Toyota has been the manufacturers of the top selling hybrid cars in Japan. Their sales around the world have recently been on the fall because of various market factors. Honda, which is their biggest rival in the industry, is looking to gain further ground with their release of their hybrid version of the Fit compact green vehicle. The previous version of the Honda hybrid Fit subcompact, has evolved with an environmentally fit hybrid engine.

The new Honda Fit is currently in the market in Japan and the manufacturers are making plans for manufacturing more green cars with the planned introduction of the CR-Z sports car to the market. The vehicle is expected to be sold at a cost of approximately $19,160. This will be among the cheapest lines of motor vehicles in the market. The launch of these vehicles is expected to greatly benefit from the introduction of government benefits such as tax incentives into the market.

The company says that they have put in a lot of effort and creativity into the production of these vehicles. Unique features that the buyers can expect include the integrated motor assist system, simplicity, efficiency and the possibility for its expansion. Honda plans to introduce this line of vehicle into the United States. The model will be introduced into Europe next year though it will be under the name of Jazz. The tenacity of Honda in the market is what makes the company a must-watch in the industry. Honda has been locked in a fierce competition with the Toyota industry in the hybrid cars market.

According to Honda, their hybrid version uses a 1.3-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor. This allows it to achieve a mileage of at least 54 miles per gallon. The battery of the car is placed near the back luggage area. This has significant effect of increasing the interior space of the vehicle. The position of the battery also allows for greater flexibility for the sitting position of the car. This has been seen as a way of increasing the comfort of the vehicle. The software used in the functionality of the engine of the car has been slightly modified to give it a unique edge over the rest of the builds available in the market today. Though there are some speculations regarding the necessity of releasing the Fit model, the company sees this as way of increasing their market presence and establishing a deeper connection with their customers.
