Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

The 2019 Honda Fit remains the same small subcompact car that’s ready for big adventures. Its reputation was built on being a fuel-efficient hatchback that’s versatile and fun to drive, and that legacy lives on in the 2019 model.

History Lesson: The history of the Honda Civic

What’s new for the 2019 Honda Fit?

For the most part, the 2019 Honda Fit is unchanged from the 2018 model. The 2019 Fit models that are equipped with the Honda Sensing system now have automatic high-beam headlight control, and a new Platinum Pearl White exterior color is available. Even with these new safety and exterior features, there is no price increase on the 2019 Honda Fit from the 2018 Fit.

The 2019 Honda Fit is available in four trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, and EX-L.
