Filed under: Hybrid, Honda, Japan
Over on its Japanese site, Honda is currently teasing three upcoming hybrids, including an exclusive Insight hatchback dubbed - are you ready for this? - Insight Exclusive.
A formal announcement from Honda regarding the trio of hybrid is expected to come soon. In the meantime, here's a bit info we've gleaned from Green Carview's report: The mini-minivan Honda Freed will soon get the hybrid treatment and two gas-electric versions will emerge: the five-passenger Freed Hybrid and the seven-passenger Freed Spike Hybrid. Both versions will feature Honda's 1.5-liter iVTEC four-cylinder engine and the automaker's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) mild hybrid setup.
Moving on to the Insight Exclusive, word is this will also feature Honda's 1.5-liter engine and IMA system and come equipped with "specialized" exterior and interior bits deserving of that Exclusive title. The Insight Exclusive will reportedly launch in Japan sometime this fall.Honda teases Insight Exclusive and Freed Spike hybrids originally appeared on AutoblogGreen on Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:17:00 EST.
