Interior
Although the Insight is based upon the Civic compact sedan, it has a more mature, refined exterior and interior. The Insight borrows the design of the new Accord sedans front and rear. However, the details are smoother and less cluttered. The interior is uncluttered with a focus on well-coordinated materials. Although the Insight isn’t fast, it’s quick enough to do the job and efficient. It has EPA combined ratings that range from 52 mpg to 48 mpg depending on which version you choose. This makes it one of the best-mpg new sedans and one of the most efficient new cars if you don’t mind forgoing charge ports.
Although Insight is officially a 5-seater, it can be comfortably occupied by four adults. The 15.1 cubic feet of trunk space makes it one of the largest small sedans. Independent and federal testers give Insight five stars from NHTSA, and a Top Safety Pick+ award from IIHS. The Insight was updated last year with blind-spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alerts for EX and Touring trims. Every Insight comes with automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
