Honda Fit - 1.3 GF (A)
| Overview |
Exterior
The exterior styling is intended to express both spaciousness and dynamic motion, with front pillars moved forward for an advanced, super-forward form. The center tank layout was carried over from the previous model to help maintain the maneuverability expected of a small car while allowing enhancement of cabin space and practicality. The overall length has been increased by 55 mm to 3,900 mm and the width by 20 mm to 1,695 mm, while the 1,525 mm height remains the same as the previous model, allowing for use of tower parking. Honda has increased the wheelbase of the Fit by 50 mm to 2500 mm. The tread size has also been increased to help optimize the steering angle and maintain the minimum turning radius of the previous model at 4.7 meters. There are also five additional colours to choose from.
Interior
The cabin features an ingenious layout with equivalent space as one of Honda's middle-class sedans, providing passengers a natural feeling of comfort. The speedometer, located in the center of the cluster, features a large LED display providing of a broad range of information, including current fuel economy and range indications.
To ensure a comfortable driving position for all drivers, a tilt and telescopic steering column which is standard equipment on type L and RS, as well as a ratchet-operated seat height adjuster for type L and RS (factory option on type G) have been applied. A rotating passenger seat is available on the JDM car which takes full advantage of the Fit's easy access. The seat has a higher position than the previous one; it has additional foot space and features a specially contoured seat cushion. The seat enables easy loading and unloading of a wheelchair through the rear seats.
Front quarter windows are three times of the size of those in the previous model, and the width of the front pillar has been reduced by 20 mm to provide enhanced visibility. A new skyroof provides even more sense of space and comfort in the cabin. A touch of the switch would be able to control the power sun shield to be opened and closed to enable the driver a comfortable cabin.
Under the hood
The new Honda Fit comes with either a 1.3-liter I-VTEC engine that delivers maximum output of 73kW (100PS) or 1.5-liter -VTEC engine that delivers maximum output of 88kW (120PS). The Fit's continuous variable transmission delivers enhanced drive and off-the-line acceleration thanks to the implementation of a new torque converter. Higher gear ratios also help improve fuel economy by keeping rpms low during cruising. The low-friction, high-efficiency oil pump and pulleys as well as a new creep control system provide optimized creep control at low speeds and during idling for improved fuel economy.
