Used Honda Insight
Honda launched the original Insight in 1999 as one of the world’s first mass-market hybrids. The second-generation – the one you’ll see most on UK roads – arrived in 2009 and ran to 2014, bringing the kind of everyday usability its two-seat predecessor simply didn’t offer. Both generations focus on affordability and economy, competing with the Toyota Prius and Auris Hybrid. What really defines the Honda Insight today is easy, dependable ownership – simple controls, approachable design and outstanding fuel efficiency. It’s especially appealing if you want a car that just works every time.
Pros
Outstanding fuel economy- Practical hatchback boot
- Proven Honda reliability
Cons
Road and engine noise at speed- Less powerful than some rivals
- Older infotainment in early models
-
What are the key safety features of the Honda Insight?
The 2009-on Honda Insight earned a five-star Euro NCAP rating. Standard kit includes multiple airbags (front, side and curtain), Vehicle Stability Assist, EBD, ISOFIX and three rear head restraints – reassuring for everyday family use.
-
What engine options are available with the Honda Insight?
The second-generation Honda Insight (2009–2014) uses a 1.3-litre petrol engine with Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system. There are no other engine sizes, which helps keep maintenance straightforward. Earlier (1999–2006) models use a 1.0-litre petrol hybrid, though they’re rare on UK roads.
-
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Honda Insight?
Standard kit typically includes AC, electric windows and a CD player or simple media unit. Higher trims may add climate control, Bluetooth and, on some cars, sat nav. The tech is straightforward rather than flashy – solid, reliable and easy to use.
-
What is the fuel consumption of the Honda Insight?
Official combined economy for 2009–2014 Honda Insight models is around 61.4 mpg (NEDC), but real-world averages sit near 50 mpg, depending on driving and condition. Your result will always depend on route, load and driving style.
-
What should I check when buying a used Honda Insight?
Look for a full service history, with evidence of hybrid system and 12V battery care. Check that all electrics operate as expected and take a thorough test drive to confirm smooth CVT operation. For peace of mind, book The AA Vehicle Inspection.
-
Are Honda Insight cars reliable?
Yes – Honda’s reliability record carries through to the Honda Insight when it’s serviced on time, and owners’ reviews are broadly positive. As with any older hybrid, it’s worth checking the battery health before you buy to avoid unexpected repair costs later on.
