Everything You Need to Know About Honda's All-New 2019 Insight

Honda has recently released the all-new 2019 Insight, which has a sleek exterior and will save you plenty of money on fuel. It's one of the cars that has been manufactured by the automaker to be more eco-conscious for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint. When you want to learn more about the vehicle, there are a few key facts to understand. American-Made The 2019 Honda Insight is U.S.-built from top to bottom, including the battery pack and engine. The car is built on the Civic platform and is a cross between the Accord and the Civic. The hood is similar to the Accord because it's constructed out of aluminum with a grille that also mimics the Accord. The vehicle comes with a 106.3-inch wheelbase with plenty of space inside of the cabin that mimics the Civic but is plusher. Due to its soft instrument-panel trim, leather upholstery, and seven-inch TFT display, the interior resembles a luxury vehicle with the premium materials and features that are included. The trunk is 15-cubic-feet and can hold longer items due to the folding rear seats, which is standard in the Insight. Technology The 2019 Honda Insight comes standard with the Honda Sensing suite of active-safety systems, which includes automated emergency braking, traffic-sign recognition, lane-departure warning, and road-departure mitigation. A multi-angle rearview camera eliminates blind spots and can also reduce the risk of a collision while improving driver confidence. For added comfort, the Insight also offers an eight-inch infotainment display, heated side mirrors, a power sunroof, dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable heated front seats, and premium audio. Drivers can also take advantage of 4G LTE mobile hotspot compatibility to stay connected to the Internet while on the road. The latest generation of HondaLink subscription services will also be available to consumers. Performance The Honda Insight is built with a two-motor hybrid system with each motor performing different functions. The traction motor is geared towards the differential and the second motor is used for the gasoline engine with a clutch. Honda has stated that the gasoline engine can turn off while the car is running in some conditions, which increases fuel efficiency. The car model also has the top power-to-weight ratio in its class. The car drives smoothly despite its power and offers excellent handling on winding roads. The vehicle is also built with a sports mode by altering the power source. Insight The cabin in the 2019 Honda Insight is upscale and includes plenty of room in the front and rear seats. Soft-touch materials are used, and the layout on the dashboard is simple, making it easy to find controls and buttons without becoming distracted. A significant amount of visibility is also provided in the front and back seats, which creates an interior setting that is thoughtful. Exterior The exterior of the new Honda Insight has a unique design that differs than similar Honda models and has a futuristic design that is modern and edgy. The car resembles a luxury vehicle with dramatic rear taillights and sharp rims that look like they're in motion due to their design. The grille is oversized and is the focal point of the front of the vehicle, but is minimal, which allows the exterior of the car to look sleek.

How to Maintain Your New Honda

Hondas are considered to be one of the most reliable car brands on the road due to their longevity. Purchasing a Honda can be an investment that allows you to own a reliable vehicle long-term. When you're ready to make the purchase, there are a few important steps to take to maintain the vehicle over time. Check the Levels Make it a point to check the levels in the engine to ensure that it can operate properly and doesn't have any issues that develop with frequent use. The levels should be topped up with the cooling system to reduce the risk of the car overheating. It's also necessary to check the wiper fluid level to ensure that you have visibility and can remove any dirt on the windshield. Read the owner's manual to determine the specific type of liquids that need to be used to avoid damage to the vehicle. It's also necessary to take a look at the transmission fluid on a regular basis and refer to the owner's manual to determine how much is needed. The differentials and transmission should be flushed after looking at the service interval tables. Check the Tires You'll want to check the tire pressure once a month to ensure that they're properly inflated, which can allow you to enjoy a smooth ride while also increasing your fuel efficiency. You can also inspect the vehicle to determine if you need wheel alignment. Check to see if the car will drive in a straight line while taking your hands off of the steering wheel for several seconds while driving, which can also lead to excessive wear of the tires. If you fail to keep the oil topped off or replace it, you'll find yourself having to pay for expensive repairs. Perform Oil Changes Changing the oil is one of the most critical steps to take to keep the engine running past 200,000 miles. The oil is considered to be the blood of the engine and needs to be changed at least every 3,000 miles or every three months, depending on what comes first. Keep the Vehicle Clean Keeping your vehicle clean will allow it to maintain its appearance and can also prevent excess wear and tear on the parts. You'll want to wash the exterior, the undercarriage, and the engine bay to remove contaminants that can lead to damage. The body of the car should also be waxed every six months to maintain the shine and protect the paint. Make it a point to use automotive cleaners on the paint because using household cleaners can easily strip the finish. Detailing the interior is also necessary to maintain the upholstery and limit the damage that occurs. Vacuuming the inside of the car, cleaning the seats, and wiping down the dashboard is essential once each month. Inspect the Exhaust System Look for parts that are present in the exhaust system and tighten any of the clamps that are loose when you're able to take a close look at the car when it's on ramps. You'll also need to be aware of any unusual noises that you hear in the exhaust while the car is in use to determine if any repairs are needed. In some cases, the entire exhaust system will need to be replaced instead of repairing a specific part of it. If you want additional tips on how to maintain your new Honda and keep it running long term, contact our dealership to talk to an expert. We'll provide you with more information and can help you choose a specific model that meets your needs. Service Your Honda Contact Us
