Honda introduced its revamped Fit Hybrid model with a sportier design and enhanced performance, embodying the car’s dynamic personality. Notable design updates, including revised bumpers and clean horizontal lines, maintain the iconic Fit silhouette, creating a cohesive and characterful aesthetic.

This model now features Honda’s e:HEV hybrid technology, exclusively available in the top-tier model. With a 10kW boost in maximum power output, the car delivers improved acceleration, refinement and an overall dynamic driving experience while preserving exceptional efficiency.

The power train output reaches 90kW (up from 80kW), generating 253Nm of electric propulsion torque. The traction motor sees a 10kW increase, enhancing system efficiency and the engine power is elevated to 78kW (from 72kW) for better drivability.

Despite the power increase, the fuel-efficient hybrid system maintains low CO2 emissions at 88g/km and an impressive fuel economy of 3.7L/100km on a combined cycle.

As part of the face-lift, the Fit Hybrid model now includes a wireless smartphone charger, further enhancing its comprehensive standard features.
