Honda to focus on increasing hybrid volume with core models

As the next step in the company’s electrification strategy in North America, Honda will focus on increasing hybrid volume of core models - the CR-V, Accord and, in the future, the Civic.

To make room for these moves, Honda will conclude Insight production in June. Honda will introduce all-new models of the CR-V Hybrid this year, followed by the Accord Hybrid, which will eventually make up 50 percent of the sales mix of each model. Hybrids will represent the top and best performing models in the lineup.

With the conclusion of Insight production, the Indiana Auto Plant will focus on building the CR-V, CR-V Hybrid and Civic Hatchback, several of Honda’s most popular models. The 3rd-generation Insight is one of America's top-selling compact hybrids, with more than 70,000 sold since it was introduced in 2018.

Honda sales of electrified vehicles set a new annual record in 2021, topping 100,000 units for the first time, led by the CR-V Hybrid, Accord Hybrid and Insight. It was the 5th straight year of increased sales for Honda electrified vehicles.

More information about the future Civic Hybrid, including timing, will be available closer to the model’s launch.
