Honda Insight 3 (ZE4) Sedan (2018-2022)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Honda Insight Mk3 (chassis code ZE4) is a compact sedan in production from 2019 to 2022. It was designed as a hybrid-only model. Indeed, it is essentially the hybrid-version of the Mk10 Honda Civic with some styling differences. For the Mk11 Civic, the hybrid model is sold also as Civic (the Insight model line is hence discontinued).
Compared to the Toyota Prius, the Insight is rather similar. One has to choose based on one's preference for styling and interior design.

Reviewer score 43%Offered in three trims -- LX, EX and Touring -- the Insight comes with a generous amount of equipment. Honda Sensing, the automaker's suite of advanced driver aids, is standard across the board. The Insight is pretty innocuous to drive, clearly prioritizing efficiency over even the notion of sport.
