Low-rolling resistance tyres have been fitted to redesigned alloy wheels in both variants to improve fuel economy.
The Insight nameplate was the first hybrid launched in Australia, and the new one sells for a relatively affordable $29,990 for the VTi and $33,490 for the VTi-L (CVT with flat paint only).
Both have a five-star ANCAP safety rating and Honda says it is one of the best value hybrids on the market. Exterior changes have been made to the grille and bumper and at the rear there's a thinner tailgate spoiler and other minor tweaks.
The rear combination lamp has also been redesigned for a more sophisticated appearance. Low-rolling resistance tyres have been fitted to redesigned alloy wheels in both variants to improve fuel economy.
The VTi receives LED daytime running lights, integrated Bluetooth with steering-wheel mounted controls and new door mirrors with side turn indicators. The VTi-L receives the same LED daytime running lights and a leather gear shift knob. Inside changes are minor but headroom in the back seats has been increased by 20mm by redesigning the hatch lining and seat design.
Fuel efficiency for the Insight has been improved by 6.5 percent. It now uses 4.3 l/100km (combined urban/extra urban), resulting in a 5.5 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions. Improvements to the engine and transmission, greater aerodynamics, a power-saving electric fuel pump and the low-rolling resistance tyres all contribute to Insight's improved fuel consumption and lower carbon dioxide emissions.
