Honda Fit Hybrid Review;



The Honda Fit which will be released soon is Honda's latest subcompact hybrid vehicle. This model may not be available in the United States, although there is no official word one way or another. Chevrolet models can be purchased from New Orleans Chevrolet Dealers throughout the country that are fuel efficient, and the Chevy Volt extended range electric vehicle will also be available at Chevy dealerships soon. Many automakers are looking to release hybrid vehicles, and Europe is experimenting with putting diesel engines on small vehicles to improve fuel efficiency. Port Charlotte Used Cars dealers also sell several vehicle models that are fuel efficient and well built.

The Ford Fusion hybrid is one of the first popular American hybrid models, and this vehicle can be found at Memphis Ford Dealers. The Honda Fit will definitely be released in Europe. The model will feature 87 hp with a 1.3 liter gasoline engine combined with an electric engine, and it will feature the latest hybrid engine technology from Honda. Honda is adding hybrid engines more to its smaller vehicle models for the optimal fuel efficiency. Other competitors put hybrid engines in larger vehicles in order to greatly increase their fuel efficiency. Toyota is another automaker that has a small vehicle, the Prius, that gets excellent fuel economy.

The Fit Hybrid will debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show and it will have similarities to the Honda Insight Hybrid especially its hybrid drive system. Performance figures were expected to be anywhere from 60 to 65 mpg for the vehicle's fuel economy with CO2 emissions being around 100g/km. The efficiency for this model would be greater than many other hybrid models, and it would force rivals to improve their own hybrid technology. The current Honda Fit non-hybrid vehicle starts at $14,900, and the hybrid system will be expected to add an additional $2,000 to $2,500 to the price of the model.
