The Honda Insight Mk1 is powered by a 1. 0L 3-cylinder VTEC engine and an electric brushless motor, combined with a 5-speed manual gearbox, making it an incredibly efficient and fun-to-drive car.
The lightweight all aluminum body contributes to exceptional fuel economy, with figures of 90+ MPG achievable using its ‘lean burn’ technology.
Despite relatively modest power figures, the Insight’s lightweight design (weighing just 825kg) and aerodynamic profile allow it to reach a top speed of 112 MPH.
In 2017, a new hybrid battery was installed at a Honda main dealer a cost of over £4, 000. In 2013 the gearbox was fully rebuild also at a Honda main dealer at a cost of over £2, 000, addressing the two main areas of concern for these models.
Both the hybrid battery and gearbox are in perfect working order, offering peace of mind for the next owner.
All invoices and receipts for the work carried out are available in a comprehensive service history folder.
The vehicle has been meticulously maintained, stored in a garage, and is in excellent mechanical condition.
The Honda Insight Mk1 is rapidly becoming recognised as a modern classic, offering both collectible appeal and practical efficiency.
The Honda Insight Mk1 was a ground-breaking vehicle when it was launched, featuring cutting-edge hybrid technology and a lightweight aluminum body. It’s a rare sight on the roads today, with only 250 units initially sold in the UK, and examples like this one, in such exceptional condition with a full service history, are becoming increasingly hard to find.
The Insight has earned a loyal following and is now being acknowledged by enthusiasts as a future classic, offering a unique blend of low running costs, cutting-edge engineering, and driving enjoyment. Don’t miss the chance to own this stunning example and enjoy Honda’s bold innovation.
