As the Malaysian government extends its tax exemption for hybrid vehicles Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd responds positively by confirming it will be bringing in the second generation of the Honda Insight onto Malaysian shores next month.
Introduced in 1999 as America’s first mass-produced Hybrid vehicle, Honda Insight is designed to provide hybrid customers with a new level of affordability, fun-to-drive performance and day-to-day practicality that is stylishly appealing.
Under the hood, Insight is powered by an improved 1.3-liter SOHC i-VTEC engine that improves combustion and fuel efficiency with high torque. Along with a new generation of Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system, the overall engine performance caters for exceptional fuel economy and fun-to-drive performance.
Offering low-emission and superb fuel efficiency with Honda’s IMA system, Insight aptly appeals to a whole new target market who had not considered hybrid vehicles before, due to cost. The Insight’s IMA system incorporates a 10-kilowatt (13 hp) electric motor and a compact Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) that recaptures and stores kinetic energy from vehicle braking and deceleration, and supplies additional power for acceleration when needed.
The continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) has been further enhanced to provide a smoother drive with high torque for rapid performance, a fluid uphill drive, better engine braking and quieter ride.
Pricing is not available as yet but is said to be very affordable, we'll wait for the final confirmation.

HONDA Insight masuk ke pasaran lewat berbanding Toyota Prius. Denganmodel generasi pertama dua tempat duduk, dua pintu dan rekaan yangtidak menarik langsung, ia bukanlah pilihan kepada pembeli yangmementingkan kecekapan bahan api, alam sekitar dan gaya.
Pada tahun 2009, generasi kedua Insight diperkenalkan. Matlamat kaliini bukan sahaja menjadikannya sebuah kereta yang lebih elok, malahkereta mesra alam paling murah boleh dibeli dengan teknologi terkini.Murah dalam erti kata teknologi baru elektrik-enjin yang hanya Hondadan Toyota sahaja yang menggunakannya secara meluas di dunia.
Honda Insight dilancarkan di Malaysia pada acara Kuala LumpurInternational Motor Show (KLIMS 2010) baru-baru ini. Hasil pengumumankerajaan dalam bajet 2011 yang menghapuskan duti eksais dan import padakereta hibrid, jentera sebegitu menjadi satu fenomena dalam industri.
Honda dan alam sekitar
Hibrid adalah istilah umum yang digunakan untuk mekanisme pergerakanyang terhasil daripada dua sumber kuasa berbeza. Honda telahmembangunkan teknologi IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) selama lebihsedekad bagi membolehkannya benar-benar mencapai matlamat.
Walaupun hasil akhirnya tidaklah membanggakan dari sudut penjimatanbahan api, Honda berkongsi sesuatu yang bagus tentang alam sekitar.Kereta elektrik dengan pembakaran dalaman ini menghasilkan sekitar 101hingga 105g karbon bagi setiap kilometer (km).
