The Car Guide rating 81%(view ratings)
Equipped with a regular, non-plug-in hybrid system, the Honda Insight compact sedan soldiers on as a mostly anonymous car in the Japanese automaker’s lineup.

For 2021, new standard features include a sunroof, blind spot monitoring system and rear-cross traffic alert.
