The Honda Insight is made of various materials, including aluminum for its body construction. The Insight’s highly rigid aluminum side pillar, side sill, rigid floor frame, floor crossmember, and side-impact beams built into the doors help minimize cabin deformation in a side impact.

Why was Honda Insight discontinued?
Honda decided to stop Insight production in order to make room for the Civic Hybrid. If you’re interested in purchasing an Insight, visit our Arlington, TX, dealership today.
What is the body material of Honda Insight?
Lightweight Aluminum Body
Honda developed the first mass-produced aluminum bodied vehicle, the Acura NSX sports car. Building on this experience, the Insight was designed to use a new type of lightweight aluminum-copper alloy body.
Is Honda Insight worth getting?
Based on the Civic sedan, the Insight has the same strengths and weaknesses. The ride is comfortable, its handling is secure but mundane, and the rear seat is relatively roomy. But the Insight suffers from a very low stance, which hurts getting in and out.
What materials does Honda use?
Raw material supply
We procure and supply raw materials such as light metals, steel, plastics, resin and Platinum Group Metals (PGM).
Why is no one buying the Honda Insight?
Fuel Economy
However, subsequent design changes to the model (including adding more seats) decreased the MPG, thus allowing the Prius to usurp it in terms of sales. The Insight never recovered, and earlier this month, Honda dealers announced they would no longer be ordering more Insights for their lots.
What does the Honda Insight run on?
The Insight’s primary power source is its gasoline engine.
The Honda Insight is the first mass-produced gasoline- electric hybrid vehicle to be sold in the United States.
Will Honda discontinue Insight?
Honda has announced that the Insight will be discontinued after the 2022 model year.
Is Honda getting rid of the Insight?
Honda has confirmed that the Insight will be discontinued in the United States this year as the automaker focuses on its new Civic Hybrid and CR-V Hybrid models. The Insight, available in the U.S. since 2000, is Honda’s oldest hybrid model and is due for a redesign.
Where is Honda Insight made?
Of course, Honda and its dealers made virtually no effort to promote the Insight, which is built in Japan and proves more expensive to bring here than a locally manufactured Civic. Despite the hybrid’s many desirable attributes, few people even know it exists.
What material are Hondas made out of?
All Honda vehicles utilize unibody construction. The body and frame are made of steel stampings robotically welded into strong box sections; the outer-skin panels contribute to the integrity of the unibody.
