The 2012 Honda Fit To Get Updated

The 2012 Honda Fit will get updated styling and equipment.

Honda’s versatile, fuel-efficient, and fun five-door now features a quieter interior and a range of other new features for the 2012 model year. The B-segment continues to be an important segment as more consumers search for fuel efficient cars, and the 2012 Honda Fit will maintain its appeal thanks to its reasonably-sized exterior dimensions and cavernous interior.

For 2012, the Fit will receive new standard equipment and a few minor updates to its styling. Sport models will feature new grilles, black headlight bezels and a new finish for the 16-inch alloy wheels. The base model will boast body-colored mirrors and a new wheel cover design. Last but not least, the Fit Sport will include steering wheel-mounted audio controls, as well as Bluetooth hands-free telephone on navigation-equipped cars.

The 2012 Fit will continue to be powered by Honda’s venerable 1.5-liter four cylinder engine, which produces 117 horsepower and 106 pound-feet of torque. Buyers will be able to choose between a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission.

The Honda Fit may not change much for the new model year, but it will continue to offer an award-winning formula. Awards and accolades for the Fit include:

  • Car and Driver Magazine’s “10Best Cars” list continuously from 2007 through 20112
  • In the 2011 J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study, the Fit earned the highest initial quality score in its segment
  • The Fit has also been named a 2011 Top Recommended vehicle by Edmunds.com in its 2011 New Car Sedan Buying Guide.
  • Fit captured the 2011 Residual Value Award for “Best Sub Compact Car” from ALG.
