  • Fit stands out as the clear segment leader with a fun-to-drive character, exceptional people- and cargo-hauling versatility, and premium feature content
  • With available Honda Sensing®, Fit is among the most affordable new cars to offer such a comprehensive suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies

The fun, versatile and stylish 2019 Honda Fit begins arriving at dealerships nationwide on April 30 with a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)1 of $16,190 (excluding $890 destination and handling), unchanged from the previous model year. The 2019 Fit continues to boast unparalleled versatility, premium feature content and a playful, city-friendly demeanor – particularly with its standard 6-speed manual gearbox.  

The 2019 Fit lineup includes the affordable-yet well-equipped Fit LX, aggressively styled Fit Sport, the upgraded Fit EX, and leather-lined Fit EX-L. With available Honda Sensing®, the 2019 Fit provides one of the most robust suites of advanced driver-assistive and safety technology packages in the subcompact car segment. Better yet, Fit LX models equipped with Honda Sensing® start under $18,0001.

Combined to either a slick-shifting 6-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT2), Fit’s 1.5-liter direct-injected 4-cylinder i-VTEC™ engine produces a peak output of up to 130 horsepower and 114 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2019 Fit carries an EPA fuel economy rating of 29/36/31 mpg (city/highway/combined)3 for the manual transmission, and 33/40/36 mpg for CVT models.
