The 2009 Insight is here! It will be arriving in showrooms on Earth Day in April to be priced around $15,000 US. Fuel consumption will be around 50-60mpg and around 4.5-5.0L per 100km in city/highway. This is one of the vehicles on Toyota's radar at the moment. With similar fuel consumption, just slightly lower but with thousands less, how will Toyota keep competitive with this new hybrid? There have been reports that Toyota will keep the current Prius for a few years longer and make it cheaper to compare with the Insight. There will be two Insight models, LX and EX.
What do you think of it? A viable competitor to the Toyota Prius? Comment!
