Frequently Asked Questions
The Honda Insight has been offered across three generations with different hybrid systems. The third generation (2018-2022) uses a 1.5-litre Atkinson-cycle engine paired with two electric motors for a combined 151 hp. The first generation (1999-2006) pioneered Honda's IMA hybrid with a 1.0-litre three-cylinder, while the second generation (2009-2014) used a 1.3-litre IMA system. The third generation was not officially sold in Europe, making Portuguese examples private imports.
Honda Insight prices in Portugal vary considerably by generation. Second-generation models (2009-2014) can be found from EUR 5,000 to EUR 9,000, while first-generation models range from EUR 3,000 to EUR 8,000 depending on condition and rarity. Third-generation imports, when available, typically cost EUR 15,000-22,000. The original first-generation Insight has emerging collector status.
The Honda Insight was designed as Honda's fuel efficiency showcase, with the first generation achieving under 4.0 L/100km in careful driving. The second generation averaged approximately 4.5-5.5 L/100km in mixed conditions, while the third generation improved to around 4.0-5.0 L/100km. These figures make the Insight one of the most economical non-plug-in vehicles ever produced.
The IMA battery pack is the critical inspection point on first and second-generation Insights, as replacement costs can exceed EUR 2,000 for the battery assembly. Check the dashboard for any IMA warning lights and test the battery assist function during acceleration. On the first-generation model, inspect for corrosion on the lightweight aluminium body panels, and verify the CVT transmission operates smoothly across the full speed range.
Only the second-generation Honda Insight (2009-2014) was officially distributed in Portugal through Honda's dealer network. The first generation was available as a personal import, and the third generation (2018-2022) was a North American-market exclusive requiring individual importation. Portuguese buyers interested in the Insight should prioritise second-generation models with Honda Portugal service history for the best ownership experience.
