Honda Fit: What does this hatchback have to offer?
Learn all the details and important information about what this model has to offer. This article is literally a guide for the undecided.
Starting with the Design
As with any vehicle, the first thing to look at in a car is the design, and with the Honda Fit, the story is the same.
The model received a facelift in the 2018 lineup and...now in 2020 It received an "upgrade" in its list of active security features.
But speaking first of the exterior of the model, the Fit now features full LED headlights and larger rear bumpers. This measure was designed to prevent the classic dents in case of accidents and incidents.
In terms of design updates, the Fit also gained new colors, and the one that stands out the most is the metallic Venus red, which goes very well with the large compact car.
The front grille features a black piano finish with chrome details that integrate naturally with the headlights. A little further down, the fog lights also draw attention with a slightly more aggressive look due to their angle of inclination.
Even more beauty at the rear. The black piano trim covers the new LED taillights, giving an even more precise and refined finish.
And to complete the design perfectly, all versions of the Honda Fit come standard with alloy wheels. In addition to being durable and functional, they make the model even more attractive.
Comfortable and technologically advanced interior.
As important as being beautiful on the outside is being functional and comfortable on the inside, and when we talk about comfort and technology in a Honda car, it's like stating the obvious.
Vehicles from the Japanese automaker, such as the Honda Civic, the HR-V, and of course the Fit, are known for their unified yet blended quality, comfort, and technology.
We will now show you all the comfort and technology-focused gadgets that the Fit offers.
7'' Multimedia Center
The first technological feature of the Honda Fit is the 7'' multi-touchscreen multimedia center with smartphone interface.
The system is capable of connecting to smartphones via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which allows mirroring and sharing of data from apps such as Waze, WhatsApp, Google Maps, Spotify, and many others.

In addition, the system features integrated GPS, audio, Bluetooth, and a rearview camera with controls integrated into the steering wheel. All this with a user-friendly navigation interface designed to make it easy to use.
Digital air conditioning
Another point that deserves great emphasis is the automatic digital air conditioning with a full touchscreen display.
With a simple touch, you can adjust the Fit's internal temperature. The system was developed to provide more comfort and convenience for any type of commute.
Multifunctional steering wheel
The Honda Fit's multifunction steering wheel is entirely leather-wrapped and features audio controls, cruise control, paddle shifters, and Bluetooth connectivity at your fingertips.
The combination of all these gadgets provides not only convenience and comfort, but also safety during urban commutes and road trips. After all, there's no need to take your hands off the steering wheel to operate a range of systems.
Armrest
Aiming for a higher level of comfort, the Fit has an armrest installed between the front seats, which provides better ergonomics while driving, as well as serving as extra storage for small, useful items during any trip.
Progressive electric power steering
Another feature that combines technology and comfort is the progressive electric power steering.
With perfectly calibrated settings, this item allows for more precise and safer driving. At low speeds, the steering wheel is light, which allows for agility and ease in maneuvering.
However, as the speed increases, the steering becomes progressively stiffer and firmer, allowing for safer handling.
Security speaks loudly.
We now come to a point that is very familiar to many when the subject is a Honda vehicle: Safety.
Following the Japanese standard The Honda Fit is one of the safest models in its category simply because it has a number of components designed for that purpose.
Now it's time to meet them all.
Airbags
The first and best-known safety item in the automotive world is the airbag.
The airbags that deploy in the event of a collision protect all occupants inside the vehicle. In total, the Honda Fit has up to 6 airbags: 2 front airbags, 2 side airbags, and 2 curtain airbags.
Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)
The system that comes standard on the Fit automatically activates the hazard lights 3 times in cases of sudden braking to warn drivers behind.
This naturally increases safety and reduces the chance of a rear-end collision.
HSA System – Hill Start Assist
This system acts as an incline start assist, keeping the brake engaged for a few seconds after releasing the pedal, providing greater safety and stability for the vehicle on steeper terrain.
The system prevents the car from rolling backwards during an uphill start, thus avoiding accidents or incidents with pedestrians or other vehicles.
VSA System
The VSA system intelligently and automatically balances traction and braking on each wheel independently.
This ensures greater vehicle stability through very powerful mechanical grip. Because of this system, it is very difficult for the car to skid or for the driver to lose control, which guarantees safer driving.
Multi-view reversing camera
And the last safety gadget in the Fit is the multi-view rear camera, which offers three different views: rear, wide-angle, and top-down, ensuring greater safety for you and everyone around you.
Versatility is provided by the Magic Seat.
When people say the Honda Fit is a versatile vehicle, much of that versatility is due to the Magic Seat system.
The Magic Seat is simply a system that allows for a wide range of possibilities for lowering the vehicle's seats.
Through it, it is possible to fold down all the rear seats and also the passenger seat, increasing the model's cargo capacity to unimaginable levels, which allows carrying the most varied types of cargo.
It's no wonder that the vehicle is a great option for singles, married couples, and those with children, as finding space in the Fit is not a difficult task.
Engine and transmission
The Fit is equipped with a 1.5 i-VTEC engine that belongs to Honda's most current generation of engines, although there are more modern versions available abroad.
Although it's a 16V engine, it operates with eight valves at low RPMs to obtain more torque under those conditions, while the other eight valves only engage at higher RPMs when the vehicle needs to improve performance.

The Honda Fit's 1.5 i-VTEC engine uses FlexOne technology, which involves pre-heating the fuel during cold starts, thus removing the gasoline tank from the engine compartment.
When fueled with gasoline, the engine reaches 115 horsepower. With ethanol, the horsepower changes little, reaching 116 horsepower.
There are two transmission options: a five-speed manual and a CVT with seven speed positions, which is only available on the EX and EXL versions.
