The Insight was launched April in the UK as the lowest priced hybrid on the market and became the best selling hybrid for the month. The Insight ranked as the top-selling vehicle in Japan for the month of April , a first for a hybrid model. In the following month, December , Insight became the first hybrid available in North America, followed seven months later by the Toyota Prius.

The first-generation Insight was manufactured as a two-seater, launching in a single trim level with a manual transmission and optional air conditioning. In the second year of production two trim levels were available: manual transmission with air conditioning , and continuously variable transmission CVT with air conditioning.
