2009 Honda Fit
New York, New York - Honda has unveiled the all-new 2009 Honda Fit, which made its North American debut at the New York International Auto Show. Scheduled to go on sale in Canada this fall, the new Fit includes best-in-class feature content and improved interior functionality, including one-motion dive-down rear seats, along with improved suspension, steering and body rigidity.
"The new Fit is designed to raise the bar in the Canadian subcompact market by taking what is already great about the Fit and making it even better with an increased fun-to-drive character, in addition to enhanced refinement and safety," said Jerry Chenkin, senior vice president of Honda Canada Inc. "With the recent rise in fuel costs, the fuel-efficient Fit is the ideal vehicle for Canadians looking for lower fuel costs partnered with high value and functionality."
The foundation of the Fit's class-leading cargo space is an improved rear Magic Seat, which now features one-motion dive-down functionality, which allows the rear seat to fold flat with the front seats in the rearmost slide position, and without removing the rear head restraints. A new hidden storage bin under the driver's seat provides a secure place to store small items. The Fit Sport now features a USB audio interface compatible with current-generation iPods and many USB storage devices.
The 2009 Fit features a new 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine with five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, along with larger 15-inch wheels (16-inch on Fit Sport).
