Trim Levels

The 2019 Fit is available in multiple trim levels including the LX, Sport, EX, and EX-L.

With such a wide variety of trim levels and supplemental packages offered with the Fit, Honda makes it easy for drivers to actually have the vehicle of their dreams.

Power and Performance

The motor that powers the 2019 Fit is a 1.5-liter inline-four engine with the standard six-speed manual transmission or the optional continuously variable automatic transmission. The Fit may be small, but its 130-horsepower engine provides plenty of power and speed. All trim levels of the Fit are capable of reaching a speed of 60 mph in approximately 10 seconds, which is impressive for a small car. The Fit drives and handles remarkably well, and its tires grip the road tightly under any conditions.

Interior

With its above average roof height, the Fit provides passengers with plenty of headroom. Although the Fit is technically a subcompact car, passengers certainly won’t feel cramped or crowded in its spacious interior.

Inside the Fit, the rear seats have the ability to recline, flip up, or fold down, which opens up the interior of the vehicle to a sizable 52.7 cubic feet of space. This substantial cargo space allows drivers to haul larger, bulkier items inside the Fit behind the front seats. The Fit also comes equipped with storage compartments for smaller objects. These storage compartments are conveniently located throughout the interior of the vehicle.

The dashboard sports a touch-screen information and entertainment system in addition to a navigation system. Base trim levels of the Fit include the information and entertainment system, power windows and door locks, Bluetooth audio capabilities, and USB ports.

Safety Features

Available in all trim levels is Honda Sensing, which is Honda’s active safety technology. Honda Sensing features a rear camera, forward collision warnings, lane departure alerts, and other advanced safety and security features. Add-on safety packages incorporating adaptive cruise control, active lane control, and automatic emergency braking are offered with the LX and Sport trim levels. On higher-level trims of the Fit, this group of safety features is standard. Additionally, the Fit sports an extensive airbag system as well as stability control systems.
