Efficiency & Performance: Insight vs Accord Hybrid

To begin, both models feature an in-line 4-cylinder engine, along with an AC Synchronous Permanent-Magnet Electric Motor that delivers the high-level hybrid performance you expect. The Honda Accord Hybrid has a 2.0L motor, while the Insight features a 1.5L engine.

They also both achieve impressive gas mileage and horsepower for stop-free cruising, plus peppy acceleration:

Depending on your priorities, either one of these hybrid models could be a better fit for you. If maximum range is most important, go for the Insight. However, if you want even quicker acceleration, the Accord Hybrid will provide.

The selectable drive modes in each model are part of the 3-Mode Drive System, which includes:

• ECON Mode: Maximizes range and efficiency across the board.
• Sport Mode: Speeds up the acceleration and throttle response for a more spirited ride.
• EV Mode: Propels you forward on short trips using only the electric motor.

Depending on your present mood and efficiency needs, these modes allow you to more precisely tailor your ride in both the 2021 Honda Insight and the 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid.

Interior & Technology: Honda Accord Hybrid vs Honda Insight

Inside, you will find Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration in each vehicle. This allows you to access your favorite apps, music library, and more directly through the touchscreen display for added convenience.

Moonroof upgrades are also available in both models. This extra window to the world invites natural light and fresh air into the cabin, so you can connect with the outdoors while you travel.

If having a bit more room in the back is key for you, the Honda Accord Hybrid offers 16.7 cubic feet of cargo room. However, the 2021 Honda Insight will also easily accommodate your belongings in its 15.1 cubic feet of trunk space.

Honda Safety Suite: 2021 Insight vs 2021 Accord Hybrid

Another commonality between the 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid and the Honda Insight is the standard Honda Sensing® safety system, which includes the following and more:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): If it detects an impending collision, it can activate the brakes automatically to help mitigate the impact.
• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): Engages steering and braking if you try to change lanes without signaling.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow: Automatically adapts to the flow of traffic, so you can relax on your commute.

These systems act like your own personal sonar system to boost your awareness and keep you safe as you navigate the open road.
