Joining a 1.3 litre gasoline four-cylinder engine with a lightweight electric motor to create a total output of 98 horsepower and 123 lb.-ft. of torque (and one of the advantages of the electric motor is that the peak torque comes on at a mere 1,000 rpm) gives the Insight highway-capable performance while keeping fuel consumption low.
