2021 Honda Insight For Sale Near San Leandro

San Leandro Honda Dealership

Many people believe the Toyota Prius was the first hybrid to arrive on the American market, but that title goes to the Honda Insight, which appeared in Honda dealerships a few months before the Prius was released here. This four-door midsize sedan is larger than the Honda Civic and smaller than the Honda Accord. The 2021 Honda Insight impresses buyers at dealerships like the San Leandro Honda dealer, thanks to its impressive fuel economy, smooth ride, comfortable cabin and exceptional safety scores.

The 2021 Honda Insight seats five and is offered in three trim levels: LX, EX and Touring. The Insight employs a hybrid powertrain that utilizes a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that works in tandem with an electric motor to drive the front wheels. The system uses a 1.2-kWh lithium-ion battery located under the rear seats. According to the San Leandro Honda dealership, this powertrain generates a total of 151 horsepower. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 55 mpg city/49 mpg highway for the LX and EX trims, and 51 mpg city/45 mpg highway for the Touring.*

We like it because it drives just like a regular car but gets 55 mpg in daily city driving. And there’s no need to ever plug it in because the onboard battery is charged in regular everyday driving. This Honda hybrid is an attractive compact sedan ... All told, driving the Honda Insight is an extremely easy affair.”
