Honda Insight Steering System
The Insight uses an innovative high-mounted, center-pivot rack-and-pinion,
electric power steering (EPS) system. EPS offers the following advantages over
conventional hydraulically assisted steering systems:
- Simpler and more compact (there is no need for a pump and hoses)
- Power loss is minimized
- System's compactness and simplicity offer more design freedom in terms of
placement within the chassis
- Smoother operating, more responsive to driver input
