0Honda Insight Gets Refreshed For 2012
There will be a face-lifted Honda Insight for 2012. The 2012 Insight will be even more environmentally friendly producing just 96 g/km* of CO2. Fuel economy and emissions will be improved by means of enhanced aerodynamics and powertrain efficiency. Reduced engine friction, Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) and better air conditioning, benefiting from a new cold storage system will all contribute to lower fuel consumption. The Insight will also receive a fresh exterior design including a new front grille. The slimmed down rear tail spoiler will allow for a wider rear glass area, and combining this with a modified tail gate garnish and a reduction in the size of the wiper motor unit will result in overall increased rear visibility. Adjustments have been made to the engine and suspension for an overall improvement to ride comfort and stability. The features within the interior have also been enhanced for better cabin quality. The global launch of the 2012 Honda Insight will be at Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) 2011 in September.
