The 2010 Honda Insight introduces an all-new Ecological Drive Assist System to help drivers achieve excellent real-world fuel economy. Pressing the ECON button can enhance the efficiency of multiple vehicle systems: throttle control, CVT operation, idle stop duration, air conditioning and cruise control operation.

A 1.3-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine and a 10-kilowatt electric motor form the foundation of the Integrated Motor Assist's hybrid system.

The 2010 Insight defines a new stage in the evolution of hybrid technology, providing drivers with city/highway fuel-economy ratings of 40/43 mpg.

The design of the 2010 Insight features a sleek, futuristic look that speaks to the car's fun-to-drive characteristics. The flat underbody and related strakes near the wheels help the Insight slip through the air with low levels of turbulence and minimal vehicle drag.

Two trim levels are available: LX and EX. The Insight LX includes an automatic continuously variable transmission, automatic climate control, power windows, power door locks with remote entry, tilt and telescopic steering column and driver's seat height adjustment, four-speaker 160-watt audio system with CD player, projector-beam headlights and LED brake lights.

Features added with the Insight EX include Vehicle Stability Assist; alloy wheels; steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters; a six-speaker audio system; USB audio interface; and turn signal-integrated side mirrors.
