The improved Insight boasts lower fuel emissions and enhanced design.
Honda will unveil a cleaner, higher quality Insight hybrid at this week's Frankfurt motor show.
The revised five-door hatchback will have lower CO2 emissions of 96gr/km, achieved through enhanced aerodynamics and powertrain efficiency, says Honda.
Reduced engine friction, changes to the CVT transmission and improved air-conditioning all contribute to lower fuel consumption.
For 2012, the Insight also receives a refresh of the exterior design, including a new front grille.
