What’s new?

The whole refreshed FIT range now has new and sporty styling, in addition to enhanced specification levels.

Exterior:

There are revised bumpers that create a more cohesive aesthetic look, while retaining the shape of the Fit with clean, crisp horizontal lines.

This more characterful style is evident on all three grades: the Comfort, Elegance and the Fit eHEV. Not only through the refreshed honeycomb grille design and grained lower front bumper insert, but also with a more sculpted appearance and grained material finish to the rear bumper.

The window frames and pillar trim now feature a more stylish matte black finish. On all Fit grades, the headlight projector ring surround is now finished in black.

Interior and equipment:

In addition to the recently introduced Fit eHEV facelift, the facelifted Fit (ICE) variants are available in two derivatives – Comfort and Elegance, which have undergone comprehensive updates to their standard specification levels, while the Fit Executive variant has been discontinued.

A host of advanced features, including LED headlights and Daytime Running lights, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, Smart Keyless Entry, Honda’s flagship 9-inch HMI Infotainment system and Honda SENSING™ are now standard features across the model range. The Fit Elegance variant now also gains a new wireless Smartphone charger in addition to the above-mentioned specification enhancements.

Enhanced Honda SENSING™ active safety technology offers a broad range of driver assistance features and aids as standard, thanks to a front wide-view camera with a broader field of vision and night-time operation, increasing safety in many situations.

The camera recognises a comprehensive range of road surface and traffic characteristics, while also eliminating fogging for a constantly clear field of view, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Road Departure Mitigation System and Auto High-Beam.

The 1.5 litre petrol-engine remains unchanged.
