2018 Honda Insight revealed ahead of Detroit motor show Dec 20th 2017, 10:02 New hybrid will resurrect a previous nameplate but won't come to the UK or Europe The Honda Insight is to return in 2018 with a hybrid powertrain, as Honda revives its Toyota Prius rival for the US market.  A full suite of images image accompanies Honda's announcement, showing that the car will take a more conventional saloon shape than its more Prius-like high-reared predecessor.  The front will adopt Honda's aggressive new styling, with a metallic strip running the width of the front, tying in with Honda's other US models.  For its third generation, the Insight will not be sold in the UK, but the IMA - Integrated Motor Assist – system will find its way into later UK cars such as the CR-V due in 2018, as well as future hybrids, as Honda continues its push for electrification.  Where previous hybrids have been compromised by their electrification, the new Insight will be "a great car in its own right, independent of what's happening under the hood", said Honda's American boss, Henio Arcangeli.  "The all-new Insight embodies Honda's approach to creating electrified vehicles without the typical tradeoffs." Honda's original Insight in 1999 was rated the most fuel-efficient petrol car certified by the EPA at the time. Honda has not yet announced how fuel-efficient the next Insight will be, but Arcangeli described the car as having "best-in-class performance", suggesting it may be more frugal than its rivals.  Read more Honda Insight 2009-2014 review Honda CR-V hybrid leads new line-up for VW Tiguan rival Honda Urban EV confirmed for 2019 with 'very few changes' Honda Sports EV shows intent for future electric performance car
