TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Honda Motors said it would outfit the Jazz for European and Asian markets with a hybrid engine starting in 2011.
The Honda Jazz is called the Honda Fit in North America, but the version sold in the United States will not be outfitted with the newer engine, The New York Times reported Thursday.
The company said it would use the same engine and gear box for the hybrid Jazz that is used in the Honda Insight and Honda Civic hybrids.
Honda spokesman Chris Naughton said there are no plans to introduce a hybrid version of the Fit to North American markets.
Honda said it would introduce a new Jazz at the international automobile show in Paris in September. The new Jazz -- a jazzier Jazz? -- will include a remodeled front grill and headlights, the Times said.
