Capable Flexibilities: 2017 Honda Fit wagon
The current generation of the Honda Fit was introduced at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The Fit was completely redesigned from the ground up to deliver an unparalleled combination of style, interior space, fun-to-drive performance and fuel efficiency plus leading-edge safety and vehicle connectivity. The Fit boasts a sleek, modern and sporty exterior style.
Available in LX, EX, and EX-L trim levels, power for the Fit is generated by a direct-injected 1.5L i-VTEC four-cylinder engine. Toque is communicated through the front wheels via one of two transmissions, a slick-shifting six-speed manual gearbox or a sporty and fuel-efficient continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) with available paddle shifters.
The chassis on which the Fit rides provides for good handling, ride comfort and NVH. A rigid body, rear dampers and optimized suspension geometry enhances ride quality and fun-to-drive handling characteristics. The new Fit benefits from the most extensive use of ultra-high strength steel in its history, providing increased body stiffness while reducing platform (underbody and chassis) weight by 57 pounds versus the outgoing model.
Inside the passenger cabin, the Fit builds on its already class-leading interior space, airy cabin and large greenhouse thanks to an efficient platform that incorporates a unique center-mounted fuel-tank layout. With the Honda-exclusive Magic Seat® offering multiple configurable seating positions, the Fit provides unrivaled cargo space when the second row seats are folded flat. With an overall height of 60 inches, the Fit allows for easy loading of items into the rear cargo and ingress/egress for passengers.
All Fit models are equipped with class-leading standard features including an Expanded View Driver’s Mirror.
