Honda Will Soon Be Building EVs and More Hybrids in Ohio
This article was written around Christmas last year but I recently read about it. It includes some interesting things about the 2019 Honda Insight which I will list below...
- Kimiyoshi Teratani, Honda operating officer in charge of Japan operations, said the third-generation Insight embodies driving feel and good design in one package. "Fuel economy, driving and design — we have sought to strike the right balance among these three elements at high levels," he said.
- In the U.S., the model is targeted at younger users with no families to drive around.
- But in Japan, the Insight is pitched to people in their 40s and 50s who are more familiar with driving sedans, Teratani said.
- Teratani acknowledged that the overall sedan segment is shrinking at home, but he said customers now have more diverse choices in the sedan segment.
- "The new Insight is neither an ordinary sedan nor an ordinary environmentally friendly vehicle," he said. "I think this is more like a luxury sports-car-type model."
- Honda is targeting Insight sales of 12,000 units a year in Japan and hopes to sell more than 20,000 vehicles a year in North America.

- Big H is temporarily stopping the second shift at its Marysville, Ohio, plant to retool for hybrids and battery-electric cars. The change is slated to begin in August.
- While Honda hasn’t formally announced any new models, the company is clear that it will add hybrid powertrains to more of its current vehicles.
