Exterior Interior

Integrated Motor Assist IMA^®

So what makes an Insight a hybrid? Well, it’s actually a little something called the Integrated Motor Assist, or IMA^®. This is the ultra-thin electric motor that adds power when you need it and recharges itself through the recapturing of energy created during braking. Now in its fifth generation, the advanced IMA powertrain is 19% smaller and 28% lighter than ever, which makes sense because almost everything about the Insight has been engineered to be as light, smart and efficient as possible

1.3-litre, i-VTEC^® 4-cylinder engine

If the Integrated Motor Assist is the soul of the Insight, then the high efficiency low-friction 1.3-litre i-VTEC engine is most certainly its heart. So what happens when you put responsive performance, excellent fuel efficiency and intelligent hybrid technology into the same engine together? Well, you get a healthy real-world balance of efficient highway commuting and efficient city driving. And did we mention you get other incredible things too, like less pit stops and more peace of mind?

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

In many ways the Insight’s CVT is like a regular automatic transmission, except in this case it’s got Insight written all over it. It’s more enlightened. It’s more efficient. And it constantly adjusts to provide you with the most efficient drive ratio possible depending on your driving demands. So you could say it’s like a regular transmission, but way smarter, and another great example of the lengths Insight engineers have gone to improve fuel efficiency and acceleration.
