Honda’s Prius fighter will look like this?

For the last few months we’ve been writing that Honda will unveil a new hybrid model set to compete with Toyota Prius at the Paris Auto Show. Now we have a full rendering from the Japanese magazine Best Car. The picture above seems to be inspired by the hydrogen-powered FCX Clarity sedan.

Honda’s future hybrid model will be powered by a revised version of the Civic Hybrid’s 1.3-liter Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system with the updated nickel-metal-hybrid batteries stored under the trunk floor. The new model will be competitively priced at around the $18,000 -$19,000 range.
