Performance
When it comes to considering your next vehicle, performance is critical. A car is not useful if it is not driveable and reliable. Luckily, the Honda Fit has a lot to offer by providing solid power and excellent fuel economy. Both of these things play a significant role in creating a good driving experience. So let's take a look at some of the specifics.
Power And Fuel-Economy
The standard 2020 Honda Fit comes with a 6-speed manual transmission. However, this can be upgraded to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Some people prefer manuals, while others do not, so the Fit offers both to ensure all drivers are satisfied. That said, the Fit offers only one engine. This may sound like a downfall, but it is a very powerful engine and prevents drivers from having to pick between cost and power. The engine in the Fit is a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that gets between 128 hp and 130 hp. Additionally, it gets between 113 lb-ft and 114 lb-ft of torque. In all, the 2020 Honda Fit is surprisingly powerful.
Despite its power, though, the Fit is still extremely efficient. Manual models get 31 MPG combined (29 city/36 highway).2 The LX trim with the CVT gets the most impressive numbers with 36 MPG combined (33 city/40 highway).2 And all other models with the CVT get 33 MPG combined (31 city/36 highway).2 In all, no matter what, the Honda Fit is an extremely efficient vehicle. And this will save time, money, and the earth.
Interior
The inside of a vehicle is one of the most important considerations to make when shopping for a new ride. Remember, this is where you will be spending all of your time with your vehicle. That said, the Honda Fit does great with not only space but also interior features. This hatchback can come equipped with tons of features and allows for a great driving or riding experience. Let's take a peek.
Seating And Space
The 2020 Fit offers seating for up to five passengers. And these seats come with four different modes: Utility, Long, Tall, and Refresh. Utility Mode gives you 52 cu.ft. of cargo capacity, as it folds down the extra seats. Long Mode is great for just what it sounds like: longer items. If you’re going surfing or kayaking, say goodbye to the old-fashioned way of carrying these items overhead. Now you can fit your kayak inside without a struggle. Next up is Tall Mode, which helps hold tall, upright items. This is great for hauling cabinets and similar, taller items. Finally, we have Refresh Mode. This mode allows you to fold back the front seats so that you can actually make a long recliner-like seat. This is great if you’ve been traveling a long distance and need to pull over to rest up for the trip.
These features are important for cars like these. Many people stick to trucks, vans, and even full-sized SUVs because they need space. However, Honda creates a way to have the roominess of a larger vehicle along with the efficiency of a smaller one. With all of that, it is hard to argue its genuine versatility.
Convenient Features
Along with great versatility, the Fit's interior has some features that make it an excellent choice. The Fit is equipped with heated front seats, steering-wheel-mounted controls, a push-button start, and even power outlets with a USB port. For a small price, these features are more generous than you might expect. And all of these features blend together to create the perfect travel car.
In today's world of technology, drivers expect to have features in their vehicles to stay both entertained and safe. As the technological world evolves, the auto industry needs to keep up with the pace. The Honda Fit has done a good job standing up to the expectations and keeping up with the world’s technology advances. This hatchback offers ways to connect your smartphone right to the vehicle along with various features to ensure safe travels. Let's take a look at both.
Fun Technology
Like most new vehicles, the Fit comes with an infotainment touchscreen. You can use this to do anything from utilizing the rearview camera to streaming music and connecting to your smartphone. Apple users will be happy to know that this car comes with Apple CarPlay, a desirable option that allows you to sync your phone with your car radio. Conversely, Android users aren’t left out here, as the Fit also comes with Android Auto. With these two systems, smartphone users have access to their phone's applications through the infotainment system, allowing for fun, but hands-free and safe ride.
Technology for Safety
Speaking of safety, the Honda Fit comes loaded with safety and convenience technologies. For example, the Honda LaneWatch feature displays video footage of your surroundings, assisting in being aware of your surroundings. Additionally, for those who are notorious for locking keys in their cars, the Fit comes with Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock. To lock your car, all you have to do is put the key in your pocket and walk away. This is great if you leave your keys inside because the car will not lock unless the keys are with you. So whether you are looking for features to ensure safety, like LaneWatch, or a way to avoid locking yourself out like Smart Entry, the Honda Fit is the perfect vehicle, equipped with features to assist in every way.
