Introduction

Since it arrived in America nearly a decade ago, the Honda Fit has proven itself to be dependable, practical, fuel-efficient, and fun to drive. A regular Car and Driver "10 Best" award winner, the Fit has not set sales charts afire, a situation that Honda intends to rectify with the completely redesigned 2015 Fit.

"The Honda Fit is a small car with big aspirations. Faster, more fuel-efficient and more fun, it's a subcompact with larger-than-life-capabilities," said John Mendel, executive vice president of automobile sales for American Honda Motor Co., Inc., speaking about the new Fit during its debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. "It's simply the best Fit to date and, we believe, a new benchmark in the small-car category."

Exterior Features

Honda calls the new 2015 Fit sleek, modern, and sporty. Shorter in length, broader in width, and equipped with a longer wheelbase, the 2015 Honda Fit is equipped with standard 16-inch wheels and LED taillights.

Interior Features

Honda says the new 2015 Fit is fitted with soft, premium materials throughout its larger interior. Greater rear-seat legroom improves comfort, and the redesigned Fit retains its signature Magic Seat--a rear bottom cushion that flips up to carry tall items in the rear seating area, and that folds flat to create 52.7 cu. ft. of maximum cargo capacity. That's nearly as much cargo capacity as a Jeep Cherokee.
