Year to Year Changes
2001 Honda Insight:
Although the Insight was unchanged as the 2001 model year began, a new transmission became available the following spring. Functioning in a manner similar to an automatic, the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) furnishes variable drive ratios rather than conventional gear changes. Steering-wheel "D" and "S" buttons can select normal or higher-performance range.
2002 Honda Insight:
Still leading the league in EPA mileage estimates, the Insight had no significant change for 2002. Air conditioning remained optional, and antilock braking was standard. In spring 2002, Honda launched a brand-new Civic Hybrid with five-passenger seating, to compete more directly against Toyota's Prius.
2003 Honda Insight:
No changes for 2003.
2004 Honda Insight:
Minor changes for the 2004 Insight include a standard CD player and a beige interior, instead of last year's gray.
2005 Honda Insight:
The Insight is unchanged for 2005.
2006 Honda Insight:
There are no significant changes for 2006 Insight.
