2016 Honda Fit Overview

Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

The 2016 Honda Fit is now in dealerships, carrying with it a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $15,790, not including an $820 destination charge. The newest model of the third-generation Fit is largely unchanged, but the Fit has been one of Honda’s better sellers, so perhaps they think it’s unwise to try and mess with success.

What’s new for the 2016 Honda Fit?

You see that sticker price? Yeah, that’s what’s new. The 2016 Fit costs $140 more than the outgoing model, but you’re paying for inflation rather than any shiny new features. This is a carryover model, but it retains the Fit’s best-in-class passenger and cargo space and 41 mpg highway fuel economy rating.

The 2016 Honda Fit is available in LX, EX, and EX-L trim levels.

The 2016 Fit sports a good-looking exterior design, with headlights that are integrated into the grille, an aggressive lower intake, and a color-matched spoiler in the rear. Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure helped the Fit achieve best-in-class safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the US government.

2016 Honda Fit Performance

All 2016 Honda Fit models are powered by an Earth Dreams Technology direct-injection 1.5-liter DOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder engine. The motor yields 130 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque, and can be mated to either a six-speed manual of a more fuel efficient Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with Honda’s exclusive G-Shift Control.
