An often overlooked but never disappointing choice in the hybrid hatchback segment is Honda's Insight. Shadowed by its main competitor, the Toyota Prius, the Insight doesn't get the press it so deserves. For starters, it's much less expensive than its competitors, so much so that it's the least expensive hybrid car on the market today. With its expansive, comfortable interior and responsive transmission and tuning, it's about as much fun as one can have in a hybrid. For the new model year, the 2014 Honda Insight returns to Dallas and Fort Worth unchanged, but it still features the same level of value, style and quality that has made it a sleeper hit in the hybrid world. Continue reading our 2014 Honda Insight review below for more information on its specs, features and amenities.
The 2014 Honda Insight is available in the Dallas area in Insight, LX and EX trim levels. Through its hybrid gasoline/electric powertrain setup, it delivers 98 horsepower and 123 lb.-ft. of torque to the front wheels via an automatic CVT transmission. As with all hybrids, acceleration is somewhat lacking, but unlike most, the 2014 Insight makes up for this with a tightly tuned suspension that makes it more fun to drive.
Amenities aren't in short supply on this inexpensive, sporty car, either. Our 2014 Honda Insight review showed the following standard and optional features: cruise control, a six-speaker audio system, touchscreen navigation, a rearview camera, automatic climate control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, full power accessories, a 60/40 split-fold rear seat and more.
