- Traditionally hybrid cars are odd looking, but the 2019 Honda Insight not only looks like a normal sedan, it's more attractive than a normal sedan. With Civic proportions and some Accord styling, the Insight's distinct character sets it apart from the other oddball hybrids visually. Now, let's see how the rest of it stacks up.

Best looking hybrid so far. Will never understand what was in Toyota's designers mind when they built the Prius.
王作剛 One word : Aerodynamics
So everybody could see you're wearing a hair shirt, signalling your virtue. Also, aero.
王作剛 Toyota Camry hybrid is more stylish. yes Prius is ugly. haha
Isn't it obvious? The Aztec!
Max W but the thing is, Camry isn't only sold as a Hybrid, so it doesn't count.
thank you Honda for making a beautiful hybrid sedan!!!
@ZACHARY KING It's meant to be a premium Civic and a Pruis competitor, what did you expect?
I got my 2019 Insight Touring for 24k out the door.
toyota has almost every car in their line as a hybrid
Would take it any day over a Prius.
Kentaro Honjo This proves we don't need Toyotas hideous Prius styling.
It’s also cheaper than a Prius..
Of course. The Insight is the hybrid for douchebags.
John Lenin wtf lol
A huge downside of the current Prius--which is otherwise actually a pretty good car--is the weird styling of the body. Toyota should have just updated the previous model's reasonably good design instead.
I just bought an insight. Crazy torque and pull off the line. Prius killer !!!!
So, to put it in a nutshell, insight is just a hybrid civic....... Smart of u, Honda!!
they probably wanted to pay homage to the Insight name, since it was the first hybrid sold in the US
This car over the Prius... Any day!!!
Any car over the Prius
I don't hate Prius.... Looks can be subjective but it's extremely reliable and gives great fuel economy....
A. Ayush I'd even take a tuk tuk over a Prius. lol
Prius isn't *that* bad.... !
Saad Qureshi 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
It has far better tail lights than the new Accord too, now if Honda decided to wake up and give us an Accord Type R, I would be one seriously happy dad!
Tried 2.0T Sport in Sport mode?
The new accord is ridiculously ugly. They should have made it look more like the insight
Looks better than the Prius , gets better gas mileage than the Prius
I think this is the hybrid you can actually buy without looking like a ...
When a hybrid looks better than the rest of the car lineup lmao... I hope the 2019 Civic gets styling cues from this new Insight
Yes, personally I find most of Hondas line up very odd looking but the insight is very attractive
Looks better than the Accord.
Accord has been ugly since 2016...
Agreed the back of the Accord was were I was like nope
ladyvee7110 this is how it should’ve been... but accord sized
@@iishyxvietxboyii1 2016 was facelift.. much better than 2015
Wow 3 Honda Insight videos hit my inbox at the same time. I guess the embargo lifted at midnight Eastern.
Sleepy Panda Me too. Something going on.
You are correct. The embargo was until midnight.
Wish the white interior is an option here in Canada 😫, only in black here even the touring 😢
Love that this was shot in the Twin Cities, lots of iconic shots. Also loving this car; beautiful, practical, and fuel efficient. That's a combo I've been waiting for!
Test drove an EX today. Beautiful car. Felt very refined. Really well priced considering its a hybrid, and it has a little more guts than most hybrid too (150 hp combined). Only hesitant on it being a 1st generation model tho, but I was impressed with the car.
I bought a Black 2019 Insight Touring last month and couldn't be happier. I LOVE this car! It looks great, and drives really smooth.
This video made me buy this instead of the Civic.
It's been 4 months, how do you feel about your purchase?
@@austinjrb I love it! Only gotcha is that it can get loud on mountain roads. Honda sensing, the killer looks, and awesome infotainment system makes up for it though.
I love this presenter's way of presentation.
I really enjoy your review videos. Usually, on other channels, the videos are either informative but boring or flashy with little substance. You guys strike a great balance. Kudos to Micah and team.
Johnson Lai Thanks for the kind words. Cheers!
@@MicahMuzio 4:42 and 5 inches is plenty usable :( so us white boys would like to think lol
Honda and Acura need to get on the lumbar support train.
Ian's Tech Man finally someone says it.
YES
All Acuras have it on both sides except the base ILX
Dwight K. Schrute my TLX did not have lumbar support
I wonder what's the range of this car. 2019 Fusion hybrid gives little more than 533 miles, but drives like a turtle on freeway. I hate to go to gas stations, frequently!
EDIT: Got the answer on Google. Its 551 miles.
What is it with Honda refusing to include lumbar support. I love my 2017 Civic but holy hell the seats are awful without lumbar on long trips.
Really nice car. I really want the Honda Insight.
Sounds good but thats only for the gen 3+ if you go for gen 1 or 2 you would just get the oddly shaped semi-hatchback.
The gas mileage is what really catches my attention. Wish it was a big as my 04 Accord.
I drive an Accord Hybrid and I love it. It doesn’t get as much, but still really great, nonetheless. They advertise 47 mpg and I definitely wouldn’t say I’m a picture perfect driver, but I regularly get about 40-45 mpg.
Wow that's outstanding stats regardless & more spacious. I'll look into that !
Rookie To Pro it's bigger than your 04 Accord lol
I'll have to check it out in person.
Over 52 MPG after over 4000 miles on EX model.....real world driving....excellent car for the $$
Nice car....practicality, looks, safety features,.....so why do people buy expensive German cars, ? status symbol.
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.
"Rural Minnesota"
*Cuts to downtown Minneapolis*
Tell me you're from SoCal without telling me you're from SoCal. 😜
Is it durable enough for Uber? High mileage durability like the civic?
Yes
Just test drove 2019 Honda Insight and absolutely loved it!
I wonder why I don’t see these a lot on the roads! Maybe lack of publicity!
I have one and love it. Makes me worry though that they arent popular enough and may discontinue them to the point that it may be difficult to find parts sooner than later.
Less advertising, no incentives as compared to electric vehicles. If they start doing that, the traffic will generate.
By far the most entertaining review. I've had mine for a week and I love it. A recurring complaint I hear is about in some reviews is the engine noise sometimes under heavy load. Yes it is louder than the car running in EV only or purely generating electricity for the batteries... but turn on the stereo and you'll almost never notice it.
I went with the EX, and I agree it's worth the small premium from the LX.
I’ve had my eyes on the Toyota Camry LE Hybrid (53MPG) for a month now, but this Honda Insight Touring sounds great too (55MPG) I can’t decide 🤯
Maybe some year I'll buy one of these. But I only buy used. Way to expensive to buy new when considering the depreciation values over 3 years. Plus one could buy a higher trim level.
Hondas typically hold their value really well though. By time it gets to a reasonable depreciated price, the car will be outdated.
Now that is one good looking hybrid!!
I love the genuinely informative tech speak juxtaposed with the sheepish acknowledgment of how silly we all can be about things. Super helpful and fun.
It's s terrible car from inside, cramped for room. Just checked out the recent 2020s.
Kinda wish I got this instead of the 17 Civic! It seems like a really great car
i kinda wish i shouldve got this instead of 2018 Civic.... but Nvm i still love The Civic look ...! i love my 2018 Civic
the 17 civic is a really nice and beautiful car tho
I would buy this over a Prius *1,2,3 generation
BEST REVIEW for this Car yet, Thanks. Carlos at Edmunds and the ROAD SHOW guy didnt even sat on the rear seats, i dont think they even showed the rear seats. For MANY people considering 4 door sedan, we want to get an idea on how kids, friends, in laws :-) will be , complain back there. "Returning latenight and dont want to wakeup people, EV MODE Baby" ..."Stupid Mode is available " ...funny! keep those awesome, funny review videos coming. Thanks
Max Power Thanks, Max!!
Wicked hammered after a night at the club, and don't want to wake your parents:
Use all electric mode
Khu NoPie given that you have the money to buy a new car with all that retarded club shit
Khu NoPie "Or you can be responsible an Uber"...How to save a Life.
Move out looooozer.
MICAH: Great review and video. THANK YOU for showing the cheap LX screen and interior materials. How does the INSIGHT Touring $28k compares to the interior space, head room, leg room, rear seat room space of the $56k Tesla Model 3 ...... I know, it’s not a fair apples to apples, but just in interior space, does it feel the same, smaller or bigger than a Model 3???? I saw a Model 3 at the NYC Tesla Show room, and was not impressed in person looks and feel for a $55k car, it felt like a regular $25k car with unique tech. For the money of the INSIGHT EX for $25k and 55 MPG is looking good!!!!. LUMBAAAAAAR!!!!! RESULTS, NOT LABEL!!!!! very funny, thanks for the video, your thoughts on Model 3 space interior vs the Insight
So here's the check list that it borrows from other Honda Line up
Gauge - 18 Accord
Headlight - accord
Center Screen - Civic
Lane Watch - 2013-2017 accord
It's a good looking car. Much better than the Prius and clarity.
Actually, the center screen is from the Accord... or is at least using the newer software that is on the Accord, and also has a volume knob, neither of which the current Civic has. I guess this system from the Insight will end up on next year's Civic.
Give me AWD and I'll take it.
Micah! Your back! And what is that thing that you put behind your lower back?
I would love to see a plug-in hybrid version of this.... Just give me 50 miles of pure EV, keep the cost low, and I would be in love ❤️...The Honda clarity is so god-awful ugly and pricey
This car is sweet. All the technologies, good pricing! Oh, and beautiful than most hybrids out there.
Toyota >ugly ass honda but this is the only honda i like
I just realized this is in Minneapolis what
Honda may have accidentally made the best selling car. BTW...wireless charging is bad for your phone.
Honda Malaysia doesn't follow the below case when my Honda Insight 2012 had problem.
Purchased my beautiful pearl black Insight EX last month (October 2019) and got a great deal because I waited for the end of year close out so I got one for $20,000.00. Driving it is a dream, I'm getting 60 mpg in town. When I stop for a red light the car switches to the Electric Motor so I don't use gas. When the light is green and I take off it's all electric switching to hybrid mode to charge the battery and help power the engine when I need the extra horse power. I've made one 600 mile round trip on mountainous roads traveling through eastern Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky on my way to rural Ohio and easily got 51 mpg, at times when I was going down hill or on flat roads the mileage increased to 54 at times but the overall was excellent at 51. Overall I'm happy but there is room for improvement. When driving uphill on mountainous roads the engine is loud, you can hear and feel it straining to use its combined 151 hp. I'm guessing the tach would read somewhere in the 6000-7000+ rpm range or higher but once the road straightens out it's back to being a fairly quiet car and very comfortable and easy to drive. I have to admit I love all the safety features including the ACC and LKAS which takes some getting used to.
Probably my next car (current car, 2013 Honda Civic)
Let's see how those Lithium Ion batteries last compared to the NimH batteries in Toyota hybrids first.
Have to say that Honda has awakened. The Civic Type R, new Accord, and the Clarity and Insight. Would be interesting to hear the story about what woke them up.
Stephen Hendricks I dunno, but but F1 might be involved in their overall outlook lol... Mclaren...
"Just spend the extra $1200..." Jajajajaja. And not that I don't love all the reviews, but that car is HANDSOME (especially for a hybrid) and I think I need another view to take it all in...
Cool this review was in Minnesota :D
Rear cross traffic alert available ?
I had a 2019 Honda insight and like most of the features except the engine ! If you even started up a slice grade on the road it roared like the engine was a full throttle. That was quite annoying to me to say the leased. I liked the looks and mileage ,but the engine noise made me trade it on an C-RV. I lose MPG but more room and nothing like the noise from engine ! I had a Toyota Prius before the Insight and the engine noise was nothing compared to the insight. I do like Honda products and hope they improve the insight engine to downgrade the noise !!!
I'll stick with ioniq. Better mpg and more cargo. This looks better though. Good job Honda. It's not ugly.
Holy shit it looks gorgeous!
I was hoping for something a little more objective from Kelly Blue Book. More information and facts less personal opinion.
Best hybrid!
this car is the best honda design ever, much better looking than the accord, especially the rear.
Well done and helpful presentation
Awesome video. Would you have any thoughts of this vehicle compared to the Kia K5?
Best hybrid of all hands down.! 👌
Micah is our hero he speaks about hybrid cars while wearing a nice s2000 shirt.
I'm hoping to soon sell my 2003 Civic and get this!
I would be curious to hear your opinion of the Insight when compared to the Prius in terms of the Hybrid powertrain.
Yea boi ! Micah Micah Micah ! Luv it .
I actually love the Insight more then the Accord
Loving my 2022. Just got 644 miles on a full tank.
So what happened to the Accord 2019?
Love my 2018 Accord if I needed a Hybrid i would definitely consider this car. Honda puts out a Great quality car.
The back of the insight looks better than the civic and accord.
Hi Micah 😄, so great to see you and your review of the' 19 Honda Insight. Hopefully you'll review the 2019 Volvo XC40 soon.
Already done! Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/dj6MnCPXF34/w-d-xo.html
Better looking than the civic and accord combined. Good job Honda (for once).
The fact that is want to buy a hybrid over a civic because of looks makes me wanna scream
Nice car. Nice review. It would be nice to include a real world mpg test to see if the car's reported mpg lives up to the reality of a regular driver's experience.
Ford made the first good looking hybrid called Fusion. This one is great too
Rear seat room ??
Why does the accord hybrid exist when the insight is a thing?
I just test drove one and although it is a beautiful car with a ton of tech features the engine is loud and annoying when accelerating
I noticed that too. It's far louder than the Prius, Niro, and Ioniq. It's probably a bad combo of a CVT and poor torque ratio. It acted like a dog driving up hills. I thought I would have to get out and push!
Insight looks better than the accord. It looks better than civic sedan as well.
Good work. I love you from Algeria
Thank you
You could easily put a charging pad in the phone holding slot. Most cars pre 2015 are missing this painfully obviously needed features ignored by idiot manufacturers.
I really hope they bring this nice thing to Germany.
Well done video as always by the way.
Great car
Nice review, did you forget to shave?
FINALLY
What brand is that lumbar support you used?
This car looks wayyyy better than the civic and the accord
why can't they make Accord look this good.
what the Accord should've looked like.
The front is so ugly, just like the new Civic.
I just got mine and I love it. The no stick thing is great
The gas mileage is AMAZING!
My car ❤ with same color ❤ and same perfection❤
Looks like an Accord
Been waiting for this
Looks a lot better than the Honda Accord
Face Lifted Civic????? Looks Good.
