The Fit Hybrid is likely to become the second most fuel-efficient hybrid, right behind the Toyota Prius (51/48 mpg). The auto industry is still figuring out how to rate the fuel economy of plug-in cars, such as the Nissan LEAF and Chevy VoltThe Fit, marketed as the Jazz in Europe, will use Honda’s IMA system— an 87-horsepower 1.3-liter engine combined with a CVT gearbox—currently found in Honda's Insight and CR-Z hybridsThe new Fit/Jazz is updated for 2011—with revised headlights and rear lights, a new front grille, and restyled bumpers and tailgate. Inside, there’s a darker single-color dashboard and blue-lit dials and instruments. The new hybrid is also available with leather trim, the first time this has been available on a Jazz model in EuropeThough the Fit’s outer shell takes up very little pavement, it yields an unusually large interior space. Total passenger volume is 90.1 cubic feet, which is just a hair short of the larger Honda Civic. It offers more head and legroom up front than competing subcompacts, such as the Nissan Versa and Toyota YarisWith so many 2011
