How many spark plugs does a Honda Insight have?

It depends on which generation you own: the early 1999–2006 Honda Insight used three spark plugs, while later models (2010–2014 and the current 2019–present) use four spark plugs.


First generation Honda Insight (1999–2006)


Engine and spark plug count


The original Insight was powered by a small 1.0-liter three-cylinder petrol engine paired with Honda’s IMA hybrid system. That three-cylinder configuration requires three spark plugs—one for each cylinder—to ignite the air‑fuel mixture.


Second generation Honda Insight (2010–2014)


Engine and spark plug count


This generation moved to a larger inline-four engine (about 1.3 liters) in combination with the IMA system. With four cylinders, it uses four spark plugs—one per cylinder.


Current generation Honda Insight (2019–present)


Engine and spark plug count


The contemporary Insight uses a 1.5-liter Atkinson-cycle inline-four paired with the hybrid system. As a four-cylinder engine, it also employs four spark plugs.


Summary: Across the Honda Insight lineup, spark plug count tracks the number of engine cylinders. Early models (1999–2006) have three spark plugs; later generations (2010–2014 and 2019–present) have four.
