2019 Honda Insight Hybrid The 2019 Honda Insight Hybrid looks nothing like what we've come to accept as that 'hybrid look'. When I picked an Insight up from Rock Honda in the Los Angeles suburb of Fontana, California I literally did a couple of double-takes. Because the Insight Hybrid looks like an Accord from one angle and a Civic from another angle. When in reality it's really a blend of both! But still, it looks nothing like a hybrid.

I recently picked one up from our friends at Rock Honda in the Los Angeles suburb of Fontana, California. So Rock Honda put me in a 2019 Honda Insight Hybrid. This is a four-door sedan that’s also a hybrid. Which is a very easy-to-forget point when looking at the vehicle. That’s simply because it looks like a four-door car. A normal sedan. Not a half-bubble space-shippy thing - like hybrids have and some still do look like. 2019 Honda Insight from Rock Honda. So, when the new Honda Insight Hybrid first came out there were a lot of billboards promoting it. And they proclaimed something like “proof that a hybrid can be stylish”. And you know what – those billboards are spot on. "The 2019 Insight is a great looking ride." The 2019 Insight is a great looking ride. If you’re familiar with the current Honda model line-up; at first glance, the Insight might have you thinking it’s a sophisticated Accord or maybe you catch the angle where it looks like a sporty Civic – and both would be correct.
