Honda Fit trim levels explained

By CarWhere Research · Updated

Honda sold the Fit in the U.S. for 2007–2013 and 2015–2020. First- and second-generation cars (2007–2013) came as Fit or Fit Sport. The third generation (2015–2020) added LX, EX and EX-L trims, a 130-hp direct-injected engine and a CVT. Used buyers wanting driver-assist tech should look for a 2018–2020 car with Honda Sensing.

Previous Fit trim levels: Fit, third generation (final 2020 model year)

The last U.S. Fit lineup was LX, Sport, EX and EX-L, with a 6-speed manual on LX and Sport only. Honda added the Sport trim and offered Honda Sensing for 2018. For a used buyer, 2018–2020 cars are the ones Honda offered with Honda Sensing, listed in its 2018 pricing as LX and Sport “with Honda Sensing” versions.[1][2][3]

Previous Fit trim levels: Fit, third generation at launch (2015 model year)

The 2015 redesign brought a new direct-injected 1.5L engine, a 6-speed manual or CVT, and three trims: LX, EX and EX-L (with optional navigation). A rearview camera and Bluetooth were standard; smart entry, a moonroof, heated front seats, LaneWatch and a 7-inch Display Audio screen were available. There was no 2014 Fit, so 2013 and 2015 cars are a generation apart.[5][4][3]
