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} |
