2019 Insight powertrain
Although specifics are still relatively limited at this this time, there are some rumors going around at what we can expect in terms of a powertrain. Power is expected to come from a 1.5-liter Atkinson-cycle engine mated to an electric motor fed by a lithium-ion battery pack. Honda has promised that the new Insight will offer class leading horsepower and fuel economy that's better than 4.7L/100 km. It's believed that the new Insight has been designed to run mostly on electric power, with engine more operating as a generator.
