Introduction to the New Honda Fit

At the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, Honda unveiled the next generation of its popular subcompact hatchback, the Honda Fit. While there's no definitive confirmation that the redesigned Fit will be available in the U.S., Honda has hinted at future announcements. Even if the Fit doesn't make it to American shores, many of its innovative features could influence other models, such as the HR-V, which shares its platform and is highly popular among SUV enthusiasts in the U.S.

Hybrid Power: A Leap Forward in Fuel Efficiency

One of the most exciting updates to the new Fit is the introduction of a hybrid version, powered by Honda’s advanced dual-motor hybrid system. This system is designed to enhance fuel efficiency, making the Fit an even more economical choice for city driving. Honda claims that the electric motor can handle virtually all everyday driving situations, potentially transforming the Fit into an electric vehicle for urban environments. This could significantly boost its fuel economy, making it a top contender in the subcompact segment.

Sweetened Sightlines: Enhanced Visibility and Safety

Honda has made significant improvements to the Fit’s visibility and safety features. The redesigned A-pillars not only provide better protection in collisions but also improve forward visibility. Additionally, the windshield wipers have been repositioned to be almost invisible when not in use, and the traditional cockpit-style gauge hood has been replaced with a flat design. These changes reduce obstructions in the driver’s view, enhancing overall safety and driving experience.

Putting It Chairitably: Enhanced Seating Comfort

The new Fit introduces a front seat design originally developed for Honda’s high-class sedan models. These seats are designed to offer greater comfort on longer drives, addressing a historical weakness of the Fit. The backseat continues to provide the functional versatility that the Fit is known for, but with added comfort through larger, thicker cushions. This makes the Fit not only practical but also more enjoyable for passengers.

On, Guard!: Innovative Safety Features

The Fit is the first Honda vehicle to offer the optional Honda Total Care Premium service. This service includes two tiers, providing features such as basic vehicle controls via a smartphone app, emergency services contact after a crash, and, in some markets, the ability to summon a private security guard when the car’s alarm is triggered. This innovative approach to vehicle security mirrors home security systems, offering peace of mind to Fit owners.
