EV Channels Review
The 2019 Toyota Prius and 2019 Honda Insight are compared, highlighting their evolution as standard hybrids. The Prius offers excellent fuel economy (around 48 mpg observed), a refined ride with improved handling thanks to its multi-link suspension, and the practical advantage of available all-wheel drive and a hatchback body style. However, its centrally mounted instrument display, uninspiring brake pedal feel, and quirky shifter design are noted drawbacks. The Honda Insight is praised for its conventional sedan driving dynamics, spacious and well-designed interior, and excellent infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. Its main criticisms include a noisy engine and the lack of rear USB ports. Ultimately, both vehicles offer outstanding fuel economy (around 52 mpg combined rating) and are deemed great daily drivers. The reviewers lean towards the Insight for its more mature design and driving experience, while acknowledging the Prius's practicality, especially with AWD and its hatchback versatility.
