3 Contents What if a car could drive you to be a better person? Everyone wants to be good. So we built the Insight, a hybrid that allows everyone to do a better job at using less fuel, reducing emissions and driving more effi ciently. It s all thanks to the innovative Honda engineers who fi rst began developing hybrid technology nearly 40 years ago. Because of their pioneering spirit we have now been able to develop and refi ne our petrol/electric engine so that the Insight not only promotes fuel effi ciency but also provides a truly engaging driving experience.

5 IMA Technology Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) The Insight uses Integrated Motor Assist (IMA), Honda s unique hybrid technology that combines an electric motor with a conventional petrol engine and controls how they work together. Not only does IMA greatly improve fuel economy but it also brings down CO 2 emissions to 96g/km*. IMA works by doing three fundamental things: fi rstly the electric motor and battery pack assist the petrol engine; then energy generated by braking is used to recharge the battery pack; fi nally the engine automatically turns itself off whenever the car is in Idle Stop mode, at a junction or at traffi c lights. 01 Vehicle stationary (Idle Stop) 02 Start up 03 Gentle acceleration 04 Low speed cruising When the vehicle is at a standstill the petrol engine automatically shuts off and enters Idle Stop mode to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions to zero. Electric functions continue to be powered by the cars battery. When the brake is released, the petrol engine starts up again, with the assistance of the electric motor. The petrol engine slows the speed at which the valves open and close and operates without the assistance of the electric motor. While cruising at a constant low speed, the valves of all four of the engine s cylinders are closed and combustion is halted. The electric motor alone then powers the vehicle. 05 Acceleration 06 Rapid acceleration 07 High speed cruising 08 Deceleration and recharging The petrol engine maintains the slow speed at which the valves open and close but now operates with the assistance of the electric motor, enabling strong acceleration. The petrol engine now switches to high speed valve timing with the assistance of the electric motor, producing a high output for strong acceleration. When cruising at higher speeds, the petrol engine operates in low speed valve timing without the assistance of the electric motor. The valves of all four of the engine s cylinders are closed and combustion is halted. The electric motor recovers the maximum amount of energy released during deceleration and stores it in the battery. The recovered energy is then used when the assistance of the electric motor is required. *Figures shown apply to SE grade. Please see specifi cation pages for more information on other grades.

6 Innovative ideas to help you drive in a more fuel effi cient way CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) The Honda Insight uses Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT), which delivers optimum fuel economy and ensures the most effi cient drive ratio is selected. You always get a seamlessly smooth and responsive acceleration with superior fuel economy. HILL START ASSIST (HSA) Hill Start Assist (HSA) prevents roll-back when starting on an incline. Using a slope sensor; the brake pressure is controlled keeping the car stationary for a brief moment after you release the brake pedal. How do you know if you re being a more fuel effi cient driver? ECO ASSIST Honda s Eco Assist works as a visual coaching system which changes the colour of your speedometer to show you how fuel effi ciently you re driving. When you brake or accelerate sharply the speedometer display will glow in blue. Drive in a smooth, controlled way and the display glows green. When the Econ button is pressed, a green fl ower symbol appears on the dashboard to indicate that the Insight is operating in a more fuel effi cient mode. Your driving is then monitored to see how high or low your emissions are. Heavy acceleration and aggressive braking increase the amount of fuel you use, raise CO 2 emissions and reduce the amount of charge in the battery. The more economically you drive the more the fl ower grows in the Multi-Information Display. At the end of each journey you are given an Eco score which is then added to your lifetime score. The higher your score the less CO 2 you ve emitted into the environment and the more money you ve saved on fuel.

9 Interior Design An intuitive cockpit designed around you The Insight s innovative Dual Zone dashboard displays essential driving information so that it sits directly in your line of vision, making it easier and safer to see at a glance. The upper zone shows the speedometer while the lower zone shows the rev counter, fuel gauge and houses the Multi-Information Display. The interior is designed with a premium, high quality fi nish such as a stitched steering wheel and gear knob. Heated front seats, automatic air conditioning and front and rear electric windows help to create the perfect cabin temperature. While front and rear arm rests and increased headroom ensure a comfortable journey for all.

10 Spacious, comfortable and quiet The Insight can seat 5 adults comfortably and offers highly supportive seats with quality fabrics throughout. Journeys are made more comfortable for all passengers with fold-away armrests and increased headroom. While high quality materials in complimentary colours completes the refi nements on the inside. Boot Space The Insight has been innovatively designed to house the battery pack beneath the boot fl oor, creating a spacious and practical rear cabin. The rear seats split 60:40 and fold fl at and with the seats up, the boot capacity stands at a generous 408 litres. But with the seats folded down the space opens up to create 584 litres when loaded to the window. There s even a hidden compartment beneath the boot fl oor for stowing valuable items.

12 Make a visual impact, not just an environmental one The Insight s sleek lines create a contemporary look that fl ows from the tapered nose right through to the rear spoiler, creating both a unique style and a highly aerodynamic shell. The split-level rear window delivers a purposeful, sporty edge, while the raised roof lining and tailgate creates a clear view of the road behind. A distinctive design for distinctive engineering that still provides all the space and comfort needed to enjoy the drive.

14 ISOFIX CHILD SEAT RESTRAINTS This is the industry standard mechanism for safely securing child seats to the chassis of the car. Create a safe environment, not just a cleaner one Honda is committed to your safety, whether you re the driver, a passenger or a pedestrian. That s why we created the fi rst indoor multi-directional crash test safety facility, to accurately recreate collision conditions and pursue our own safety goals above and beyond regulatory safety standards. DEFLATION WARNING SYSTEM (DWS) The Defl ation Warning System monitors tyre pressure and lets you know if you might have a puncture. It has also enabled us to innovate safety measures to help detect the change in control, working at all times to help prevent accidents. EBD (ELECTRONIC BRAKE-FORCE DISTRIBUTION) This technology works with ABS and maintains stability by distributing the braking effort between the four wheels of the car, thus compensating for weight transfer. ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) An essential safety device that stops the wheels locking under heavy braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control.

Safety 13-14 AIRBAGS The Insight is fi tted with front driver and passenger airbags, as well as front side and front to rear curtain airbags.

15 Safety AIRBAGS The Insight is fi tted with front driver and passenger airbags, as well as front side and front to rear curtain airbags. ACTIVE FRONT HEAD RESTRAINTS In the event of a collision, these front head restraints and 3-point ELR seatbelts help keep passengers safe and secure. VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) Whilst driving, the VSA sensors monitor grip to calculate the amount of power or braking force needed for maximum control.
