The Honda Insight is a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). It is not a full electric vehicle (EV). The Insight combines a 1.5-liter Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder engine with a powerful drive motor, a motor/generator, and a lithium-ion battery pack. The hybrid system uses the gasoline engine for various purposes, such as starting the engine and recharging the battery through regenerative braking. The Honda Insight is known for its fuel efficiency and is considered one of the most fuel-efficient gasoline-powered cars available in the U.S. without plug-in capability.
