Interior Comfort and Cargo

The 2004 Honda Insight's interior is spacious and surprisingly comfortable for a hybrid vehicle. The seats are supportive, and there is plenty of head- and legroom for both front and rear passengers. The cabin is well-appointed, with high-quality materials and a clean, modern design. The gauges are easy to read, and the controls are within easy reach. Cargo space is limited due to the Insight's small size and the presence of the hybrid battery pack. However, there is enough room for a few suitcases or grocery bags. The rear seats can be folded down to increase cargo capacity.
