Honda is a company that doesn’t like to follow the crowd. So, while it competes in most of the traditional sectors of the car market, in each case it does something a little bit different.

The Jazz, for example, might look like just another rival to Britain’s best-selling car, the Ford Fiesta, but it’s actually much more practical than its rivals, with a flexible boot and Tardis-like interior.

The bigger Civic is also a practical choice, but it’s mainly distinguished by having eye-catching, love-it-or-hate-it styling, despite competing in a sector of the market that’s usually more conservative than a blue rosette.

And while it may not seem so radical now, Honda’s large SUV, the CR-V, was one of the first to forego any pretence of being an off-roader and instead focus on on-road driving dynamics.

INSIGHT

The Honda Insight hybrid will cost from 15,490 when it goes on sale in April. That sum will get you a SE-trim car that comes with alloy wheels, climate control, electric windows and mirrors, along with steering wheel-mounted stereo controls. More important to most Insight buyers will be the car's CO2 emissions of 101g/km and its combined economy of 64.2mpg.

The Insight has two further trims and Honda expects the mid-spec ES model to be the most popular choice for buyers. Priced from 16,790, ES cars come with 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic lights and wipers, heated front seats, leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearknob, gearshift paddles and a USB port for MP3 players. Top spec ES-T cars cost from 18,390 and get hands-free telephone and sat-nav.
