2010 Honda Insight to Feature Eco Assist
The 2010 Honda Insight made its world debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show but this past week it was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show for its North American debut. Part of Honda’s press coverage of the 2010 Honda Insight included details about the new ecological drive assist program (Eco Assist).
“Eco Assist combines multiple functions: the driver-activated ECON mode that optimizes control of the continuously variable transmission, engine and related powertrain components to conserve fuel; and a feedback function that uses speedometer background color to provide real-time guidance on environmentally responsible driving. An economy scoring function further provides feedback about current driving techniques, as well as feedback on cumulative, long-term driving style†(Source: Honda)
The Eco Assist will enable drivers to manage their driving habits in real time in order to maximize fuel efficiency. The 2010 Honda Insight will be available at your local Honda dealer beginning in the spring of 2009.
