The 1.5-liter, 16-valve, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder Engine gives the Fit a generous 117 horsepower in relation to its size and impressive fuel economy*. One-hundred six-pound-feet of torque at a low 4800 rpm means drivers can enjoy quick acceleration and with dynamic i-VTEC technology, the power and torque are boosted at any engine speed. A performance-oriented suspension makes it swift on the draw with shockingly sporty handling. The steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters on the available automatic transmission Fit Sport model provides drivers with an engaging on-road experience.
Interior is fit with usability
The Fit has you covered when it comes to the interior of this new 2012 model. Directly connect certain iPod** models and USB flash drives to the Fit's audio system with the USB Audio Interface***, located in the upper glove compartment. Also available for Fit Sport is the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with voice recognition+. This innovative system provides maps and directions across the contiguous U.S.++ with listings of over 10 million points of interest?like gas stations, ATMs and restaurants?to help you find what you need on the road. When the rear seats are folded down, the expanded rear cargo area is completely flat, allowing for large items to easily slide in and be stored. In addition, a security system with remote entry for added security and convenience comes standard.
Fierce Defender!
The Honda Fit has been engineered to help protect you and your passengers when an accident cannot be avoided. Besides having energy-absorbing crush zones, the Fit comes standard with Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™). ACE™ utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute frontal crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle and helps to safeguard occupants in frontal collisions. The Fit has six standard front, front side and side curtain airbags to reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision, as well as active front head restraints which move forward and up in a fraction of a second to decrease the chances of neck injury. Standard 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) assist you in maintaining control during hard braking and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®)+++ with traction control help sense oversteer or understeer, and then adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver control. * 27 city / 33 highway / 29 combined for Fit and Fit Sport with manual transmission. 28 city / 35 highway / 31 combined for Fit with automatic transmission. 27 city / 33 highway / 30 combined for Fit Sport with automatic transmission.
