger with many more add-ons/options.
my husband and I both drive the 2019 insight. He's got the EX I have the Touring. We both are very happy with our purchases. Mileage is great and the ride is very good. I love the backup camera!
I still can't get over how GOOD this car looks! I am catching a bit of Audi, BMW, and Mazda in the rear end. They should really make an all electric version of this car!
kyle shult it looks like a Chrysler 200 in the rear dude.
Fadi this car looks nothing like a Chrysler 200 what?
Dominik W the rear end.............
Fadi Um...what? I just googled it and I don’t see any similarities. 🤨
I thought it’s rear looked like a Chrysler 200
I love the way he starts these videos. Music and everything is always good
This car looks great
The insight looks better than the new civic
Honda hit a Grand Slam with the new Insight! Love the new design. Hope it sells well for them.
Those rims need some black.
Clarity anyone? I guess this is an easier design to swallow.
Why is this better looking than a civic? I mean gosh the tail lights actually look good!
wish this is what the accord looked like.
I jumped into this car using Uber and thought it was an Accord. Very comfortable and surprisingly elegant and refined. Would definitely consider this car as my next purchase
Great looking car this new Insight. Sorry Toyota, but I would take this over the Prius.
Getting the 2021 model, now comes with blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alert. 👍👍
Barring the turn signals in the back , love the design . Love how the front is more rounded off than the accord which has a sharper boxier front end
Finally a hybrid that doesn’t look ugly as hell
I'm glad you mention concrete roads. On your future videos, could you do comparison of road noise? Concrete vs asphalt on each car? That will be very helpful.
Double JJ agreed
CruiseDude Interstate5.0. Tar strips are very annoying.
ThIS iS HoW tHe AcCoRd ShOuLdVe LoOkEd... Hell nah!!... Still a nice looking car tho
Finally a good looking hybrid for the masses
If I had to buy a hybrid, this would be it
2019 insight or 2019 ioniq? Gonna be a good matchup.
Should be badged as the Civic Hybrid. Would sell way more then
I bought one a few weeks ago and watched this review before I did. The 2019 EX which I've driven for a few weeks is a fun car to drive and I get the advertised mpg. I live in a mountainous region of east Tennessee and when driving up the mountain roads the car is loud and you can hear and feel the engine screaming to maintain the speed limit but it still gets 51 miles to the gallon which is unbelievable. A few friends and family members have checked out the car and everyone is surprised when I tell them it's a hybrid and I get 50+ on the highway and 55+ in town. I'm hoping to see new innovation added to the Insight in the future with a better battery and more power and better efficiency. A plug-in hybrid Insight that got 75 miles per charge in EV mode would be the perfect Honda Insight.
Hi, it’s good to hear that Mountainous driving isn’t bad. Can I hear your thoughts on driving with four people on the car? Does it feel bad?
My big brother just showed me this car yesterday. He knows that I am interested in a hybrid car but I don’t like how hatchbacks look (not sure why, but to me they look like “female” cars). The Honda Insight is literally the best looking Hybrid car I have ever seen. It almost looks like a luxury car. It’s definitely at the top of my list now. If you want other good-looking options for a hybrid vehicle, I suggest looking into the Kia Niro (it’s a crossover vehicle) and the Hyundai Ioniq (another hatchback but they recently updated the design so it looks more like a regular sedan). But this Honda Insight definitely takes the cake for me as far as looks and design goes.
I have a few friends who have been waiting for this to show up on dealership lots. I have a feeling this might sell well.
Why on Earth do you need a 160 mph in a hybrid?? This kills me like when I see it on trucks. Give me a more accurate gauge instead of one that looks sporty even though the vehicle has no chance in hell of achieving that speed!
I'm just gonna hang out in the comments section and wait for all the Toyota fanboys to come along with their pitchforks and torches... 😃
jasetraber I'm a self proclaimed Toyota fanboy. This thing is epic. The Prius is an embarrassment in comparison. Case closed.
Toyota Prius hahah sorry my boy it ain't nothing personal.
Mohd A. Lol
We gonna talk about that terrible door closing noise at 9:40?
I've been waiting for a good looking hybrid like this. The Prius is so odd looking to me. Plus I love Honda's so this is perfect!
Talk about a upgrade! It's better than the Prius on looks alone!
Don't break the shifter! Can regen be turned off completely with the paddle shifters? That is one feature I wish the Prius had since it's more efficient to coast with no regen at all. I have to say, I'm disappointed Honda doesn't offer a plug-in version.
I'm also a little disappointed they didn't make it a lift-back, but I very much like the styling of this car. I think it's the most attractive Honda right now and more to my taste than the Prius.
You mention wind noise, it would be disappointing if the Insight isn't significantly quieter than the Prius and Ioniq since you are giving up the practicality of the hatch.
I have one of these on order! Unfortunately, there is no ETA, at this point.
It looks so good! But those spiral wheels 🤮
@KARLOZ LOPEZ That wasn't necessary there buddy.
KARLOZ LOPEZ they look like shit, fuckboi.
I love mine! And yeah not a fan of the wheels! Looks like a cop car with my winters and steel rims ;)
No left blind spot monitoring solution. AVOID before you crashed into someone!! Unacceptable for a 2019 car.
Available on 2021 models which we'll start seeing after covid dies down.
I love that this looks like a conventional car!
Phenomenal Review I was looking for a hybrid sedan with more room than a Prius! Thank you Honda! And I’m a hardcore Toyota supporter lol
The back kinda looks like a BMW. Anyone else?
Frank Leone no, audi a3
Mazda
Audi A4 100%
Camera is so much better for the blindspot because if it doesn't work, you know.
Lol, and people will still say the Prius is better than this...#NOT
D.J.'s Car Reviews I mean the Prius has more features....
prius looks uglier and more ufo, therefor tree huggers will buy the prius lol
the prius prime is better
Robert Osborne prius prime is a different class of vehicle, this is a traditional hybrid, while the prime is a plug in hybrid
Toyota Prius lost*
LOL, Toyota should give up on their Prius line up, they should focus more on the Camry and possibly create a electric corrolla/camry car
Personally wish it was a lift back so we could get more cargo room.
And having worked at a Honda dealership for eight years before retirement I know how they sell. Spoke with the GM about a month ago. They can't give them away. They only take what they're forced to from Honda. They really want nothing to do with them.
I just bought a used 2020 touring model from a honda dealership. They gave me a great deal with almost no haggling. I got exactly the deal I wanted. I was thinking they really wanted to sell the car because it was so easy. Either way I think they'll sell more now that gas is going up. Of not oh well. I enjoy mine.
This should've been the Civic.
that's what the ass of the Accord should of look like it's basically an accord with the rear lights not looking stupid
I hope thy make it in a manual like the original insight
I wish, but it'll never happen
Saw one of these on the road and was blown away, best looking Honda imo. Wouldnt mind driving one of these
saw one of these on the road and thought, "damn, is that the 2020 accord of something?"
definitely some nice looks from honda 👍
"Nice and Solid ", when the door closes, Redline Review staple
My body is ready.
B HM Yesss
The blind spot monitoring is really a gimmick. It can be solved by TURNING YOUR HEAD. I can't stress enough the need to actually check your blind spots and mirrors while driving. I've been at the honda dealership where a guy was buying a touring trim model and legit asked to the guy to turn off all the radar, lane keeping, cameras even the reverse camera because he found it all distracting. There legit was this pause before the dealer asked him why he wanted a touring trim at all.
Oh no! It's not a hatchback anymore :(
A full EV version of this car with about 200 miles of range would be nice.
Two things, the prius gets over 60mpg and you can drive for extended periods in electric mode......meaning you are using no gas. While the new insight is indeed better looking, the. Prius has a proven record of extreme reliability. I am a uber driver and ive never had single problem. Not a. Fanboy just a realist. By the way. This review doesnt even talk about driving this vehicle in the gas saving electric mode.....a glari ng omission
mike forte this car also has 30 more hp, almost 100 more torque than the prius, gets 10+ more mpg than their last generation, while having a starter price less than the prius. There's a compromise, so the competition doesn't have to be "which ones better", because they have their differences.
We will let the buying public decide which hybrid. Best suits their needs.......thus far the prius has won.
That really doesn't make any sense and its not very constructive, but whatever
Thus far the Prius has won because this new platform just came out lol. Literally months ago.
You can't even begin to compare statistics.
I was in a Camry hybrid taxi last year in NZ and noticed that it was in petrol mode only. Driver said the electronics had failed not long after purchase and parts were coming from Japan. So breakdowns do happen.
I don't know what Honda's market research is showing them. At a time where large sedan sales are falling off a cliff Honda releases the Clarity and the new Insight. If the Accord is failing why would anyone think these will succeed?
This looks 10x better 😂
LOL accord is definitely not failing. I see one every 5 minutes. It's the best full size sedan you can buy, and people seem to notice that.
Aggregate sales figures disagree with your anecdote. Whether or not its a good car is totally irrelevant to my comment.
Doctor Ferdinand your whole comment falls apart if you look at car sales lol look at the top 10 selling cars of 2017....., yet you use car sales as evidence against his argument. I think you're rather confused
It's a shame you strive so vainly to interpret such simple data. First, the data you picked doesn't actually prove the point you seem to think it does since the car in question is a 2018 MY and didn't go on sale until late Q4. 2018 Accord sales are down ~15% from this point in 2017 and it's ceded nearly 12% of market share to the competition, namely the Camry.
The news is bad for most large sedans, but it's especially bad for the Accord and this should raise some eyebrows for those of us watching Honda bet so much on a diminishing market segment.
I’m only averaging 41 mpg.. I don’t even drive reckless and have Econ mode on all the time. I don’t use A/C much either..
The design and driving dynamics of this Insight blows the Prius out of the water. Finally, an attractive design for an efficient car. Definitely worth getting.
A panoramic sunroof would complete this car, then it would be close to perfection.
Phillip Oliver that’s true, but it add weight which will drop the MPG so they won’t really do that for better fuel economy
The push button transmission is a no go for me but everything Honda killed it especially the design. Shows you don't need ugly or odd looking design for maximum efficiency.
Double JJ you do realize push button start is going to be standard in the next couple years. If your argument is that it’s not reliable, it’s not really valid as most cars have a slot in the car where the fob can be inserted or have a spot where you can touch the fob to which the car can sense.
David Esposito I really don't see any benefit of it. That's my issue. Yeah it open some space but it's not a huge difference. It's more of a style cue than convenience IMHO. I just prefer a shifter anyday.
Double JJ . Seems like david talking about something different
Bert Bert Probably. I will say Honda's push button is better than FCA's shifter, Mercedes and even Lincoln's layout.
I definitely see the validity in your comment. If you were to accidentally spill something sticky on those transmission shift selector buttons then it might cause some issues. While I do like the clean look the buttons give I don't think a gear selector knob impedes so much into that space for Honda to have removed it entirely. Maybe someone should make a type of plastic protective cover similar to screen protectors on smartphones.
@redlinereviews im deciding between this and the hyundai ionic plug in. what do you guys think?
No excuse for upcoming Prius buyers.
That sport mode sound literally sounds like a leaf blower! 😂
Can't this just be an Accord. The way the tail lights looks on the back, looks way better then the Accord
Wish it was a HATCHBACK HONDA HELOOOOOO I would have bought one if it was a hatchback
Maxima Taillights🤦♂️
KGL Nero I dont see it
CP100 same if they take off the turn signals
i see it
lol no
Finally a solid good looking compact hybrid, and would be a perfect commuter daily driver car. I hate paddle shifters, the Re-gen should be done automatically, as with sport mode automatics on other cars...nobody uses them, nor does anyone use the dual climate control, which is on every model made now. Plus the multi person memory position for the seat. But as you will see, this Insight is one of his top picks for the year.
Car looks ok but rims are ugly af Honda use to make better rims. Plus it's kinda on the slow side. Don't want a sedan if I can't get over 200 hp
You clearly miss the point of a HYBRID!! Because you sure as hell don’t buy one to go fast.
But yes, rims are very ugly.
Has 212hp, and a lot of torque. I love mine! Plus I can drive it almost exclusively on electric until I leave the city!
One of the best looking Hondas. That chrome on the front needs to go, though.
Hey Sofyan when are you going to review the 2018 STI?
First Gear stfu
If they have the phone charger included, it's a screening buy.
Honda 4ever!
Tommy Duong fob forever too?
