I can't find a top rated speed for the Insight II? Anyone know what it is?

Thanks,
Wes

 

I haven't had the desire to try a high speed run with the Insight. I've had it up to 75 but prefer highway speeds of 60-65. I seem to ge best highway mileage at 58-62 depending on wind.

 

112 mph

At 112, the engine will cut out because of the ECU, to lower the speed.

Sorry, I forgot where I read it... I remember my sister asking yesterday and the Dealer was saying something about 100, and then later at night I saw it online where it was 112... which I think is an odd number... but I think it's because the limit is actually 180 kph (180 kph is 112.5 mph)... whatever.

edit: found it.

Well, I'd say the limit is quite reasonable being that none of us are ever likely to need to exceed that.

 

i managed 115 on my HCH I. but it was down an empty 3 lane highway going down a very steep and straight section. it felt like it could go more to be honest. first and last time i did it, just wanted to see how fast it could go. i was more worried about the tires not handling it. i was expecting some kind of limiter to kick in but nothing did.
