Which one is best for you? CT200h vs Prius vs Insight ? Obviously they are levelled by its own price. For us, driving a Prius is an unforgettable moment compared to Insight. The noise level is kept to minimum, the comfort is the best we’ve ever tested. With the price between Insight and CT200h, Prius at RM139k is a good choice for those aiming a car above RM100k. The acceleration is amazing. The electric motor really do its job, fully zero emission at 40km/h by electric drive. You didnt notice any engine start sound when you want to begin your journey with Prius.
While CT200h, another extra luxury and extra features hybrid cars by Lexus. Using the same hybrid engine in Prius. Starting price on the road is RM173k. It has a better looks of course between the 3 hybrid cars available in Malaysia.
Driving an Insight is just like driving normal Honda cars like Jazz or City. nothing so special about this hybrid except for the electric motor that helps in gaining more mileage and the dashboard meter with hybrid indicators that encourage you to drive economically. The size is smaller and compact not like the spacious Prius. The pickup of 1.3 litre hybrid engine is just enough and nothing more that can impress us. But this is the best choice for those who eager for hybrid car with most affordable price.
Any opinion about the three hybrids from you? please share here.
