Below is the spy picture of the new hybrid from Honda.
Honda say that the exterior design would be based on the FCX clarity concept which means the above vehicle would see a number of changes when it becomes production ready.
From the Honda press release
"Featuring seating for five passengers, distinctive styling and high-value amenities, the new hybrid will present an appealing package. Taking advantage of reductions in the size of components, the battery and the internal processing unit will be positioned below the rear cargo area, allowing the hatchback design to provide adequate cargo space to meet the needs of a family. Additionally, various technologies, including a function to assist more fuel-efficient driving, are being installed to achieve a further improvement of practical fuel efficiency."
Honda also plans to introduce another unique small hybrid vehicle based on the CR-Z sports car first shown at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show as well as a Fit hybrid model. Including the Civic Hybrid, these four hybrid vehicles are expected to reach combined annual global sales of approximately 500,000 units.
As far as the Indian market is concerned yes we may see some more hybrids from Honda[apart from the Civic hybrid] but don't expect anything soon.
