2022 Honda Insight - Exclusive Ashburn New Car Discounts

Honda’s long-serving Insight hybrid-electric sedan is unchanged for the 2022 model year, though the base LX trim has been dropped. That brings the range down to two models, with a single powertrain and no packages available.

The Insight range starts with EX trim, costing $26,205 including destination. Alternatively, Touring pushes the price up to $30,235.

The Insight combines an AC electric motor with a 1.5-liter 16-valve gas engine, collectively generating 151 horsepower and 197 pound-feet of torque.

This is driven through a continuously variable transmission, returning an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 55 miles per gallon city, 49 mpg highway, and 52 combined in EX models. Extra equipment and larger wheels mean Touring economy drops by 4 MPG, returning 51/45/48 respectively.

Cargo capacity for the five-seater Insight stands at 15.1 cu ft in EX models, and 14.7 cu ft in Touring mode.

It’s pleasing to note both Insight models have identical safety rosters, so safety-conscious buyers don’t have to fork out more for features like hill start assist or blind spot monitoring.

The cabin has six airbags, while drivers benefit from a series of warning and monitoring systems. These include adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, traffic sign recognition, lane keeping and departure warning systems, collision warning and mitigation braking.

Standard connectivity is impressive, with a 180-watt audio system supporting Pandora, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

An HD radio and SiriusXM are also present, controlled through an eight-inch touchscreen with physical buttons for primary controls. You’ll need to invest in Touring trim to get navigation, WiFi hotspot capability or a beefier ten-speaker stereo with a subwoofer.

With active noise cancellation and remote engine start on its spec sheet, every Insight receives automatic LED lights, heated power side mirrors and walk-away auto-locking with a remote trunk release. Climate control regulates a cabin featuring ambient console lighting, push-button start and an eight-speaker audio system.

There are no packages on Insight models.

Touring receives a superior infotainment system, including voice-controlled navigation and a 450-watt ten-speaker audio system with subwoofer.

Dual-zone climate cools a cabin featuring a leather-wrapped steering wheel and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The seats are leather-trimmed and heated in the front with power adjustment for the driver and passenger, and there’s a one-touch tilt-and-slide power moonroof.
