III (facelift 2017) Overview:
Honda FIT (III (facelift 2017)). With 155 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 1150 kg, it’s quite light. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
1.5 (132 Hp) 4WD Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Similar power to the FWD version, but the added weight of 4WD slightly dulls acceleration. Still competent for daily driving.
Fuel Economy
Good fuel economy, though marginally lower than the FWD variant due to the 4WD system's added weight and friction.
