Used 2020 Honda Insight Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Honda Insight is a five-passenger hybrid sedan that comes in three trim levels: LX, EX and Touring. All are driven by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that primarily acts as a generator to supply power to an electric motor that drives the front wheels (and takes over powering the wheels at freeway speeds). Combined system output is 151 horsepower.

The base LX offers the same quality and driving experience as higher trims but is missing some desirable features such as the improved infotainment system with smartphone integration. You do get Bluetooth connectivity and a basic 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, along with LED headlights, push-button ignition and a rearview camera. All Insight trims also come standard with a suite of active safety features and driver aids (Honda Sensing) that include adaptive cruise control.

The EX adds an 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an eight-speaker stereo and a split-folding rear seat, among other upgrades. It also gets Honda's LaneWatch camera, which displays a view of the driver's right-side blind spot. (A traditional blind-spot monitoring system isn't offered.) In general, though, the EX's upgrades overall make the Insight easier to live with.

The range-topping Touring trim gives up a few mpg of efficiency (and a tiny bit of trunk space) but adds a lot of extra luxury items. Highlights include a sunroof, leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable seats, a navigation system, onboard Wi-Fi, and a 10-speaker premium sound system.

Which Insight trim does Edmunds recommend?

We like the EX for its added standard features. These include useful extras such as folding rear seats that improve cargo flexibility and an upgraded infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The EX also returns better fuel economy than the top-tier Touring, which trades a little efficiency for more luxuries.
