Automotive News says that Americans won't be getting the hatchback in the picture, but will instead be getting (1) a hybrid sedan Fit, and (2) a small hybrid crossover SUV based on the Fit. The 2015 Fit will sport a 1.5L Atkinson-cycle engine coupled to a 22-kw electric motor & battery with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and will allow for electric-only driving mode. There may also be a 1.5L gas engine version with a 6-speed manual. Both sound pretty good to me!
I wonder if their SUV Fit would be a Kia Soul competitor. I'm a big fan of the Fit; a hybrid version sounds nice for sure. I'd imagine a sedan Fit would be something like a Nissan Versa sedan. Although, I really liked the hatchback Fit that I had. My wife has a 2013 Civic and it is an amazingly nice car. Like really surprisingly great - drives like it's on glass, super quiet engine, steering so light that it's like a video game. Definitely be interested to see if the 2015 Fits will be plug-in models (re: electric-only driving)!
