With fun styling, loads of interior space, and modern technology, the 2020 Honda Fit is a great car for college students, working professionals, and those looking for an affordable subcompact hatchback. Check out these five features of the Fit that make it such an appealing car.
-
Ideal for City Driving
With a wheelbase of only 99.6 inches, all trims of the Fit, LX, Sport, EX, and EX-L are easy to maneuver in city traffic and to fit into tight or challenging parking spots. The 15-or 16-inch alloy wheels sit you high enough for outward visibility to see other cars, bicyclists, and pedestrians. When you choose the EX trim, you get a sunroof for extra light, extended sun visors to reduce glare, keyless entry and ignition for ease of use.
-
Peppy Performance
You’ll have plenty of power for fast acceleration on all trims when getting onto the highway or for zipping around town. Under the hood, you’ll find a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 130 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. On the LX and Sport trims, you get an interactive six-speed manual transmission, or the optional continuously variable automatic transmission which is standard on the EX and EX-L trims. Front-wheel drive gives the Fit plenty of traction when climbing hills or driving on wet surfaces.
-
Plenty of Interior Space
In a car this size, you’ll find an amazing amount of space. Two rows of seats fit five people comfortably with plenty of legroom and headroom. With the proper configuration, you can get up to 52 cubic feet of cargo space to carry luggage, groceries, and supplies. For even more flexible space, the 60/40 split second-row Magic Seat is ideal for longer items like a bicycle or surfboard. Optional leather-trimmed seating and heated front seats add an extra level of comfort.
-
Easy-to-Use Technology
It’s easy to use your smartphone and mobile device with the thoughtfully laid out center console. You get a USB port and a 12-volt outlet to keep everything charged and to connect your phone into the infotainment system. Standard across all trims is a 5-inch touch screen, Bluetooth, and a four-speaker audio system. You can also upgrade to a 7-inch touch screen that has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, a navigation system, and a six-speaker sound system. To access your Fit remotely from your smartphone, download the HondaLink app.

Loads of Driver-Assist Features
It’s always nice to know that the car you’re driving has safety features, and the Fit has plenty of available driver-assist features to help you stay safe on the road. Included in the Honda Sensing suite of driver aids are forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, a road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and traffic sign recognition.
Advanced and additional safety features include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and auto high-beam headlights. For extra safety, choose the available Honda LaneWatch. This innovative safety feature feeds you live video of your passenger-side blind-spot whenever you turn on the right-hand turn indicator.
