Hybrid cars are often about compromises. You can have your fuel efficiency,
but you end up giving up style, driving dynamics, passenger space, and
other essentials. Well, until now, at least. The
2021 Honda Insight
has all the strengths and none of the compromises, so if you want a hybrid
sedan that delivers in every sense imaginable, it's time to visit Gillman Honda Houston.
2021 Honda Insight DetailsÂ
The 2021 Honda Insight shares its platform, but precious little else, with the new Honda Civic . It's slightly larger and carves out its own visual identity as well. With only three trims (LX, EX, and Touring), it's easier to get the features you want with a minimum of guesswork.
There are also a number of design choices that make the
new Honda sedan
a compelling choice. To begin with, the battery pack is located under the
second-row seats, giving you more space for passengers and cargo alike. LED
head and tail lights, active noise reduction, added sound-dampening
materials, plus aluminum alloy wheels, provide an upscale experience. And
the regenerative braking is much closer to a standard braking system in
feel, making for more familiar driving dynamics.
2021 Honda Insight Safety and Special Features
The LX trim has a multi-angle rearview camera, but the best bits of the Honda Sensing™ suite come to the EX and Touring trims. This year, they receive rear cross-traffic alert and an upgraded blind spot warning system in place of the old LaneWatch system, and both are standard.
There's plenty more tech on offer, like the Honda Display Audio
infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and an available
Wi-Fi hotspot. Your
Houston Honda dealership
will also give you the lowdown on the HondaLink® subscription service,
which gives you app-based access to fuel and range figures, door locking
and unlocking, and much more.
Buying a 2021 Honda Insight
Many hybrid models are judged as hybrids first, and cars second, often
coming with the disclaimer that they're "good… for a hybrid." That's not
the case here. The Honda Insight shows all the traditional strengths of the
Honda brand, including good design, fun handling, and legendary
reliability. You're just getting a little something extra. So stop by
Gillman Honda Houston for a test drive!
