This fall, Honda’s Fit will be on sale in Japan priced at 1.6 million yen hoping to become an instant hit. Honda will be launching the cute little car in the 2010 Auto Show at Paris in October under the name Honda Fit Hybrid. Its petrol version, called Jazz/Honda Fit is already in the markets. The Hybrid Fit will have the distinction of being the first hybrid subcompact car model marketed by Honda. The new hybrid from Honda stable:
Honda Fit is the third of the hybrid series Honda has added to the CR-Z hybrid cars. The neat little line-up includes Civic, Accord and Honda Insight. The economical Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) setup used in the Insight would be incorporated in the Honda Fit Hybrid as well
Electric & petrol Unit in tandem:
Reports indicate that Fit will be fitted with Honda’s 1.3 litre/4-cylinder petrol unit to work in tandem with a 9.7kW electric motor and is expected to generate about 97hp. Plans are afoot to launch the automatic (CVT) version as well as the manual Fit Hybrid version. Usual features:
All features like brake-energy regeneration that are usually found in Honda hybrids are found along with an Economy button for maximum fuel efficiency. As usual with the hybrid cars – which are known for not being very fast – Honda Fit Hybrid is also projected more for its efficiency rather than for its speed.
Hybrid system – Japanese favourite:
While European market still looks at diesel-driven small cars, Japan leads in going for smaller, more compact and more energy-efficient hybrid models. This has been more due to considerable government subsidies on green-car models. But the Japanese customers will benefit more than before thanks to the competitive deals that will certainly be offered even if subsidies are lifted.
Sales expectations:
Making its advent in the 2010 Auto Show at Paris, the sales are expected to start by 2010 end or early 2011. The car priced at a premium is expected to have the additional attraction of mileage – which in the upper sixties makes it a good buy.
Honda’s future goals:
Honda is firm in its conviction that future market in automobiles will be in small cars – that too in hybrid versions of small cars. The firm is going ahead with its plans accordingly and is busy with the production of 2011 CR-Z vehicles. Seeing that the hybrids have advantages like low price, cost competitiveness, and fuel efficiency, their hopes seem to be well founded.

I am curious to know whether Honda has figured out a way to make these cars inexpensively or if this is more of a ‘get what you pay for’ scenario, and the car is stripped of features. Are these cars comfortable? Safe?
Would this be the first manual transmission hybrid? Would this be an advantage? I figure that all the computer systems in the car would make an automatic more efficient.
Thanks for the info. 2 Miguel Dorta: September 27th, 2010 I think that gasoline cars will be replaced by a new technology only when less costly. Eventually it will happen but I just don’t find products in the market that I can afford. I am about to buy a new car and I don’t find any hybrid or electric car in less than 20,000 including tax. I cannot afford more than that. 3 Francisco A Roque: September 27th, 2010 Only they can think ‘fuel economy’ Detroit can only think ‘power’ and ‘60 miles is 2-3 seconds’ while big oil thinks of increasing the price of it every SECOND.
No wonder Detroit is in ruins while Japan is prospering. 4 Angelica: September 27th, 2010 What is the projected fuel efficiency? When discussing hybrids, that is a key piece of information. 5 Ralph: September 27th, 2010 I have sent a thread you might be interested in that sort of goes along with your article regarding cleaner energy. Disregard if you have already seen this…..
http://www.cleanfleetreport.com/renewables/ford-focus-electric-car-plugin-hybrid/
3 key items here.
1-Using solar to power a factory (lots of robotics used).
2-Factory happens to build electric cars (they could probably add a swappable lithium battery to expand the range).
3-No mention of using a carport type structure to trickle charge parked vehicles.
http://www.ecofriend.org/entry/11-charging-stations-designed-to-refuel-evs-with-renewable-energy/
Any thoughts on this? Solar powered robotics can do it (build cars or anything for that matter, even other robotics) cheaper (after initial investment).
Also resolves the electric grid expansion problem somewhat by using lithium back ups with the utility power. 6 Proff. Pitt: September 28th, 2010 Auto industry perfectly knows some things are true in the correct way to the feature technology, but marketing depts are afraid to radical changes and come out with an stop in sells, until people resist to change concepts about the car they needs.
1.- The power is and will be electric motors.
2.- The energy to generate electricity is Hydrogen
3.- The batteries are recipient to accumulate the energy
4.- Size and weight of car must to be 4 to 5 times less than actual gasoline cars.
5.- H2 Price per miles must be 1/4 to 1/5 than now prices, that the problem. 7 abhishek: October 25th, 2010 i’m curious to know about up to what extend this technology will reach to give us a perfect car..
is any other energy is more economical than hybrid or biofuels? What do you think? Feel free to leave a comment... and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!

Shopping Tools Advertisement Honda to Add Three New Hybrids: 2010 Fit, CR-Z, and Small Hatchback - Car News Three new hybrids alongside the Civic hybrid will bring total to half a million per year for Honda. BY ALISA PRIDDLE May 2008 Pages: 1 Photos Photos (24) Visit Our Buyer's Guide » Honda CR-Z › Overview › Specifications › Price with Options › Photos & 360° View › Get a Free Quote News & Reviews 2011 Honda CR-Z EX CVT - Short Take Road Test 2011 Honda CR-Z EX - Road Test 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid - First Drive Review 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid - Video 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid - Official Photos and Info Honda CR-Z Concept 2009 - Auto Shows Top Competitors Honda Fit Honda Insight Mini Cooper 3-door hatchback Scion tC Toyota Prius Honda plans to sell half a million hybrids per year globally with three new vehicles supplementing the Honda Civic hybrid in its lineup.The automaker’s hybrid strategy includes a hybrid version of the Honda Fit, production of the CR-Z hybrid sports car concept, and an all-new, small five-door hatchback hybrid, CEO Takeo Fukui announced during his mid-year address in Tokyo.First up will be the five-door hatch, which will use a completely new small-car platform dedicated to hybrid propulsion that won’t compromise utility or space for five passengers and their gear. The nameless car, sized smaller than a Civic, will be introduced in early 2009, with about half the anticipated 200,000 global sales earmarked for North America. It takes direct aim at the segment-leading Toyota Prius.Lithium Ion Batteries Not Ready for Prime TimeHonda is billing the new hybrid as a lightweight and low-cost car, saying a “significant cost reduction in Integrated Motor Assist components will result in the most affordable hybrid vehicle to date.” Smaller packaging of the nickel-metal-hydride battery (lithium ion battery technology is not quite ready for this car) and processing unit make it possible to position them below the rear cargo area so as to not infringe on cargo space in a hatchback, the automaker says. Also promised are technologies to assist more fuel-efficient driving, a vague description presumably to address criticism that some customers are disappointed with real-world mileage figures from their hybrids.The hatchback will be built on a new line at Honda’s Suzaka, Japan, plant, which already builds the Civic hybrid. Capacity at the plant will grow from 70,000 to 250,000, with room to expand even further—which tells us this is but the first of many hybrid announcements to come.Design-wise, the smaller five-door will look similar to the Accord-sized FCX Clarity fuel-cell vehicle that converts hydrogen to electricity, with water as the only emission.The CR-Z concept was first shown at the 2007 Tokyo auto show. CR-Z stands for “Compact Renaissance Zero” to denote Honda’s attempt to create a fun and sexy sports car that is also a fuel-efficient hybrid. Looking like the cult favorite, 1980s CRX compact, especially in the vertical glass section at the rear, the concept has a low-slung grille, aggressive LED headlights, and dual exhaust tips exiting through the rear bumper.Honda to Keep Fit Hybrid Cost ReasonableAdding a hybrid version of the popular and 10Best-winning Fit seems much like putting a second layer of icing on an already tasty cake. But in his press conference, Fukai is quoted as saying the premium for the hybrid over the conventional Fit cannot exceed $2000. The current price of a Fit ranges from $14,585 to $16,705. The hybrid reportedly would go on sale by 2015 with the third-generation of the B-segment car.While Toyota gets most of the credit for the burgeoning hybrid market, Honda was actually first on the scene in the U.S. with the Insight in 1999. But consumers have not snapped up its subsequent hybrids, forcing the automaker to drop its Accord hybrid from the 2008 model line due to slow sales.Up to 200 Can Lease FCX Clarity Fuel-Cell VehicleMeanwhile, Honda finally provides volume figures for the next-generation FCX Clarity four-passenger sedan, which customers will begin leasing for $600 a month in the U.S. in July and in Japan later in the year. Honda says it will lease up to 200 Claritys over the next three years.Honda has been winnowing down potential customers for month. They must live in California near Santa Monica, Torrance, or Irvine for public access to hydrogen stations. The first Clarity, with a driving range of 270 miles, is scheduled to roll off an assembly line June 16 in Japan. Subscribe to Car and Driver magazine Pages: 1 Photos Stumble It Yahoo!
