The Honda Fit (marketed as Honda Jazz in some countries including Australia) was first introduced by Honda in 2001 and has had four generations. The GP5 and GP6 hybrid models are part of the third generation.

In Australia we are very familiar with the popular Honda Jazz but the Jazz hybrid was never offered for sale here.

The third generation hybrid Jazz / Fit was only sold in Japan and Malaysia and is the first model to use Honda’s Sport Hybrid Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive (i-DCD) system, an improvement over the previous Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid system.

The Honda Fit hybrid produces 96 kW (131 PS) / 156 Nm of torque from its 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC direct injection engine.

The Honda H1 internal high-output electric motor is rated at 22 kW (30 PS) and 160 Nm of torque.

This is the same powertrain used in the Honda Vezel hybrid and Grace hybrid.

The system utlises an IPU (Intelligent Power Unit) with lithium-ion battery, electric servo braking system with variable servo ratio control.

The Fit hybrid features Real Time AWD traction control and Reactive Force Pedal for improved traction on slippery roads and better fuel economy.

The transmission is a 7-speed dual clutch arrangement.

The GP5 and GP6 Fit hybrids can operate solely on electric power for short trips.

Fuel consumption is rated at 36.4 km/L (2.75 L/100 km) (JC08).

The Fit hybrid is a popular car in Japan so there is a large selection going through auction there every week – we can assist with the entire process from selecting the best example to shipping it to Australia.

We specialise in direct car import from Japan and have been sourcing vehicles to order for private Australian buyers for over 25 years. Every vehicle is hand-picked and we only source the very best.

We make it easy to import your own Honda Fit hybrid from Japan with physical inspections of vehicles by experienced staff at over 30 auctions every week in the Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, and Kyushu / Fukuoka regions.

Many vehicles in Japan are bought and sold by dealers for a quick profit between different auctions. Our service includes pre-checks for past auction records using JCHC, at no cost to you. We target the best condition, first-time auctioned vehicles for our clients.

Our thorough Japan auction inspections include checks of engine, transmission, air conditioning / electrics plus pictures inside, outside and underneath showing options / features and any condition issues.

We also ensure that any outstanding factory recalls are completed prior to export from Japan, which is essential before import to Australia / SEVS compliance.

Once your Fit hybrid has been exported from Japan all original paperwork and any additional items such as spare keys and books are sent to you by EMS. This includes the Export Certificate (shows up to the last two re-registration inspection dates and odometer readings, depending on vehicle age) for your peace of mind.
