A
new, top-of-the-range, EX model,
featuring black leather
upholstery and DVD Sat Nav and
hands-free telephone equipment,
has also been introduced to the
Insight line-up.
The changes made to the Insight
across the range are in direct
response to the comments
received from early customers
and the media. The initial focus
was on suspension, to which
improvements have been made to
address negative feedback on
ride and comfort levels.
A number of chassis changes have
been implemented, including:
adjusting the recoil rate of the
springs, changing the rear
camber angles, altering the
V-shape rear suspension brace
and adjusting mounts. The
amendments promise to deliver
improved ride, handling and
stability.
As well as these upgrades to
suspension, Honda has added rear
parking sensors to ES-model
Insights and above, and has
changed some trim to smarten the
interior. Dashboard and seat
colours have been changed to
give a more uniform finish, and
some plastics have been
improved. Chrome rings now
surround air vents, and the
doors have been given a silver
garnish feature.
There are also two new paint
options for Insight customers,
with the introduction of Dynamic
Blue Pearl and Carnelian Red
Pearl.
Pricing for the Insight starts
at £16,325 for the SE model, but
with Honda’s current Affordable
Driving consumer offer, the
hybrid is available at £14,995
OTR until the end of September,
making it even more attainable –
and the least expensive hybrid
on the market by a mile. The
highly-spec’d EX model with
leather upholstery starts at
£20,215 OTR.
