Toyota's hegemony on hybrids will be challenged by new automakers interested in catering for the hybrid market. Hyundai's first gas-electric car, Sonata Hybrid is also due towards the end of 2010. Fuel economy is expected to be improved by 20 to 25% on Sonata Hybrid.Honda has focused on hybrids that are small and more affordable. The 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid and Honda Fit Hybrid are expected in the fall of 2010. The CR-Z Hybrid was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2008 and it would be the only hybrid with manual transmission.
At present the French and particularly Peugeot seems to have got this one exactly right and have made a real impact on the segment of the car market. The 3008 won the "What Car," Car of the Year award, with the 5008 coming out as the top MPV.
