What’s the Difference?
Powertrain & Performance
Fit non-hybrid: Powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine (naturally aspirated), producing about 89 kW and 145 Nm of torque paired with a CVT automatic.

Fit Hybrid: Combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor & battery (Honda’s e:HEV system). The combined output is around 90 kW and 253 Nm of torque, delivering stronger low-end pull and smooth acceleration.


What this means in real life:
The hybrid often feels more responsive from a standstill thanks to electric torque.
Business Day
The non-hybrid is adequate for everyday driving and lighter overall weight, which some drivers prefer for simplicity.

Fuel consumption

Non-Hybrid: ~5.5 L/100 km

Hybrid: ~3.7 L/100 km

The hybrid is substantially more economical, especially in city driving and traffic where it can operate on electric power at lower speeds. Business Day if your driving is mainly urban/stop-start, fuel savings can be significant over time.

Driving ExperienceHybrid

✅ Quieter at low speeds and smoother transitions between electric and petrol

✅ Instant torque makes city driving easier and less jerky The CVT/drive system may take some getting used to if you’re expecting sporty feelNon-Hybrid

✅ Predictable, simple powertrain

✅ Slightly lighter and potentially a touch more engaging in regular acceleration Less punch off the line compared with the hybrid torque delivery Overall, the hybrid feels smoother and more refined in daily traffic, while the non-hybrid has that familiar conventional petrol driving character.
