For the 2018 model year brings, Honda has made significant updates to the third-generation Fit, including sportier styling, a more dynamic and refined driving experience, and substantially upgraded technology and premium features.

For starters, this will be the first Fit to features the Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety and driver assistive technologies, which will be available across all trims and standard on the EX and above grades. Honda is boasting that this development makes the Fit the most affordable car in America to offer such a robust package of safety and driver-assistive features, as well as the only vehicle within its segment to do so.

The redesigned 5-door subcompact now features a lower, longer, wider, and sportier appearance, thanks to a new front and rear fascia, a more sophisticated two-piece chrome and piano black grille, and new wheel finishes.

The 2018 Fit also offers an expanded exterior color palette that includes two new paint options—Helios Yellow and Orange Fury. EX and above trims also come with a new two-tone finish on the 16-inch alloy wheels with machined spokes and gloss-black inserts.

The new Sport trim is even sportier, thanks to aero form features at the front, sides, and rear, integrated fog lights, and a bright orange front splitter. The exclusive gloss-black finish on the Sport Fit’s 16-inch alloy wheels contributes to the sporty design, as well. The vehicle’s look is completed in the rear by a three-strake diffuser with bright orange upper trim line, chrome exhaust finisher, and Sport badge.
