The 2012 Honda Insight gets updated.
Honda’s venerable hybrid will become slightly more fuel-efficient thanks to substantial aerodynamic improvements.
Combining a new grille and front bumper with reduced engine friction, and improvements to the CVT and air-conditioning system, the 2012 Insight will produce 96 g/km of CO2, or 57 mpg on the European cycle (which typically is about 10 to 20 percent higher than the U.S. cycle).
In the U.S., Honda’s improvements could help the Insight yield anywhere from 45.6 mpg to 51.3 mpg. However, it’s still unconfirmed whether we’ll be receiving these updates on this side of the pond.
The 2011 Honda Insight yields 40 mpg city and 43 mpg highway. Additional information on the automaker’s only dedicated hybrid model should become available in the coming weeks.
