All 2015 Fits are powered by a new 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that makes 130hp. There are two available transmissions, a 6-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Power is sent to the front wheels and while nobody would accuse the Fit of being a sports car, acceleration is peppy, reflecting an increase in power over last year's model.
The Fit comes in three different trim levels: LX, EX and EX-L. Base LX trimmed Fits come with plenty of standard features including Bluetooth connectivity, air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, automatic headlights, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel, a 160-watt AM/FM/CD player, a 5-inch color screen, a USB port and an audio input jack for MP3 players.
EX-trimmed Fits come equipped with a smart entry system, fog lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, hands-free text messaging, push button start, a 180-watt display type audio system with a 7-inch screen, an HDMI port, Pandora internet radio compatibility and a 1-touch power moonroof with tilt functionality.
The top of the line EX-L comes standard with the CVT transmission and features a leather wrapped interior, which is a first for the Honda Fit. In addition to the leather seating surfaces, the Fit EX-L comes with a leather wrapped steering wheel, heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals, as well as heated front seats. The EX-L is also available with a navigation system, a feature which adds SiriusXM and HD radio.
Safety features are standard across all trim levels for the Fit, so even base LX models benefit from the whole host of safety devices available for the car. Airbags include front, multiple threshold airbags, side airbags and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. Anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control are all included along with brake assist and a tire pressure monitoring system.

The Honda Fit has been given a total redesign for 2015. The new Fit gets not just a new exterior and interior, but also a new engine and new transmission options as well.
The Honda Fit competes with other subcompacts such as the Ford Fiesta, the Fiat 500 and the Toyota Yaris. It's an extremely competitive class of vehicle, but Honda has successfully been building excellent subcompacts longer than just about any other manufacturer in the United States. The big selling point for the 2015 Fit, is how much space it crams into a relatively small footprint. It offers nearly five more cubic feet of interior volume than last year's model; at the same time, the 2015 Fit is actually shorter in length than that one. Pricing starts at $15,525 which is slightly more than a couple of its competitors, but the Fit's price reflects the high level of standard features that come with the car.
