Honda Insight PHEV is a midsize sedan from Dongfeng Honda that combines the advantages of a conventional fuel engine with an electric motor to provide better fuel economy and lower emissions
Powertrain
Engine: Powered by a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated Atkinson cycle engine.
Electric motor: coupled with a two-motor system, one of which is used to drive the vehicle while the other is primarily responsible for generating electricity.
Combined power: The combined maximum output of the system is approximately 158 kW (approx. 215 hp).
Battery pack: Equipped with a high-energy-density lithium-ion battery, the pure electric range can reach tens of kilometers, with specific values varying depending on the version and actual use.
Transmission: an E-CVT continuously variable transmission is used to provide smooth power transmission.
Performance
Acceleration performance: no specific 0-100km/h acceleration time has been officially announced, but thanks to the instantaneous torque characteristics of the electric motor, the vehicle can provide a relatively agile response in the start-up phase.
Maximum speed: about 174km/h.
Comprehensive range: under full fuel and full charge, the comprehensive range can reach about 963 kilometers, thanks to the efficient hybrid system and larger fuel tank capacity.
Charging Capability
Charging Method: Supports home power charging and fast charging at public charging piles.
Charging time: when using AC slow charging, it takes about a few hours to go from empty to full; if using fast charging piles, the charging time can be significantly shortened.
Driving Modes
Multiple Driving Modes: Includes pure electric, hybrid, and priority charging modes, allowing the driver to choose the most appropriate driving style for the situation.
Kinetic Energy Recovery: Adjusts the intensity of kinetic energy recovery via paddles on the steering wheel to help improve energy efficiency.
Exterior Design
Body dimensions: length, width and height are 4979mm * 1862mm * 1449mm, and the wheelbase is 2830mm.
