Honda FIT – The FIT that feels right for South African drivers

The Honda FIT is the ultimate compact hatch for urban drivers and small families who value practicality and modern features.

The new FIT showcases a sporty exterior, including a refined honeycomb grille, matte black detailing around the window frames and pillars, and projector LED headlamps.

This combines with the sleek body shape to make the Honda FIT a stylish hatchback for the discerning driver.

When you step inside, standard specification for all versions includes automatic climate control, smart keyless entry and a 9-inch HDMI infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The higher models also get bonuses like reverse cameras, wireless phone chargers, leather seats, heated front seats, and much more.

Whichever trim you choose, you can rest assured that the cabin feels modern and advanced, and combines excellently with the generous legroom and boot space to form the ultimate city hatchback.

Whether you’re navigating traffic on the way to work, exploring the latest hot social spot, or getting adventurous beyond the city borders – the Honda FIT is your perfect companion that commands attention wherever it goes.

Excellent driving experience

All trims of the Honda FIT come with the brand’s “Sensing” advanced driver system.

This combines features like a front wide-view camera with night-time operating, a collision-mitigation braking system with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, a road departure alert system, and automatic high beams that engage at speeds over 40km/h and turn off when an oncoming car is detected.

You will also benefit from six airbags, ABS, and EBD to keep you safe on your travels.

Under the hood, the vehicles all use a 1.5-litre petrol engine, and the non-electrified models can put out a total of 89kW and 145Nm of power.

The CVT transmission connects to the engine to use an average of 5.5l/100km.

Honda also offers a hybrid version of the vehicle, which assists the combustion engine to reduce fuel consumption to 3.7l/100km and increase torque to 253Nm.

The Honda FIT is an excellent city hatch that combines a compact design with surprising power and technological excellence.
