Inspired by how Mother Nature does things naturally, Honda created a range of
hybrid cars to give something back to nature. Whether you are naturally progressive,
naturally intelligent or downright naturally awesome, theres a Honda Hybrid for all
of you. The new Honda Insight Hybrid of fers refined styling and functional elements
both on the exterior and interior. Its improved 1.3-litre i-VTEC+IMA (Integrated Motor
Assist) Hybrid System delivers even better fuel economy and lower carbon emissions
while you get an even safer ride with a host of exciting new features.

NATURALLY
ECO-FRIENDLY
The Insight Hybrid, like you, truly has an eco-friendly heart. The Insight Hybrid uses two distinct power
sources - an electric motor and an i-VTEC engine. This Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) Hybrid System
enables the Insight Hybrid to achieve better fuel ef ficiency and enhanced performance.
THE INTELLIGENT POWER
UNIT (IPU)
The IPU system of the Insight Hybrid features
the IMA battery working together with a smart
Power Control Unit which regulates power
supply to the hybrid system. The IPU ensures
that optimum power is always generated to
save energy. Honda offers a 5 YEAR WARRANTY
for the IMA battery**.
THE HYBRID HEART
While the 1.3L i-VTEC engine serves as the main
power source, the electric motor provides the
additional power as and when it is needed. The
acceleration is comparable to what one might
expect from a 1.6L engine.
5 * Speci f i cat i ons may var y and ar e subj ect t o change wi t hout pr i or not i ce.
CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT)
continuous perfor mance
The Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) helps achieve a perfect balance
between fuel ef ficiency and performance. It does this by producing more
torque with an infinite number of ef fective gear ratios. This CVT system provides
better fuel ef ficiency than previous systems, as it better limits excessive RPM
when ECON mode is activated.
IPU
smarter, smaller and lighter
The Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) controls the functions and regulates the power
of the IMA engine. The Insight Hybrids IPU is 19% smaller and 28% lighter than
previous generation IPUs, which makes placement beneath the rear cargo
area possible. By doing so, it also makes way for more boot space.
ELECTRIC MOTOR
compact and ef ficient
The Insight Hybrid utilises a high output, ultra-thin brushless electric motor
which is 22% thinner and 15% lighter than previous generation technology.
MAX. Power : 65kW [88PS]+10kW [14PS]
MAX. Torque : 121Nm [12.3kg-m]+78Nm [8.0kg-m]

+ IMA HYBRID
SYSTEM
IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
The new Insight Hybrid features reduced engine friction
and improved CVT efficiency which gives better fuel
economy and reduces CO
2
emissions.
Combined characters of engine and electric
motor provides fun and fuel efficient driving.
The electric motor stops
and the engine provides
fuel efficient driving alone.
The electric motor recharges
the IMA battery using
energy caused in braking.
All cylinders stop to enlarge
the charging efficiency.
Idling stops automatically to
save fuel consumption and
exhaust gas.
*Engine does not stop in particular
conditions.
The electric motor assists
the engine and provides
powerful acceleration.
All cylinders stop during
low speed cruising*.
Vehicle cruises on electric
motor power alone.
*Engine does not stop in particular
conditions.
Providing more power at
lower revolutions, the electric
motor supports the engine
for powerful acceleration.
The energy flow is intelligently controlled by combining higher revolution power from the engine and lower revolution power
from the electric motor. The electric motor becomes a regenerator to recharge the IMA battery in braking to reuse the energy.

How a Honda Hybrid works
Now heres a car with a real brain. Not just does the Insight Hybrid automatically help you save fuel with its ECON mode,
it also teaches you how to drive greener. Truly a new and fun way of driving!
Green:
Fuel-efcient driving.
Blue-Green:
Moderately fuel-efcient.
Blue:
Uneconomical driving.

NATURALLY
INTELLIGENT
The Eco Assist system was designed and engineered
to make giving back to Mother Nature fun and simple.
At the push of the ECON mode button, you save fuel, reduce emissions and increase
the IMA battery recharging rate.
GUIDANCE FUNCTION
The colour-changing speedometer provides
you with real-time information that lets
you monitor your driving style in an easy,
interactive and fun way.
SCORING FUNCTION
The eco-scoring function provides feedback
about your current and long-term driving
practices. As a reward for driving responsibly,
youll receive leaves that are displayed as
your eco score. The more leaves you collect,
the more responsible your driving is. If you
continue to drive responsibly over the long
term, your leaves will turn into a trophy.
You can also access i mportant dri vi ng
i nfor mati on li ke an eco gui de, average
speed, ener gy flow, fuel consumption and
range capability via the Multi-information
Display. It also shows a score of your latest
driving cycle (from last start up to shut down)
and a cumulative lifetime performance
when the ignition is tur ned of f.
