Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)','Every 2010 Insight is equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Similar to an automatic transmission, CVT is an advanced transmission that substitutes the gears found in more traditional transmissions and replaces them with a metal push-belt running between a pair of variable-width pulleys. Combined with the Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system, the CVT constantly adjusts to provide the most efficient drive ratio possible depending on torque load [1]. Honda\'s CVT provides better fuel economy [2] and acceleration when compared to a conventional transmission.','','\n [1] Horsepower and torque measured with IMA system.<br /><br />\n [2] 40 city/43 hwy/41 combined mpg. Based on 2010 EPA mileage estimates, reflecting new EPA fuel economy methods beginning with 2008 models. Use for comparison purposes only. Do not compare to models before 2008. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle.\n ');){kind=small} |

Dual-Stage, Multiple-Threshold Front Airbags (SRS)','The vehicle is equipped with dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags (SRS). One or both of these airbags will be deployed only in the event of a sufficient frontal impact. If deployed, these airbags are capable of being inflated at different rates depending on crash severity, seatbelt usage and other factors. Frontal airbags are designed to supplement the seatbelts to help reduce the likelihood of head and upper body injuries in frontal crashes.','','');){kind=small} |
Standard | Standard |
Front Side Airbags with Passenger-Side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)','In the event of a moderate-to-severe side impact, the side airbag inflates to help protect the driver\'s or front passenger\'s upper body. Plus the Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) utilizes sensors in the front passenger\'s seatback to detect the height and seating position of the occupant. If a child or small-statured adult is leaning into the deployment path of the side airbag, sensors deactivate it.','','*Airbags inflated for display purposes.');){kind=small} |

Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure Body Structure','The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is a Honda exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment and can help to more evenly disperse the forces transferred to other vehicles in a crash.','','');){kind=spacer} |
