Honda Previews the 2012 Insight Hybrid at Frankfurt

In its 2011 model-year, the Honda Insight had quite a bit to offer and didn't expect much in return. More specifically, the feisty hybrid from the Big H fetched a starting MSRP that was just under $18,200. The critics at Edmunds loved it, as did everyone here at Gustman Honda.

With a perfect 5-out-of-5 star rating on Edmunds.com, the Insight is one vehicle that is sure to impress everyone who gets behind the wheel. But, Honda knows that staying at the front of the pack can be a tricky thing to do, especially when more and more automakers are entering the hybrid game each day.

Those of you who are interested in what the Big H's next move will be are in for a treat. See, the Japanese automaker was recently at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and they showed off their design for the 2012 Honda Insight. The new Insight features a more aerodynamic overall design, which is sure to contribute quite nicely to its already envious fuel economy. Then there is the dramatically facelifted front bumper and grill. These two elements work to give the 2012 Honda Insight a sense of style that is often lacking in the hybrid market these days from other automakers.

Another aspect of the 2012 Insight that will benefit its fuel economy is the fact that Honda has made it easier to move through air with a lower drag coefficient. Furthermore, they've also managed to modify the engine to mitigate friction, while also optimizing performance of the continuously variable transmission and air conditioning. To say that the 2012 Honda Insight is one well-oiled machine would be a serious understatement!
