Honda says it has improved the specification and settings of its Insight hybrid in response to early customer feedback, with suspension adjusted to improve ride and a higher-spec interior.

The changes made across the range are what Honda described as a “direct response to the comments received from early customers and the media. The initial focus was on suspension, to which improvements have been made to address negative feedback on ride and comfort levels.”

There are also two new paint colours – pearl blue and red.
