Hybrid Head-to-Head: Honda Insight vs. Toyota Prius

The all-time U.S. hybrid champ, the Toyota Prius, faces a new contender, Honda's newly reintroduced Insight. It's a tight race, but there's a clear winner, and there's more to both than fuel economy.

Just say “hybrid” and many drivers immediately think of the Toyota Prius. Plenty of other automakers build hybrids, but the Prius has been the longest-running hybrid nameplate for sale in the U.S. It has consistently delivered excellent fuel economy, has been reliable in Consumer Reports’ Annual Auto Survey, and has evolved into a well-rounded car.
