How much does a used Honda Insight cost?

The cheapest Honda Insight that is available here on AutoUncle costs £2,890, while the most expensive model is priced at £8,390.

The cost of a pre-owned Honda Insight is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include what year the car is from, engine size and performance, the car's fuel efficiency, number of miles and the trim level of the car.

For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer will typically have a higher price. Similarly, models at the higher end boasting luxurious features or more powerful engines will also carry a more substantial price tag than a used model with many kilometres on the odometer and in a simple equipment variant.

What versions of the Honda Insight are available based on equipment?

The Honda Insight is offered in a varied array of trim editions to cater to different driving tastes and requirements. The most popular ones are:

• Honda Insight Hybrid: Right now you will find 19 cars for sale at an average price of £4,936

• Honda Insight EX: 1 car for sale at an average price of £6,250

When reviewing the price points of used Honda Insight cars, it is important only comparing the deals of cars with the same equipment variant and engine size. If not, you could make a wrong decision on which car to purchase.

What fuel types are available for the Honda Insight?

For the Honda Insight plug-in hybrid stands as the only fuel type available. Right now we have seventy-four cars for sale at an average price of £6,825.

In order to choose the right fuel type, you need to ask yourself the following questions: Are you more often driving in urban areas or on expansive roads and motorways? How many miles do you usually drive each week?

If you primarily drive short distances, electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol is typically a good fit. For longer commutes, a newer electric car is a good alternative - especially with access to charging. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. If you often drive long distances and can't charge, diesel can still be a viable option. Note that there are countries where diesel engines with heavy emissions are forbidden from entering city areas.

The use of hybrid cars is gaining momentum

In the UK, hybrid vehicles are favored for their fuel-saving capabilities, diminished carbon emissions in contrast to regular vehicles, and the increasing availability of charging infrastructure, in line with national environmental objectives and fiscal benefits for eco-friendly transport. The adoption of hybrid vehicles like the Honda Insight plays a significant role in the transformation towards more ecologically sustainable and friendly commuting practices.

Upsides to investing in a used hybrid car

Many positives are associated with the selection of a used hybrid vehicle. Such as:

1. Cost savings on purchase: Used hybrid cars are generally more affordable than new ones. This lower initial expense can make hybrids more reachable for a greater number of consumers.

2. Environmental benefits: Hybrid automobiles have a lower emission footprint compared to traditional petrol or diesel cars. Opting for a used hybrid car aids in lessening the ecological effect compared to the choice of a new car, considering the manufacturing process, particularly for the battery, involves carbon emission generation.

3. Fuel efficiency: Hybrid cars are known for their fuel efficiency, combining a petrol engine with an electric motor. Such efficiency can lead to considerable reductions in fuel expenses over the long term.

4. Technological features: Advanced features are common even in earlier hybrid models, presenting a sophisticated driving experience.

5. Government incentives: In the UK, hybrid vehicles typically incur lower road tax because of their reduced CO2 emissions. Hybrids could be subject to lower or zero congestion fees in areas like central London, depending on their emission levels.
