Honda will unveil a cleaner,
higher quality Insight hybrid at
the Frankfurt Motor Show in
September.
The revised 5-door hatchback
will have lower CO2
emissions of 96g/km*, achieved
through enhanced aerodynamics
and powertrain efficiency.
Reduced engine friction, changes
to the CVT transmission and
improved air conditioning all
contribute to lower fuel
consumption.
These changes mean that the 2012
Insight once again qualifies for
exemption from the London
Congestion Charge, and falls
into the lowest VED band,
meaning owners will pay no
annual road tax. The new figures
also ensure that Insight remains
in one of the lowest groups for
Benefit in Kind taxation.
For 2012, the Insight also
receives a refresh of the
exterior design, including a new
front grille. At the back,
visibility is increased through
the introduction of a slimmer
spolier and a modified tailgate
garnish, and a reduction in the
size of the wiper motor.
Adjustments have also been made
to the engine and suspension for
an overall improvement to ride
comfort and stability, and
interior quality has been
enhanced. |
