The current generation also offers two trim packages, base and Sport. The base package comes standard with air-conditioning, cruise control, keyless entry, a tilt and telescoping steering column, and a four speaker audio system with CD player, auxiliary audio jack, and iPod/USB audio interface, while the Sport package again offers larger wheels, sportier exterior design, and a six speaker audio system with iPod/USB port. The Sport package also offers an additional touchscreen navigation system. Both first and second generation Honda Fits offer a peppy, enjoyable drive, decent cargo space, and a budget-friendly fuel economy that any subcompact enthusiast would be excited to own. However, some significant changes are in store for the 2015 model, which should be on the U.S. Market by the summer of 2014.
The all-new Japanese model Honda Fit seems to offer a
preview to the U.S. 2015 models. In addition to a sleeker and more aggressive
design with more angular bodywork, the new Fit will also sport a new headlight
and grille combination. The U.S. will also receive a new hybrid system for the
Fit. While the hatchback version of the car will not be available as a hybrid,
the Fit will be available in a sedan and a small crossover using the hybrid
drivetrain. The hybrid will sport a seven speed dual clutch transmission and
boast a 1.5 liter engine with a 22 kw electric motor and battery. If you are
considering a new subcompact, especially a hybrid, you may want to wait for the
release of the Fit redesign, but if you are merely looking for a subcompact
that doesn't sacrifice cargo space or driveability, stop by Moss Bros. Auto
group in Riverside, or one of its other nine locations, today.
