Used 2021 Honda Insight Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Honda Insight is a small 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. Combined system output is 151 horsepower. Options are limited to various appearance packages that are available across all three trim levels. Highlighted standard features include:

LX
Starts you off with:

  • 16-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Push-button start
  • 5-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Single USB port
  • Six-speaker audio system

Honda Sensing
A suite of advanced driver aids standard on all Insights, which includes:

  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Honda and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Insight back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

EX
Adds some upgrades and nice-to-have features, such as:

  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Proximity keyless entry
  • 8-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Eight-speaker audio system
  • More powerful, 2.5-Amp USB charging ports
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

Touring
The top of the line trim adds:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • LED fog lights
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Sunroof
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Integrated navigation system
  • Wi-Fi hotspot capability
  • 10-speaker premium audio system

Which Insight trim does Edmunds recommend?

We prefer the middle ground and think the Insight EX is the best value for money. There's standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and, for 2021, standard blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
