First generation Honda Fit 2001-2007 GD1, 2, 3, 4
Honda Fit, the first generation was released in 2001. In the mid-90s, Honda was losing out in the minicar market, with automakers producing strong cars that outperformed Honda's Logo and Capa models.
To get ahead of the competition, Honda needed to release a car that was superior in every aspect. The company puts everything on the line and releases a clean-cut car called the Honda Fit.
The model produced the effect of a hydrogen bomb on the car market, at the time of its debut everyone was talking about it, even those who were not interested in cars, it was an undoubted success.
Honda Fit is built on a new platform, for which they built the L13A engine, a new generation CVT and chassis.
Honda's appearance made a splash, everyone liked the car, Fit looked more expensive than it actually costs. An extensive range of colors made the car even more attractive, with consumers choosing from 10 different colors.
The Honda Fit salon impressed many, it was much larger than it seemed from the outside, front and rear passengers feel comfortable, and the trunk allowed a lot to fit in, with the rear seats folded down, you can transport a bicycle or surfboard.
Honda Fit Hybrid interior, RS version 
Honda has a reference driver's seat in this class, seats with lateral support can be adjusted to fit any person. The dashboard looks modern and rich, and the switches and buttons are easy to use.
Technical part
For Honda Fit, they made a 1.3-liter L13A engine with 86 horsepower and 119 Hm of torque. The engine was equipped with a manual gearbox or a stepless variator Honda Multimatic S, a new generation variator without a pallet, greatly simplified its maintenance.
The L13A engine is amazing because it has 8 ignition coils and 8 spark plugs.
Initially, a front-wheel drive version was offered, but to maintain demand, the company releases the Honda Fit with all-wheel drive. Following the 4WD version, the L15A engine comes out with an increased volume, 110 horsepower and 143 Hm of torque. The motor had 4 iridium candles in place of 8 conventional ones and a VTEC valve timing system.
The chassis of the Honda Fit is unpretentious and reliable, the model is well controlled. MacPherson is in front, a beam is in the back.
The first generation was produced from 2001 to 2007, during the life cycle the car was popular, many subsequent Honda cars were produced on the basis of Fit. After a successful release in Japan, the model conquered Europe and America under the name Honda Jazz.
It is worth saying that the car was twice awarded the "Best Car of the Year in Japan" award, and once "Japan's Car of the Decade".

Second Generation Honda Fit 2007-2013 GE 6/7/8/9
Before the release of the 2nd generation Honda Fit, the engineers had to work hard, it was necessary to improve an already beautiful car. The first generation was popular all over the world, the 2nd should surpass the success of the first. 
First, the engineers took up handling, in the previous model the suspension was harsh. In the new generation, the chassis has been improved and handling has become on top. The suspension remained the same, MacPherson strut in front, a beam in the back, but its settings have changed. The car was tested at the Hokkaido race track (Japanese Nurburgring), where they brought to mind the entire chassis.
Outwardly, the Honda Fit began to look fresher, the designers did not completely change the exterior, they updated and improved the old one, they did it perfectly.
Honda Fit motors remained the same, these are reliable L13A and L15A, but not without improvements. Both units have acquired a valve timing system - I-VTEC, which has increased power and reduced fuel consumption.

The power of the 1.5 liter engine has increased to 120 horsepower and 145 Hm of torque.

The main advantage and weapon of the Honda Fit is the interior, in the 2nd generation it has become more comfortable, more functional and more practical. There are 10 cupholders alone, the trunk has also become more functional, it can be divided into 4 parts using partitions. 
Modifications with a panoramic roof appeared, many liked this roof according to the Honda Airwave model. Visibility has improved, thanks to the new windows and the design of the car, the Honda Fit has no “dead zones”. 
A “near-sporty” version appeared called the Honda Fit RS, it differed in external body elements and a 1.5 liter engine with a manual transmission. 
The 2nd generation of Honda Fit turned out better than the first, the shortcomings were eliminated, the advantages were improved. The model remained the reference in its class, the 2nd generation was produced from 2007 to 2013.

Reviews from Honda Fit owners
Honda Fit 2008
Guys, I enjoy the car, every day in the morning and in the evening when I'm heading home. In conditions of city traffic jams and the simultaneous need to quickly change lanes and quickly leave the traffic lights, this is a great option. I like the driver’s high seating position, comfortable seats, lots of pockets, everything is at hand, I especially appreciated it on the track, I didn’t have to stop, there was water, here glasses, here you have a “flash drive”, etc. It seems that good good people worked on the convenience of the Honda Fit people, taken care of, in general. Everything that needs to be opened, nothing makes noise and does not clap. Quietly click - the doors quietly "slapped", quietly started up and quietly "rustled". If you need it briskly, there is an "S" mode. The rear seats fold down to the floor, you can lie down to sleep. Parking, U-turn in cramped conditions - please. They wrote that in this brand there is something with a stove, or it blows there in the wrong direction, I don’t know, perhaps by 2008 the Japanese took into account that it blows on the knees and legs down, it’s warm.
They also frightened that the Honda Fit is a noisy car, apparently, as everyone has done - it doesn’t rattle, doesn’t creak and doesn’t make anything, directly thanks to the Japanese auto industry. I like the body design, I love big cars in general, but I look at my “girl”, my soul rejoices, pleasant. Of the features that you always have to work with and always remember - when overtaking, the overtaking car disappears for a second, and there is no one in the rear mirror, and it seems in the side mirror too, but here - “zipper” and now, he is already at hand. This must be known and remembered always when rebuilding. I can’t figure out how to unlock the right rear door, it is apparently set up for children, it opens from the outside, all hands do not reach to figure it out. Honda Fit “eats” gasoline “92nd”, refueling is 600 rubles for a week, an “automatic” or a variator is very convenient, of course it’s more correct. I stuck it in one position and go to myself, just work with the “pedal”.
Advantages : design, reliability, maneuverability.
Flaws : did not notice significant.

Honda Fit 2008
I won’t write how “super-duper” it is, I’ll just write the differences from the first generation. Salon: I have a standard radio with a large screen. At the factory, Honda Fit greets you with a pleasant female voice in Japanese - nothing is clear, but cool. It only bothers when you switch the track that she constantly says his number. The rear view camera helps a lot, now I do not open the door when I park with my back to the curb. Places (personally it seemed to me so) for the driver became less. Previously, when the seat was fully retracted, I could hardly get the pedals, but now I can easily reach them. There was a stand for the left leg (very convenient). The seats have even more pronounced lateral support. The leather steering wheel looks great and is very comfortable. The view due to the large corner windows has become better. But with plastic, of course, they sold cheap. Honda Fit - the same “rattle” and “violin” (you have to glue it).
Engine: well, compared to my 86 "horses", 120 hp and VTEC are doing their job. Only now the Honda Fit has a strange sound at high speeds, somewhat reminiscent of a Subaru. Box: tiptronic is good. On the descent to "D" you can press the "petal" and the car will slow down the engine until the descent ends, after which it will turn off the manual mode itself. For the rest of the "chips" you can not tell. Suspension: guys, it's really tough. I didn’t even have a previous Honda Fit on a “low profile” like this one.
Advantages : there are a lot of pluses.
Flaws : very stiff suspension.

Honda Fit 2009
A big hello to all readers. I wanted to leave a little review about my Honda Fit. For all the time of operation there were no breakdowns, with the exception of the fifth door lock. Very good in management. "Duet" is just great. Getting behind the wheel of a Honda Fit and stepping on the gas, you don't expect these 1.5 liters to be very nimble and very sharp. The gas pedal feels very clear. True, in this configuration, the “hodovka” is a little “oakish”, but after 100 km it goes like on rails, which cannot be said about the previous model (GD-1). Atmosferka, and rides like a turbo. The review of the Honda Fit is very good - the interior is pleasant. Very spacious rear row of seats folds to the floor. It turns out a huge trunk. I even transported an acetylene cylinder with the fifth door closed. And there such cylinders will fit 6-8 pieces. The steering wheel is adjustable in two planes, as is the driver's seat.
Advantages : spacious lounge. Nimble engine. Controllability.
Flaws : hard.

Honda Fit 2010
Used to the right wheel for a couple of days. The first sensations after the "Logo" - the car is incredibly spacious, especially the place under the windshield, very comfortable. Very knocked down, the steering wheel is responsive and informative, pleasantly heavy, but not like a BMW, of course. The suspension, of course, makes you work on every bump and be focused, but everything suits me. But in corners and at speed, it gives the feeling that the car is stuck to the asphalt - it's worth it, believe me. The gears are short, you can shift to 5th at 70 km / h, but if you need to accelerate, then 1st to 60, 2nd to about 90, 3rd to 130. Then just 5th and we're going. In general, those Honda Fits that come with a 6-speed are not in vain. On the track, the 6th is really missing. In 5th gear at a speed of 120 km / h. 4000 rpm on the tachometer, a bit too much, even for a Honda engine. But it is always ready to accelerate. Appearance. All body kits, fog lights, molding for 16, factory tinting (by the way, it doesn’t look like left-handed people), a spoiler. The color is good, white mother-of-pearl, especially in the sun, it shimmers beautifully with patches. Interior and technical stuffing. Color rear view camera, a very handy thing, the main thing is to wipe it. The trunk is roomy, the rear seats fold into a flat floor, separately, and the seats also rise and you can put all sorts of things on the floor, appreciated, convenient. In short, for this class of car, I think that the space is 100% efficiently used. Worth a good audio system, omnivorous head, touch.
Advantages : comfortable interior. Spaciousness. Maneuverability. Controllability. Practicality.
Flaws : missing 6th gear.

Honda Fit 2012
My choice fell on the 2012 Honda Fit in the RS configuration, Hybrid also on a manual gearbox, for me it was not a problem to get on the mechanics, especially the Japanese one. The acceleration dynamics immediately struck me, it rides very worthy, the motor spins due to the hybrid from the very bottom. The car is also equipped with the VSA control system, which prevents the car from slipping and keeps it exactly in the direction where it is needed. Heated wipers and mirrors are very helpful in winter, when you drive from the street into a warm underground parking lot. The climate control is also electronic, only more air nozzles in the trunk have been added, perhaps this is the cooling of the hybrid battery. There are also three engine modes, these are sport, normal and eco. I drive only on eco and norm, as there are enough dynamics in the city. The wheels are already at 16 with a low rubber profile. Regarding safety, the Honda Fit added seat belts for all passengers, including the center one, as well as the head restraints of the entire rear row. Added illumination of the front cupholders. The only negative is the lack of space for a spare wheel, it was occupied by a battery of a hybrid installation, you have to travel with a spare wheel in the trunk for a long distance, and there are always harnesses in the glove compartment for quick repairs. But also the Japanese repair kit, which includes glue and a compressor, they did not forget to place in the sidebar. In general, there are only positive emotions about this car, it starts up without problems in winter, by the way, I pour only the original Honda 0w20 into Honda Fit, no comments on engine operation were found either in winter or in summer.
Advantages : dynamics. Controllability. Anti-slip system. Heated wipers.
Flaws : no space for a spare wheel.

Advantages : economical. Small dimensions. turning radius. Spaciousness. Good oven/air conditioner. Small dimensions. The relative low cost of spare parts. Appearance.
Flaws : lack of soundproofing. Too stiff suspension. Interior. Few gloveboxes.

Honda Fit 2009
The appearance of the Honda Fit is decent. It even looks very good and confident. Inside the plastic I will not say cheap dear, it does not matter to me. In my car, it is always steamed and sparkling, but in winter, of course, it squeaks until the interior warms up. So otherwise he does not bring me discomfort. The torpedo is simply huge, beautiful and dignified. When passengers sit next to me, they often say, wow, there is so much space, but it looks small. The interior of the Honda Fit is really spacious. By the way, the stove works great. Heats up well and quickly. The chassis here, of course, cannot be compared with the Crown. The chassis of the Honda Fit is stiff. Feel every hole. Therefore, in the summer I take off the pressure in the wheels and I am happy. Consumption is different. Because everyone can ride. I'm not a racer honestly, unless provoked. So, with a quiet ride in the summer, the city is 6.5 -7. Track 5.5 - 6. I got 5.0. But when 90 -110. And if you drive and overtake often in sport mode, then there will definitely be 6-6.5. In winter, the city is 8-9. Warm up for short distances. In winter, there is always a stove, and there - 30. The dynamics are very good. The engine is at least 1.3, but paired with a variator, this is a plus, and if you still transfer it to sport mode, then the Honda Fit starts very cheerfully from the traffic light and is not inferior to its fellow travelers, although two liter ones are nearby, they remain behind.
Advantages : dynamics. Controllability. Huge salon. Profitability. visibility.
Flaws : small.

Review of Honda Fit 2015: appearance of the model, interior, specifications, security systems, prices and equipment. At the end of the article - test drive Honda Fit 2015!
Review content:
For the first time, the third generation of the Honda Fit subcompact model was shown in Japan in mid-2013, and only 2 years later the car reached the European market. It is noteworthy that in the European, as well as the Russian market, the model is better known under the name "Jazz".
In comparison with the previous version, the novelty received not only a completely different exterior, but also a number of new technological solutions.
Unfortunately, at present, the car is not officially presented on the Russian market, which is surprising, since it would certainly appeal to not only women and young people, but also men. It inspires hope that at any time the management of Honda can reconsider its position and bring the machine to the domestic market.
Looking ahead a little, it is worth noting that the Hondas turned out to be a stylish, nimble and extremely practical car that can easily serve as a family car, but first things first.
Exterior of the new Honda Fit (Jazz)
With the release of the third generation Honda Fit, the car has become more like a small minivan than a hatchback. The design of the novelty captivates with its conciseness, as well as the presence of newfangled design solutions in the face of athletic vyshtampovki along the body, inflated wheel arches and original lighting. All this gives the car a certain sportiness that will undoubtedly appeal to young buyers.
The front part of the hatchback stands out with an assertive “muzzle” with somewhat aggressive head optics and a small false radiator grille.
A neat bumper with integrated air intakes and optional LED running lights and foglights deserves special attention. The profile of the novelty is distinguished by inflated wheel arches, which can accommodate R15 and R16 rims, a short hood with a heavily littered windshield, original stampings along the side doors, and a lean stern.
The stern of the Honda Fit received a stylish bumper, as well as parking lights of the original form, which make it easy to identify the car in city traffic.
Overall indicators of new items are presented by the following parameters:
- Length- 399.5 cm;
- Width- 169.4 cm;
- Height- 155 cm.
In general, the exterior of the third generation Honda Fit (Jazz) looks fresh and modern, the car stands out with its dimensions and design solutions against the background of classic urban hatchbacks.
Interior Honda Fit 2015
The interior of the car attracts the eye with a spectacular appearance of the front panel, as well as well-thought-out ergonomics and properly selected interior finishing materials, where soft plastic prevails.
The center console is slightly turned towards the driver (hello BMW) and, as standard, contains an audio system unit, as well as a microclimate control unit in the cabin represented by three circles. In richer versions, instead of the usual audio recorder, there is a large display of the multimedia information complex and a touch-sensitive climate control unit.
The dashboard with an eye for originality is represented by three wells, where the dominant place is reserved for the large dial of the speedometer.
The multifunctional steering wheel provides a comfortable grip and has excellent dimensions.
It is impossible to miss the fact that from the driver's seat, excellent visibility opens up, which is achieved through the large windshield and side windows, thin A-pillars and a large luggage compartment glass.
The front seats are pleasantly stiff and have good lateral support, but it is worth noting that passengers whose height does not exceed 1.9 m will be really comfortable on the first row seats.
The rear sofa is able to take three passengers, while the legroom for the passengers of the rear sofa has become 6.5 cm more.
However, the main feature of the interior of the updated Honda Fit is the possibility of transforming the seats, which is called the "Magic Seats system" and which is represented by three configurations. By the way, if necessary, you can lie down in the car at full height or carry a long load (up to 2480 mm).
In the stowed state, the trunk volume is 354 liters, which easily increases to 1314 liters - for this, it is enough to fold the backs of the rear sofa.
The interior of the Honda Jazz (Fit) uses decent quality materials, and the quality of fitting parts does not raise any questions even upon close examination, which adds points to the hatchback's piggy bank.
Specifications Honda Fit 2015
Under the hood of the novelty is a 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a volume of 1.3 liters and a power of 102 hp. The motor is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or a modern stepless CVT-variator. Depending on the installed transmission, acceleration from 0 to 100 varies from 11.2 (to 12) seconds, while the maximum speed declared by the manufacturer is 190 (183) km / h. Since we have a compact and modern city car in front of us, the manufacturer did not forget about efficiency - fuel consumption is 5.1 (4.9) l / 100 km in mixed mode.
The third generation Honda Fit is built on a new global B-segment platform, which provides higher body rigidity compared to the previous version. The suspension architecture of the novelty remains the same and is represented by classic MacPherson struts in front and an H-type torsion beam at the rear. At the same time, the manufacturer emphasizes that the suspension attachment points were changed in the car, and lighter and more durable materials were used.
The chassis has also undergone modernization, which provides not only excellent handling, but also has a comfortable suspension that makes it easy to overcome even large asphalt irregularities.
It is worth noting that in the home market, the line of power units is represented by a richer choice. So, a modification is available to customers with a 1.5-liter 130-horsepower gasoline engine, a 1.5-liter 137-horsepower hybrid engine and a fully electric version that develops 124 hp. at 189 Nm of torque.
From a technological point of view, the new Fit has taken a significant step forward compared to its predecessor, which has a positive impact on the handling, reliability and comfort of the car. The car also received better sound insulation, making it much more comfortable to move around in it.

Conclusion on the new Honda Fit 2015
Honda Fit, better known to the domestic buyer as the Honda Jazz, is a true city car with excellent handling and a phenomenally roomy interior by the standards of the class.
The car is one of the best offers on the market in terms of price, quality and level of equipment. In comparison with its predecessor, the model has become not only more comfortable, spacious and technically equipped, but also received a more modern and stylish appearance.
The only drawback of the car (exclusively for the European market) can be considered a limited choice of power units - they could be increased by diesel modifications that would be similar to the engines used on the updated Honda HR-V of the latest generation.
It's been getting really hot in the microvan class lately. Due to the increased demand for these small family cars, many serious companies rushed into this segment of the automotive market and old-timers, which include the Honda Fit, sometimes have a very difficult time withstanding the aggressive onslaught of young competitors. But so far, Fit has come out of these “battles” very worthily, not losing its leadership position among similar B-class cars according to the European classification.

First of all, it should be noted that there is some confusion in the very name of this often called honda fit or Jazz. We are talking about the same microvan of the Japanese company Honda Motor Co. Ltd. The main difference lies in the location of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is located on the left, and this name is more used for the European version of the car. In Japan, South and North America and China, this microvan is better known as honda fit.
At home, Fit is very popular and has been on the podium three times, winning the title of "Car of the Year" in the 2001-2002 and 2007-2008 seasons. In 2009, he was awarded the honorary title of "Japanese Car of the Decade". Agree, for a small island state with a fairly well-developed auto industry, such a title says a lot. This microvan differs from cars of this class with a relatively high roof and excellent handling. In addition, the compact dimensions do not exclude the comfortable location of five passengers in its cabin.

Attractive appearance, practical interior, optimal set of equipment, dimensions convenient for city streets turn Honda The Fit/Jazz is the ideal vehicle for couples with multiple children. Its overall dimensions - length x width x height - are: 3900 x 1695 x 1525 millimeters, which allows you not to pay much attention to the width of the roadway. And yet, a rather tough struggle for the sympathy of consumers in the global car market requires constant monitoring of the situation and timely implementation of overdue improvements.
For company designers Honda Upgrading this microvan was no easy task, as upgrading a popular car is never easy. The history of the global automotive industry knows many cases when sometimes improvements not only did not lead to the expected result, but also caused the opposite effect. It should be noted that the team of designers and designers as a whole coped well with the task. Although a number of car market experts consider the idea of using a new robotic transmission unsuccessful. In addition, many of them tend to “transfer” it from the category of microvans to the B-class hatchback segment.
Honda Fit: external calmness of the exterior
After visual inspection honda fit can be stated unequivocally - the Honda designers did a very good job and deserve the highest praise for their idea of \u200b\u200bmodernizing the appearance. Even the first cursory inspection causes a lot of positive emotions. Firstly, its external design has undergone significant changes, which has only benefited. Honda Fit has become a completely different car. Secondly, in contrast to the hint of power, aggression and dynamism of many current car models, this microvan / hatchback reassures with its appearance of a calm, sedate and self-confident successful "family man".
A modern and stylish city car has become, as it were, lighter and airier. From its predecessor, Fit received only the original teardrop shape of a somewhat convex block of headlights. All other elements of its exterior have been significantly redesigned. Jazz / Fit received a new grille and lower body kit. On the huge front bumper there is a rectangle of an additional air intake and fog lights.
The line of a strongly inclined windshield completely continues the line of the hood, rises to the middle of the body and smoothly descends to its stern. The sharp lines of the aft body with a large fifth door have a somewhat futuristic hue, which, however, in no way impairs the design of the entire body as a whole. The wedge-shaped body contours significantly improved the aerodynamic characteristics of the car, giving it more elegance.
It is noticeable that the designers paid enough attention to the aerodynamics of the Jazz/Fit. The car has become more dynamic and calmer, nothing reminds of ostentatious external power. The original glass shape and narrower pillars significantly improved visibility. Front visibility has increased by 10, and rear by all 30 percent. The panoramic roof, offered in some trim levels of this car, significantly improves interior illumination. In addition, it is believed that it can have a beneficial psychological effect and reduce stress during long downtime in traffic jams. In a word, it turned out to be a pretty nice, truly family hatchback, just a little small in appearance.
Honda Fit: unexpectedly spacious interior
Indeed, among the many pleasant surprises, one can note the more spacious and functional interior of the car, which was not visible during a visual inspection of the exterior. The driver's and front passenger's seats have become noticeably wider. There is more legroom for passengers in the back row, while you forget that you are inside a B-class car. True, it will be a little cramped for three broad-shouldered Europeans in the back, but we should not forget that this is a car for a family and five people, and three children will be spacious there.
The interior of the Honda Fit/Jazz looks stylish and modern. The designers also worked inside, which allowed the car to acquire a lot of changes - from small cosmetic ones to a complete reworking of previously existing parts. For example, the nozzles of the air conditioning system are removed under the visor, and the center console has acquired a teardrop shape ... Only the three-section layout has been preserved in the new dashboard, everything else has been completely changed. A three-spoke multifunctional steering wheel allows the driver to feel the car in full, and in more expensive trim levels it will also receive paddle shifters for shifting gears.
Perhaps the elegant “rings of Saturn” with which spherical instruments are decorated would be more appropriate for cars of a higher class, but this only adds to the Jazz / Fit additional individuality, beauty and showiness. The color of instrument illumination can be set independently, and regardless of the selected mode, instrument readings are very easy to read. In the speedometer window, in the center of the panel, a small monitor is visible, the readings of which, nevertheless, are very well read. In cars with a manual transmission, the tachometer scale also acquired an indicator for selecting the recommended gear. A smart gauge will tell you when to shift into lower or upper gear for a smooth ride and maximum fuel economy.
The version with the i-Shift robotic box received the current gear indicator. The constantly working device is located near the fuel sensor. Interior trim is made in restrained, soothing colors. The interior of the car is completely devoid of flashy colors and annoying solutions, which gives the interior atmosphere a special comfort. For decoration, soft, pleasant to the touch and visually plastic, high-quality fabric upholstery and leather for the steering wheel were used.
There are ten cup holders in the cabin, as well as many different compartments and drawers, in particular, a separate cooled drawer for soft drinks. Another nice feature of the updated Fit'a is the useful volume of the luggage compartment. It should be noted that in terms of trunk volume (384 liters), the predecessor was also the best in the B-class. The current volume of the luggage compartment is 399 liters, and with the rear seats folded down - 883 liters.
Honda Fit: Specifications
Unfortunately, in terms of equipping power units honda fit specifications are not particularly encouraging. The company left no choice, offering only a single 1.4-liter gasoline engine with 100 horsepower. This engine can be paired with two gearboxes to choose from: a 5-speed manual gearbox, as well as a 6-speed robotic gearbox, which can be switched using paddles on the steering wheel. When choosing a gearbox, it should be taken into account that honda fit specifications may vary depending on its performance.
The manual transmission provides a top speed of 182 km/h, accelerating the car from standstill to 100 km/h in 11.4 seconds. A car with a CVT has a maximum speed lower by 7 km / h, and acceleration is 1.4 seconds slower. But in this case, a slight gain in terms of fuel consumption. This pair consumes 5.4 liters of fuel per 100 km in the combined cycle, the engine with "mechanics" consumes 5.5 liters.

Otherwise, there are no special claims to the technical part. Excellent handling and optimal suspension settings ensure proper comfort, while the braking system with ventilated disc brakes and four-channel ABS ensures a high level of safety. Three trim levels are available for Russian buyers: Comfort, Elegance and Executive. Depending on the configuration of the Honda Fit, the price ranges from 629 to 789 thousand rubles.
