“It's excellent in town and local driving. Very comfortable. It's not good on the highway. The hybrid powertrain is noisy during high-speed driving and hills. Front passenger seat is too low for someone with long legs (6'3" +)”
2022 Honda Insight: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Honda Insight is the loss of the LX trim, which makes EX the new entry point. Otherwise, this final U.S. model year of the third-generation Insight is largely unchanged from 2021.
About the 2022 Honda Insight
3rd-generation Insight sedan (2019-2022), fourth and final U.S. model year.
Honda positions the Insight as a hybrid sedan for people who want excellent fuel economy without the look or feel of a specialized eco car. In Honda’s 2022 feature guide, the emphasis is on strong efficiency, pleasant driving manners, standard safety tech, sleek styling, and a roomy five-passenger cabin. In practical terms, it is the Insight’s core appeal: hybrid savings, everyday comfort, and familiar sedan usability in a cleaner-looking package than many rivals.
The 2022 Insight comes in two forms: the well-equipped EX and the more comfort-focused Touring. EX has an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, blind-spot monitoring, and Honda’s safety suite, while Touring adds heated leather-trimmed seats, a moonroof, navigation, and a 10-speaker audio system.
