2020 Honda Insight review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2020 Honda Insight?

A hybrid compact sedan with seating for five that’s aimed squarely at the Toyota Prius, the Honda Insight is based on the Honda Civic sedan but has unique styling, a more upscale interior and a gas-electric hybrid drivetrain that delivers an EPA-estimated 52 mpg combined in most trim levels. Besides the Prius, competitors include the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid and Toyota Corolla Hybrid

What’s New on the 2020 Honda Insight?

All-new last year, the only significant change for 2020 is a new Platinum White Pearl paint color. 

What Features in the 2020 Honda Insight Are Most Important? 

All trim levels include the Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assist features, including forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. An 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system goes in all trim levels but the base LX, and it includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. The top, Touring trim includes heated front seats, leather upholstery, a power moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, navigation and a premium stereo.

Should I Buy the 2020 Honda Insight?

Honda fans and other hybrid buyers looking for terrific fuel economy and an alternative to the Toyota Prius would do well to consider the Honda Insight. With a long list of standard safety features and three trim levels to choose from, the Insight offers a measure of style to go with its practicality.

Don't waste your money

The driver seat is extremely uncomfortable on a long trip if it had a lumbar support or something would improve it quite a bit but it don't the fuel economy is at least 10 gallons per mile off from what they overtise by my car which I bought with just very few miles on it I like the looks of the car everything else about the car other than the uncomfortable seats is nice Honda just needs to do quite a bit to improve it

WoW gas mileage

WOW the gas mileage is incredible I can regularly get 50 mpg my lead foot wife gets 47. I’m a big person tall and wide it could be more comfortable but I’ve owned worse. The “switch” gas to battery is 100 percent seamless, just drive it like a regular car and it dies the rest. It has a ton of electro so it’s the only car I ever bought an extended warranty. Did I mention it gets 50 mpg and dies look like an ugly Prius. Honda through and Through!!
