The Honda Fit was a subcompact four-door hatchback that first debuted in the United States for the 2007 model year. Marketed as the Honda Jazz in other parts of the world, the economical Fit was sold in Japan in 2001 but came to the States amid the financial crisis of the late 2000s to combat high gas prices. 

It made its mark as an affordable, well-built and practical small car. Its hatchback body style and versatile rear seat configurations made for a surprisingly spacious and usable interior. Despite its strengths, it was eventually discontinued in the US after the 2020 model year because of an increasing desire for crossovers and SUVs – and to make room for Honda’s own subcompact HR-V.

### 2015 - 2020 Honda Fit (3rd Generation)

The Honda Fit skipped the 2014 model year but returned to the new car market in third-generation guise the following year. Its wheelbase was lengthened to 99.6 inches and it was 67 inches wide, but length was shortened to 160 inches. It featured 52.7 cubic feet of total cargo space, down several square feet from the previous generation, but still led the segment in this respect.

Its trim levels and styling evolved to become more in line with the rest of Honda’s lineup of the time. The Fit was available with three trim levels: LX, EX, and EX-L. It remained a hatchback, but its new headlights, taillights, bumpers, and body lines gave it a whole new look. Most notably, the taillights were integrated into the car’s rear hatch, mimicking the those of the larger Honda CR-V.

The Fit still featured a 1.5-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine, but this time, it featured double overhead camshafts and direct injection. It was a little peppier, too, as horsepower rose to 130 and torque was up to 114 lb-ft. LX and EX trim levels came with a new six-speed manual transmission as standard and a continuously variable transmission was available with each trim level. The front-wheel drive (FWD) drivetrain remained standard.

All of the powertrain updates led to better fuel economy. Fits with a manual transmission had official ratings of 29 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway, while LX models with the CVT were good for 33 MPG in the city and 41 MPG on the highway. EX and EX-L models with the CVT dropped to 32 and 38 MPG in the city and on the highway respectively. 

Much like Fits of old, the base LX model came with only a few amenities. Features such as ABS, active head restraints, 15-inch wheels, cruise control, automatic headlights, Bluetooth connectivity, a four-speaker sound system, a five-inch infotainment display screen, a USB port, power windows, and the same old (but still clever) 'Magic Seat' were all included.

Upgrading to the EX model netted buyers 16-inch wheels, a sunroof, a six-speaker audio system, a seven-inch infotainment touchscreen, and Honda’s LaneWatch blind-spot monitoring system. Top-of-the-line EX-L models added leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a navigation system.  

Honda hit the Fit with a mid-cycle refresh for 2018, featuring infotainment and safety updates and the reintroduction of the Fit Sport model, which slotted between the base LX and mid-level EX models and featured the likes of unique body styling and foglights.  
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were added to the infotainment system. They were not standard, but were fitted to the Sport, EX, and EX-L trim levels.  

The HondaSensing suite of safety features was added to every version with a CVT transmission (manual versions did without it), benefitting from standard forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. Automatic high-beam headlights were added to the safety features list in 2019.   

The manual transmission option was dropped for the EX model in 2020 – the Fit's final model year in the US – but remained available with the LX and Sport trims.

### 2009 - 2014 Honda Fit (2nd Generation) 

[![Honda Fit 2nd Generation](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6fELLbJuav2u9BwMa32CpS/41a8ba8979df8e70430b11a52d977458/Honda_Fit_2nd_Generation.jpg)](https://www.autolist.com/honda-fit#year_min=2009&year_max=2014)

The second-generation Honda Fit debuted for the 2009 model year with new but familiar styling and slightly larger dimensions than its predecessor. Honda added just over four inches to its length, a few tenths of an inch to the width, and about two inches to its wheelbase. Despite its bigger footprint, curb weight remained about the same as that of the previous model. 

The growth spurt paid off. Rear seat passengers got about an inch more legroom and total cargo space increased to 57.3 cubic feet, thanks to the continued use of the rear 'Magic Seats' and a fold-flat front seat.   

The base and Sport trim levels carried over from the previous Fit, but Sport could be fitted with a navigation system that broke it out into its own sub-trim. A 1.5-liter four-cylinder i-VTEC engine remained standard on each trim level as before, but it was tuned to produce 117 horsepower.   

Both five-speed manual and five-speed automatic transmissions were available with both trim levels. Only slight updates to fuel economy came as a result of the Fit’s increased power. Automatics earned ratings of 28 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the highway, while manuals returned 27 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway. Honda Fit Sport models with a navigation system and automatic transmission saw the same fuel economy numbers as manual versions.  

Each base model Fit had features such as 15-inch wheels, air conditioning, a four-speaker sound system, ABS, power windows, electric power steering, an auxiliary input, and a CD player with MP3 capability. Fit Sports added 16-inch wheels, foglights, a rear spoiler, a six-speaker audio system, a USB port, cruise control, and a subtle, trim-specific body kit.   

With a $14,750 starting MSRP, the Fit was pricier than competitors such as the Toyota Yaris, the Nissan Versa, the Kia Rio5, and the Hyundai Accent. Even though many rivals were offered with either sedan or hatchback body styles, few could match the Fit’s nimble driving experience and practicality.   
Following the addition of standard cruise control, stability control, and keyless entry for the 2011 model year, Honda gave the 2012 Fit a minor facelift – a slightly updated interior and exterior. Additional noise-canceling materials and Bluetooth were added to keep up with growing competition within the segment from the likes of the Chevrolet Sonic and the Ford Fiesta.   

After seeing no significant changes for the 2013 model year, the Fit took a year's vacation in 2014, only to return to the market as an all-new model in 2015,

### 2007 - 2008 Honda Fit (1st Generation)  

[![Honda Fit 1st Generation](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/ZmfVoIlFw1NV74opHl19R/a0ae58ed4159dba6161a131986f34e20/Honda_Fit_1st_Generation.jpg)](https://www.autolist.com/honda-fit#year_min=2007&year_max=2008)

The first generation Fit was only available for two model years in the US market. It was twenty inches shorter than the Honda Civic and its wheelbase was 9.8 inches shorter. Despite its diminutive size, its boxy shape and 'Magic Seats' allowed it to swallow cargo easily. The seats folded in various ways based on hauling necessities, and maximum cargo space came in at 41.9 cubic feet with the seats in the least intrusive positions.   

Only two trim levels were offered: base and Sport. Both trim levels featured a 1.5-liter single overhead cam four-cylinder engine with 109 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque. Though not much, that was enough to propel the Fit's 2,500-pound curb weight around town. A five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive came standard on both trim levels but a five-speed automatic transmission was also available.   

Automatic versions of the Fit earned EPA fuel economy estimates of 27 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. Those with a manual transmission saw estimates of 28 MPG and 34 MPG in the city and on the highway respectively. These estimates were good for the time, but similar to other small cars, and road and engine noise became intrusive on the highway at higher speeds.   

First-generation Fits came with an excellent set of standard features for a small car with a starting MSRP of less than $14,000.  Weight-sensing front seat airbag deactivation, ABS, a four-speaker audio system, speed-sensing volume control, power windows, a CD player, and air conditioning.   

Upgrading to the Sport trim netted buyers 15-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, keyless entry, MP3 audio system compatibility, fog lights, a six-speaker audio system, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.   

After only a year in the US, the 2008 Honda Fit was not treated to any major changes in preparation for the upcoming second-generation moodel, which arrived for the 2009 model year.
