The Honda Fit (Japanese: ホンダ・フィット, Hepburn: Honda Fitto), also marketed as Honda Jazz, is a five-door B-segment supermini or subcompact car manufactured and marketed by Honda since 2001 and now in its fourth generation. Marketed worldwide and manufactured at ten plants in eight countries,[3] sales reached almost 5 million by mid-2013.[4]

Sharing Honda's global small car platform with the City, Airwave, first generation Mobilio and Freed, the Fit is noted for its one-box or monospace design; forward-located fuel tank; configurable seats that Honda calls "Magic Seats", that fold in several ways to accommodate cargo in varying shapes and sizes— and cargo volume competitive to larger vehicles.[5][6][7][8]

Honda released hybrid petroleum-electric versions of the Fit in Japan in October 2010 and in Europe in early 2011.[9][10] Honda released the Fit EV, a limited production all-electric version, in the United States in July 2012 and in Japan the following month.[11][12] By 2012, Honda Fit was produced in 12 countries, including Japan, Brazil, China, India and Indonesia.

Honda uses the "Jazz" nameplate in Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, Africa, Hong Kong, Macau, some ASEAN countries and India; and "Fit" in Japan, Sri Lanka, China, Taiwan and the Americas.

First generation (GD/GE; 2001)[]

Main article: Honda Fit (first generation)

The first-generation Fit debuted in June 2001 in Japan and subsequently was introduced in Europe (early 2002), Australia (late 2002), South America (early 2003), South Africa and Southeast Asia (2003), China (September 2004), and Mexico (late 2005).

A production model for the United States and Canada debuted on January 8, 2006 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The car was released in Canada on April 3, 2006, and in the U.S. on April 20, 2006 as a 2007 model year.

The first-generation Fit uses Honda's Global Small Car platform, which is also used by Fit Aria/City (a sedan version of the Fit), the Airwave (a station wagon version of Fit Aria/City), the Mobilio, and Mobilio Spike. Depending on the region, the Fit is available with a 1.2-, 1.3- (in Europe referred as 1.4 L model), 1.5-liter i-DSI engine, or 1.5-liter VTEC engine. All four engines are based on Honda's L-series engine family.

Main article: Honda Fit (second generation)

The second-generation Fit/Jazz debuted on 17 October 2007 at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show. At its introduction in 2007, it won the Car of the Year Japan Award for the second time. The vehicle offered a longer wheelbase than its predecessor and is wider and longer overall.

Two engines were offered in the second-generation Fit. A 1.3-litre i-VTEC produces 100 PS (99 hp; 74 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 127 N⋅m (13.0 kg⋅m; 93.7 lb⋅ft) at 4,800 rpm. A 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine was also offered and produces a maximum output of 120 PS (118 hp; 88 kW) at 6,600 rpm and 145 N⋅m (14.8 kg⋅m; 107 lb⋅ft) at 4,800 rpm.[13]

The hybrid version was launched October 2010 in Japan. The Fit Hybrid featured a 1.3-litre engine and electric motor, with an estimated fuel economy of 3.3 litres per 100 kilometres (86 mpg‑imp; 71 mpg‑US) measured in accordance with Japanese 10–15 cycle.[14]

Honda also showed a concept electric vehicle based on the second generation Fit in 2010. It was mass-produced as the Fit EV in 2013–2015. The 2013 model year production Fit EV was unveiled at the November 2011 Los Angeles Show.[15][16][17]

For the first time, it was also available in a station wagon body style called the Fit Shuttle. The variant was only available in Japan's domestic market.[18]

Chronology
SuccessorHonda City Hatchback (Southeast Asia)

The third-generation Fit/Jazz retains the overall design concept of previous generations, notably the center-located fuel tank and multi-configuration interior concept, marketed as Magic Seating.

Honda's all-new "Global Small Car Platform" employing ultra-high strength 780 MPa yield steel for 27% of its bodywork — and a shorter overall length (-1.6 inches (-4cm)), longer wheelbase (+1.2inch (+3cm)) increased rear legroom (+4.8 inches(+12.2cm)) and increased passenger volume (+4.9 cu ft (+135.9L)) compared to its previous generation.[22]

Body panels are both welded and bolted to the frame in a hybrid monocoque and spaceframe fusion — and rear torsion beam suspension is more compact, no longer using an anti-sway bar to maximize interior and cargo space.[23] Honda HR-V shares its platform with the Fit.

Interior

Japan[]

Japanese models went on sale on 6 September 2013. Models available in Japan range from the 13G, 15X, RS and hybrid.

The Fit Hybrid uses an Earth Dreams 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle DOHC i-VTEC engine paired with a 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission) and an internal high-output motor, IPU (Intelligent Power Unit) with lithium-ion battery, electric servo braking system with variable servo ratio control.[24] The next-generation sport hybrid i-DCD system combines a 97 kW (132 PS; 130 hp), 156 N⋅m (15.9 kg⋅m; 115 lb⋅ft) 1.5-liter direct injection engine combined with a 22 kW (30 PS; 30 hp) 160 N⋅m (16.3 kg⋅m; 118 lb⋅ft) Honda H1 motor. Powertrains are shared with Honda Vezel and Honda Grace Hybrid.

Compared to the outgoing IMA hybrid, the new hybrid can now run fully on electric while driving, making it on par with Toyota Prius. Japanese cycle fuel consumption go as low as 37 km/L for the facelift base model. Cargo capacity is 470 liters.

Non-hybrid models include the 13G (Earth Dreams 1.3-liter Atkinson cycle DOHC i-VTEC engine and CVT transmission), 15X (Earth Dreams 1.5-liter direct injection DOHC i-VTEC engine), RS (Earth Dreams 1.5-liter direct injection DOHC i-VTEC engine).[25] The RS variant, like the outgoing model, features cosmetic enhancements featuring a sporty all-round body kit, 16-inch wheels, red interior stitching and sports pedals.

North America[]

The U.S. model debuted at the 2014 North American International Auto Show and went on sale in June as a 2015 model year vehicle.

The fourth-generation Fit/Jazz was unveiled simultaneously on 23 October 2019 in Japan at the 46th Tokyo Motor Show and Amsterdam, Netherlands at the 'Electric Vision' event.[36][37][38]

This generation has been developed with electrification in mind, which saw the model being marketed as a hybrid-only model in Europe, and the hybrid variant being positioned as a volume maker in Japan. The hybrid powertrain is marketed as the e:HEV which utilizes Honda’s new dual-motor i-MMD (Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive) hybrid system, replacing the previous Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive (i-DCD) setup.

The fourth-generation Fit retains its large windshield that offers optimal forward visibility, though a redesigned front pillar with a cross-sectional structure differs from the previous generation. Honda stated it improves the impact absorption into the body in the event of a collision.[39] Combined with the use of a flat dashboard and a visor-less instrument display, provides the driver with a better view of their surroundings. The windscreen wipers have also been hidden below the top of the bonnet line.[40]

The model would not be sold in the North American market due to the declining sales of its predecessor, in favour of the HR-V which saw its production being ramped up to make up for the demise of the Fit.[41] The model would also not be sold in Australia where it had been known as the Jazz. The cost was deemed too high to import and the popularity of compact SUVs were flooding the market. In Southeast Asia, the Fit/Jazz would be replaced by the new City Hatchback.

Markets[]

Japan[]

The Fit was launched in Japan on 13 February 2020 and went on sale on the following day. Trim levels for the Japanese market Fit are Basic, Home, Ness, Crosstar and Luxe.

In Japan, the Fit is offered with both conventional 1.3-litre petrol engine and the 1.5-litre e:HEV system.[42] The take rate of the Fit e:HEV in Japan is targeted to reach 65 percent, up from the previous generation's 40 percent.[43] In reality, the Fit e:HEV accounted for 72 percent of sales as per March 2020.[44]

Others[]

The fourth-generation Fit was launched in Singapore in January 2021 and in Hong Kong in March 2021 as the Jazz.[50] It was also introduced in South Africa in June 2021 as the Fit, replacing the previous Jazz nameplate.[51][52]

Powertrain[]

The fourth-generation Fit is offered with a new hybrid powertrain option marketed as the e:HEV, the system uses Honda’s dual-motor i-MMD (Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive) hybrid system. The system combines a 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine that on its own makes 98 PS (97 hp; 72 kW) from 5,600 to 6,400 rpm and 127 N⋅m (13.0 kg⋅m; 93.7 lb⋅ft) from 4,500 to 5,000 rpm with two electric motors, with one of them acting as a generator to recharge the lithium-ion battery while the other is an electric propulsion motor capable of spinning at 13,300 rpm to handle low-speed acceleration. The engine sends power to the front wheels through a single fixed-gear ratio and a lock-up clutch, which is claimed to provide a smoother transfer of torque during acceleration. The setup is claimed to be more compact and refined compared to a planetary eCVT typically found in other hybrid vehicles. The system is rated at 109 PS (108 hp; 80 kW) and 253 N⋅m (25.8 kg⋅m; 187 lb⋅ft) of torque.[45]

The conventional petrol engine for the Japanese market is 1.3-litre naturally-aspirated i-VTEC four-cylinder, making 98 PS at 6,000 rpm and 118 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. It is mated to a CVT and a choice of either front or all-wheel drive.[42]

Honda expected to sell 33,000 vehicles in the U.S. for the 2007 model year, but exceeded these expectations, and sold 40,000. Honda plans to put 70,000 Fit units on American roads for the 2008 model year.[68]

In the first half of 2008, Honda and other manufacturers were surprised by the rapid shift towards smaller cars in the United States. Sales of the Fit during the first five months of the year jumped 64% compared with that of 2007. Production of 2009 Fit for the U.S. market was to increase from 60,000 to 80,000 cars. Further increase in supply for the U.S. market is limited by Honda's production capacity of 500,000 a year for all markets.[69]

Honda announced that by the end of July 2009, worldwide sales of Fit/Jazz reached 3 million. One year later, global cumulative sales reached 3.5 million units in July 2010.[54]

Marketing[]

Honda may have planned to use the name Fitta, and it was released in Japan under that name in 2001.[98] Because Fitta in Scandinavian languages is slang for vagina, Honda instead used Jazz in most markets and Fit in the Americas.[99][100][101][102][103]

In April 2006, Honda Australia promoted Honda Jazz with Village Green, an animated television commercial, in 30 second and 60 second versions, inspired by Thomas the Tank Engine.[104]

In April 2006, American Honda launched the Fit with six five-second and two 30-second TV ads, with the slogan 'The Fit Is Go'.[105]

Subsequent ad campaigns included "Mecha-Mosquitoes,"[106] (broke 9/21) "Defense Mechanism"[107] (breaks 10/2) and "Bats"[108] (breaks 9/28), produced by Digital Domain. As part of the campaign, the vehicle also appeared in Gossip Girl, 90210, America's Next Top Model, Smallville and Everybody Hates Chris. Print ads "Gas Hogs" and "Cavernous" were featured in popular magazines. A dedicated marketing site was built to communicate top product features through games and interactive experiences.[109] The campaign continued the slogan 'The Fit Is Go'.[110]
