2020 Honda InsightThe 2020 Honda Insight has been designed to draw on the most popular elements of the previous models with the updated technology and engineering that have improved vehicle design in the last year. The exterior has plenty to make it stand out, with a smooth and stylish design that combines classic elegance with sleek modern lines. The interior is packed with luxury features that make it a dream to drive.

Safety First

One of the headlines when it comes to the 2020 Honda Insight is its incredible safety record. Both the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety praised the 2019 model for the incredible engineering that made it perform well in a variety of tests and simulations; the 2020 version is packed with even more technology to keep you safe on the roads.

The Honda Sensing system uses driver-assistive technology in three main areas: the Collision Mitigation System will safely apply the brakes when it detects an unavoidable collision; the Road Departure Mitigation System will help you stay on course by detecting if you drift out of your lane without indicating and guiding you back to a safe path; and the Adaptive Cruise Control will help you to stay at a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you and maintain a level speed without the need for constant braking.

A Hybrid With Style

Gone are the days when choosing a hybrid meant limiting yourself when it comes to style; the 2020 Honda Insight is proof that you can have it all. This car has an incredibly advanced engine doing the hard work while the exterior gives it the look of luxury that befits a vehicle with such an impressive pedigree. Options include leather-trimmed seats and steering wheel, 17-inch alloys, and a tilting moon roof to brighten up your interior and make the driving experience even more pleasurable.

Amazing Acceleration

Just when many hybrid owners had resigned themselves to less-than-impressive acceleration, the 2020 Honda Insight has proved itself an exception to the rule on that front as well. Managing 0 to 60 mph in just 7.3 seconds, the Insight also reached 84.6 mph to cover a quarter of a mile in just 15.8 seconds. If you have been put off buying a hybrid by reports of sluggish acceleration and low speeds, then this is the car to change your mind.

Buying a hybrid used to be an exercise in compromise, trading off fuel economy and the environmental benefits against simpler designs and limited power. However, the 2020 Honda Insight has opened up a wider range of options for hybrid owners who also appreciate impressive speeds and elegant engineering. The care and attention given to the design make the 2020 Honda Insight an appealing model in its own right and gives this hybrid a visual appeal that makes it a viable choice for those who want both style and substance.
