It is also interesting to note that the Honda hybrid was the first gasoline electric car sold in the United States. However, consumers didn't favor its original exterior style, which reminded them of a sci-fi movie. Honda does deserve credit for the Insight uniqueness.
The Honda Insight is powered by an Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system, which features an electric motor that adds acceleration power and acts as a generator to charge the battery when braking or coasting. Additionally the Insight’s four-cylinder engine and Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which has an infinite number of gear ratios, helps conserve fuel. All models come with Eco Assist, which helps save even more gas when selected.
