Has the Honda Inspire been discontinued?
1 Answers
The vehicle has not been discontinued and is still on sale. The currently available model is the 2019 version, which is a mid-size sedan. It is equipped with either a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine or a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated hybrid engine. All variants come with a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). Functions of the transmission: Changing gear ratios: To meet the traction requirements under different driving conditions, allowing the engine to operate as efficiently as possible under favorable conditions and to meet various speed demands. Enabling reverse driving: To meet the need for the vehicle to move backward. Since the engine crankshaft generally only rotates in one direction, but the vehicle sometimes needs to move in reverse, the reverse gear in the transmission is used to achieve this. Interrupting power transmission: To halt power delivery to the drive wheels during engine start-up, idling, gear shifting, or when the vehicle needs to stop for power output. Engaging neutral gear: When the clutch is engaged, the transmission can cease power output. For example, this allows the driver to release the clutch pedal and leave the driver's seat without turning off the engine.
