The original hybrid—a fuel-sipping, aerodynamic, two-seater that looked like a spaceship and got 70 mpg. It was a science experiment on wheels, but it paved the way for the Prius.
The 1st gen (2000-2006) had a 1.0L 3-cylinder engine (67 hp) and an electric motor (13 hp) with a 144-volt nickel-metal hydride battery. It had a 5-speed manual or a CVT. It was aluminum-bodied and weighed just 1,850 lbs. The 2nd gen (2010-2014) was a 5-door hatchback with a 1.3L 4-cylinder (98 hp) and an electric motor (13 hp) with a lithium-ion battery. It had a CVT. The 3rd gen (2019-2022) was a 4-door sedan with a 1.5L 4-cylinder (109 hp) and an electric motor (129 hp) with a lithium-ion battery. It had a CVT or a 6-speed manual.
The 1st gen Insight is reliable but the battery degrades over time. The IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) system can fail. The 2nd and 3rd gen Insights are more reliable—the hybrid system is robust. The 2022 model is a good used hybrid.
