Sales of the Fit Hybrid began in Japan in October 2010.
The hybrid version started at ¥1.59 million (around US$20,000), the lowest price for a gasoline-hybrid electric vehicle sold in Japan.
The Fit Hybrid featured a 1.3-liter engine and electric motor, with an estimated fuel economy of 3.3 litres per 100 kilometres (86 mpg‑imp; 71 mpg‑US) measured in accordance with Japanese 10–15 cycle.
The car used a parallel hybrid system that works in tandem with the gasoline engine.
The parallel hybrid system is simple and lightweight while enhancing driving performance and fuel economy.

The European version, called Jazz Hybrid, was unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and became available in early 2011.
Honda Fit/Jazz for the European and Japanese markets featured revised headlights, new front grille, a leather seating option and a new Lime Green exterior color choice.
Fuel economy estimated in accordance with European standard is around 65 miles per imperial gallon (4.3 L/100 km; 54 mpg‑US) and CO₂ emissions of 104 g/km.
It has the lowest carbon emission of automatic car in the B-segment.
When the car is driven in a low and steady speed, the car switches to EV mode, and releases no carbon emissions: the engine shuts down, and the car is powered solely by the electric motor.

A compact Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) is located under the rear cargo area, the Jazz Hybrid maintains the same fully adjustable seating configuration as the gasoline-powered model and the same spacious area for optimum use and storage.

With the fuel tank placed in the center, plus an ultra-thin electric motor and compact IPU, it claims to achieve an efficient weight distribution.

In an interview, Kohei Hitomi, the project leader of Fit hybrid, admitted that lowering CO₂ further will affect some attributes that buyers of the car value: a bigger electric motor and battery sacrifice spaces utility, and improving aerodynamics might make side mirrors smaller.
He said there are benefits for customers to keep all the versatility.
The drivetrain is the same drive system as the Honda Insight.
The advantages of the system are low cost, low weight and that it can be combined with either manual transmission or continuous variable transmission.
The car is better-suited than its diesel competitors in areas where superminis are most common: city centres.
It is more economical in urban conditions.
Thanks to the instant torque of the electric motor, it has a much better engine response.

The hybrid version was not available in the United States.
According to Koichi Kondo, Executive Vice President of Honda:
"As for the future, it's open to question.
We will carefully be watching the market situation."
Hitomi, as reported by Automotive News, believed that the second-generation Fit offered in the North American market had very good fuel mileage, as it was and questioned if buyers were willing to pay extra for marginal mileage gains.

It is reported about 86,000 Fit Hybrid are sold in 2011.
