INSIGHT

The all-new 2010 Honda Insight builds on a decade of Honda hybrid expertise, packaging a more affordable version of the company's gasoline-electric powertrain in a distinctive, engaging and functional 5-door vehicle. The Insight brings hybrid technology to the entry-level segment as a way to better improve the relationship between environmental performance and the traditional cost premium. Featuring Hybrid technology that has evolved since the debut of the original 2000 Insight - the vehicle that first introduced North America to hybrids - the all-new Insight is designed to pioneer the critical next transition: making the technology more attainable, more engaging and more desirable to a wider audience.

Ecological Drive Assist System

The "Ecological Drive Assist System" uses a combination of color cues in the speedometer and "leaves which grow" to encourages economical driving behaviors. When you push the "Eco" mode button, the speedo turns green when you're being frugal or blue when you're honing it, also a panel grows "leaves" to reward short term driving and displays the long term performance as well.



NEW INSIGHT TECHNOLOGY HELPS DRIVERS MAXIMIZE FUEL ECONOMY
Dashboard display encourages and rewards greener driving styles. Honda has announced a new Ecological Drive Assist System to help drivers achieve better fuel economy. The technology will feature on the new Insight family hybrid car, which goes on sale in spring 2009.

It will be the world’s first system to combine three different functions to enhance fuel economy: an ECON Mode which controls engine, transmission and other powertrain components to support more fuel-efficient driving; a guidance function that helps drivers become more fuel efficient behind the wheel using the color of the speedometer display; and a scoring function that provides instant and long term feedback on driving techniques, after each journey.
