History/OverviewThe entry-level end of Honda's lineup is where you'll find the Fit, a subcompact hatchback well into its third generation since the model was introduced to Canada in 2007. Honda redesigned the Fit in 2015 and made notable updates in 2018 and 2019; there are no changes for 2020. Rumours are circulating that the next-gen model may not come to North America; nothing is for sure as we write this, but 2020 or 2021 could be the Fit's last year here.
Available TrimsHonda builds the Fit in DX, LX, Sport, EX and EX-L Navi trims. All use a 1.5L four-cylinder engine. DX and LX get a six-speed manual transmission; LX is optional with a continuously variable automatic (CVT) that is standard elsewhere in the range.
