The insight does the fuel cut thing. It applies a light braking effort and dips into regen when you start to lift your foot off the throttle. It holds the engine above idle, 1500 rpms most of the time with light load.
Light pressure on the throttle allows it to coast. Now if you are in sport mode it engine brakes on top of this regen braking effort and it runs the engine to 3 thousand rpms. This isnt done in econ or regular drive mode.
The middle and top models with nav have steering wheel paddles to select a of 7 ratios for a fake gear.
I couldnt say about coasting with a cvt vs a non cvt. Depends on the fluid in the tranny I guess?
