Model Changes - 2020 vs 2019 Honda Fit in Lumberton NC
View InventoryOverview
The 2020 Honda Fit may be among the most anticipated new vehicles in the Honda lineup. Enter the 2020 model, which ushers in an all-new fourth generation. As of this writing, the Fit has been introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show, but a U.S. release has not yet been set. What that means is that some of the details for our market are still to be finalized and are subject to change. Still, the team at Lumberton Honda near Fayetteville Wilmington Bennettsville knows enough to provide you an early look at a 2020 vs 2019 model comparison.
Exterior - 2020 Honda Fit
While the exterior has been redesignedāincluding a reimagined logoāHonda engineers have remained true to the form that has made the Fit among the most subcompacts on the road. The design is now just cleaner, more modern and perhaps more upbeat, and the front end is the area where the Fit has received the most makeover treatment. The headlamps and taillamps are much more striking and feature a multidimensional aesthetic. In addition, the Fit will be available with an optional package that makes the Fit more like a crossover: increased ride height, roof rails and unique styling elements.
Interior - 2020 Honda Fit in Lumberton
For the Fit, Honda positions the fuel tank at the center of the vehicle, and this is an important component of the Fitās critically acclaimed space layout. Although you can expect a brand new interior, this is one aspect that Honda has already confirmed is not changing.
Honda has focused on making the base Fit more comfortable. The seats have been upgraded to a higher-quality and more natural-looking fabric. The upper trims will feature premium leather upholstery. Across the lineup, driver position has been adjusted to provide a better view of the road. The infotainment system has been redesigned. The base touchscreen size is now larger, and consumers can expect smartphone integration and the like in the base equipment.
Mechanical - Honda Fit specs in Lumberton
The 2019 model is a front-wheel drive vehicle without an all-wheel drive option, and that is expected to be the case for 2020 as well, but otherwise, big changes lie ahead. The 2019 engine is a 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder that makes a 130 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque if you opt for the six-speed manual transmission and 128 hp and 113 lb.-ft. if you instead choose the CVT.
The continuously variable automatic transmission is expected to become standard across the lineup with perhaps one trimāsuch as the LX or Sportāthat still comes with the manual. In addition, the main engine has been changed to the one used in the Honda Insight. It is still a 1.5L I4 but combined with a lithium-ion battery and two electric motors. Fuel performance is improved and so are the horses at 151.
Safety - 2020 Honda Fit dealer
The 2019 Honda Fit available at our location near Fayetteville Wilmington Bennettsville can be had with the Honda Sensing package. It is included with the EX and EX-L. It is available with the LX and Sport, but you have to opt for the CVT trim. The EX is the only way to get the manual with the Sensing equipment.
The 2020 model is expected to change things up quite a bit. The trend across the Honda lineup has been to make Honda Sensing standard equipment, and that is expected for the Fit as well. This means that even if you opt for the base LX, you will get the whole kit and caboodle: adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, road departure avoidance and lane departure avoidance. Honda LaneWatch, which automatically displays your blind spots via the center screen, will once again be included standard with the EX trim and up and made available as an option for the lower trims.
