Honda Fit Shuttle Officially On Sale In Japan: In Gas And Hybrid


H?nda has launched a new compact wag?n in its home market ?f Japan. Called the Fit Shuttle, the mini MPV c?mes in tw? flavors: the Fit Shuttle 15X and the Fit Shuttle Hybrid. The 15X gets its name fr?m the 1.5-liter i-VTEC mot?r under the hood, which returns nearly 44 miles per gall?n using the Japanese 10�15 testing pr?cedure, which matches that ?f the standard Fit.

If y?u desire even more fuel efficiency, the Fit Shuttle Hybrid utilizes a 1.3-liter i-VTEC engine that's paired with H?nda's IMA hybrid system. The hybrid will leisurely sip fuel at a rate ?f nearly 59 miles per gall?n using the same test, again matching the regular Fit Hybrid.
Both Fit Shuttle variants are five-passenger pe?ple movers that feature a veritable arena ?f cargo space, relative t? the vehicle's compact size. St?rage is readily available above the l?w load fl??r, but there's more hiding underneath. The rear r?w ?f seats can be stowed, creating a flat carg? space. The varying rear end arrangements allow f?r a wide variety ?f cargo t? fit inside the Fit Shuttle.
Besides the cargo being c?mfortable, passengers will be entertained by the InterNavi system that's equipped ?n the Linkup Free system. Utilizing a 3G c?nnection, Linkup Free allows users t? quickly transmit and receive data while ?n the go.
The H?nda Fit Shuttle 15X starts at 1,610,000 Yen, ?r about $19,943 U.S. at current exchange rates. Pricing f?r the Fit Shuttle Hybrid begins at 1,810,000 Yen, which is ar?und $22,420 U.S.
