2010 Honda Pilot

Drive with a purpose, a mission and the knowledge that you have power to spare.

Plentiful Power
Every Pilot is powered by a 3.5-liter i-VTEC® V-6 engine, which delivers an impressive 250 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque.

Powerfully Efficient
Honda's innovative Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®) helps to increase mileage[1] and lower emissions by automatically deactivating and reactivating multiple cylinders, depending on the driver's needs.

Ride Smooth
4-wheel independent suspension features a MacPherson front strut/multi-link rear design for a smooth ride and excellent handling.

Variable Torque Management®
The Variable Torque Management® 4-wheel drive system (VTM-4®) automatically transfers power to the rear wheels when the system detects loss of front-wheel drive traction.
[1] 17 city/23 hwy/19 combined mpg for 2WD models and 16 city/22 hwy/18 combined mpg for 4WD models. Based on 2011 EPA mileage estimates. Use for comparison purposes only. Do not compare to models before 2008. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle.

2010 Honda Insight Hybrid

Hybrid Heart
The centerpiece of the all-new Honda Insight is the latest Integrated Motor Assist IMA® system. This next-generation hybrid system benefits from everything we have learned as the first automaker to bring a hybrid to the market in the U.S., the original Insight. Compared to the system in the Civic Hybrid, the battery pack was improved, resulting in cost savings and reduced weight. Its location also allows for greater cabin space. The Insight features a highly efficient, 1.3-liter, 8-valve, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine and DC-brushless electric motor, and it's equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Efficiency Booster
The unique Eco Assist ™ [1] system enables increased efficiency [2] for improved performance through two elements, an ECON™ button [1] that controls certain functions of the car, and a feedback system that lets you monitor your driving performance. Eco Scoring at the conclusion of the drive provides drivers with even more of an incentive to drive green.

2010 Honda FCX Clarity

From the start, Honda engineers designed this car to be tons of fun to drive. The FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) has a smooth and powerful electric engine for a great overall driving experience.
Information gleaned from multiple generations of Honda fuel cell vehicles pays off right now. Compared to the previous model, the powertrain on this next-generation FCX Clarity FCEV:

* Is over 397 pounds lighter
* Has 120% better power-to-weight ratio
* Is 20% more fuel efficient
* Is 45% more compact and 10% more energy-efficient

Free and Clear
First, the basics: the FCX Clarity is an electric vehicle. A fuel cell vehicle is powered by an electric motor running on electricity generated by a hydrogen-powered fuel cell stack. The more efficient Honda E-Drive electric motor lets you drive with peace of mind knowing that you are helping to reduce the amount of CO2 being released in our atmosphere. The compact coaxial motor is quieter and can run at higher rpm, for greater efficiency and speed.

Get Vertical
The Vertical Flow (V Flow) fuel cell stack is one of Honda’s greatest breakthroughs in this area. The new design is smaller, allowing for better packaging efficiency. With a smaller stack, there’s room for more people. This ingenious design allows higher cell voltage stability and reduces the amount of heat generated. Gravity also helps with drainage of the excess water.

Added Power
The compact, high-efficiency lithium-ion battery pack is used as a supplemental power source capturing lost energy during deceleration and braking. The new lithium-ion battery delivers improved performance and energy recovery in a more lightweight, compact package. The new battery is significantly lighter and smaller than the ultra-capacitor of the 2005 FCX, allowing it to be stowed under the rear seat. This gives the car more passenger space and a bigger trunk.

Low Profile
Stylish? Definitely. It’s time to take another look at the FCX Clarity FCEV. This new model has a lower floor and sleeker overall design thanks to integration of the more compact stack and smaller powertrain. Thin A-pillars allow better visibility. A flat-bottom underbody reduces aerodynamic drag and increases efficiency.

2010 Honda CR-V

The CR-V sports plenty of power and agility to make driving a thrill.
i-VTEC® Engineering
The 180-hp, DOHC i-VTEC® engine provides both low-rpm torque as well as plenty of horsepower at higher revs.

Easy Shifting
A 5-speed automatic transmission makes for smooth shifts and power when you need it. It also features our Grade Logic Control System, which helps put an end to gear-hunting when climbing uphill or driving back down.

The Drive Itself
The CR-V utilizes MacPherson strut front suspension for a better drive. And available Real Time™ 4-wheel drive helps increase performance during adverse road conditions.
