The Insight was a visionary car - in its day. It is now an ageing car that is eclipsed by lots of others that offer lots more functionality and safety without the 2 seat compromise.

The rat and ferret are both mammals; but only the rat is a rodent.
The new Prius engine is claimed to be 40% efficient, as well.
The 32kW electric motor in the Ioniq hybrid is claimed to be 95% efficient, so there's that.
Do we know the Cd of the Ioniq?
Edit: Aerohead says the Ioniq is 0.24 - same as the new Prius, so it comes down to frontal area and drivetrain efficiency.
I wonder how the Ioniq (and the new Prius) warms up and / or stores heat from one drive to another?
