We have long been impressed by the Honda Insight. Now it’s released a new model – and it’s the cleanest and most frugal to date. Honda achieved this by tweaking the car’s 1 339cc engine and changing the exterior very subtly (you may not notice) in order to improve aerodynamic efficiency. Look out for the revised front-grille design and slimmer, more aerodynamic spoiler. There’s a greater focus on quality materials and finishes inside, while the suspension settings have been tweaked to improve ride comfort and stability.
