Fit leads subcompact field with fun-to-drive character, exceptional people- and cargo-hauling versatility, and premium features
Standard Honda Sensing® on EX and EX-L makes Fit one of the most affordable new cars offering a comprehensive suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies
The 2020 Honda Fit arrives in showrooms Dec. 16 as the clear benchmark in the subcompact car category, with unparalleled versatility, premium feature content, fun-to-drive performance, and an available 6-speed manual transmission. Honda Sensing®, standard on EX and EX-L trims, makes Fit one of the most affordable new cars to offer such a comprehensive package of safety and driver-assistive features.

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)1 for the 2020 Fit LX with a manual transmission starts at $16,190, while Fit EX with standard Honda Sensing® starts at $19,060.
For 2020, the Fit lineup starts with the affordable but fun Fit LX and the more aggressively styled Fit Sport, both available with a 6-speed manual transmission. Fit EX comes standard with Honda Sensing® and an automatic transmission, while Fit EX-L adds leather upholstery and more. For the 2020 model year, Honda Sensing® is no longer available on LX and Sport trims.

All Fit trims are powered by a 1.5-liter direct-injected 4-cylinder i-VTEC™ engine producing peak output of up to 130 horsepower (SAE net) and 114 lb.-ft. of torque (SAE net). In LX and Sport trims a slick-shifting 6-speed manual is standard, with a continuously variable transmission (CVT2) available; the CVT is standard on EX and EX-L trims. The 2020 Fit carries an EPA fuel economy rating of 29/36/31 mpg (city/highway/combined)3 for the manual transmission LX, and 33/40/36 mpg for the CVT-equipped LX.

2020 Fit Pricing & EPA Ratings
Trim Transmission MSRP1 MSRP Including $930 Destination EPA Fuel Economy Ratings (city / highway / combined)3
LX 6MT $16,190 $17,120 29 / 36 / 31
LX CVT $16,990 $17,920 33 / 40 / 36
Sport 6MT $17,600 $18,530 29 / 36 / 31
Sport CVT $18,400 $19,330 31 / 36 / 33
EX CVT $19,060 $19,990 31 / 36 / 33
EX-L CVT $20,620 $21,550 31 / 36 / 33
The Honda Fit continues to blend fun-to-drive performance with outstanding fuel efficiency and comfort in a high-quality, affordable package. Clever packaging, such as the fuel tank mounted underneath the front-row seats, gives the 2020 Fit unequaled cargo capacity, boasting a class-leading 52.7 cubic-feet of space with the rear seats folded down.
Standard features on all Fit models include rearview camera, liftgate spoiler, auto on-off headlights, LED taillights, Bluetooth®, and a multi-function center console. Fit's vibrant palette of exterior color consists of seven choices: Orange Fury, Lunar Silver Metallic, Modern Steel Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl, Milano Red, Aegean Blue Metallic, and Platinum White Pearl.

For the latest in-vehicle connectivity experience, Sport models and up include Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration through a high-resolution, 7-inch touchscreen. The available Honda Sensing® suite of technologies includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and pedestrian detection, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and auto high-beam headlamps.
Honda Fits for the U.S. market are manufactured in North America, at Honda's Celaya, Mexico plant.
