The vehicle goes on sale in the US next spring, and is expected to enter the market at a price significantly below hybrids available today.
Evoking the innovative styling cues first seen in the FCX Clarity, the production Insight will be offered as a five-door, five-passenger hatchback, and will utilise a more cost-efficient version of Honda's Integrated Motor Assist hybrid technology.

Numerous other technologies, including a function to assist customers in achieving more fuel efficient driving habits, will be applied to achieve a further improvement in real world fuel efficiency.
Along with the Civic Hybrid, the new vehicle will be produced at an expanded hybrid vehicle production line at the Suzuka factory in Japan, with expected annual global sales at 200,000 units per year, half of which will be in the US.
