How Much Horsepower Does the Fit Have?
2 Answers
The Fit has 131 horsepower. Horsepower is a commonly used unit of measurement for power in engineering, equivalent to the work done by lifting 75 kilograms one meter in one second. The Fit is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 96kW and a maximum torque of 155Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 6,600 rpm. It is paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The Fit is a hatchback introduced by GAC Honda, featuring Honda's new family-style front fascia design concept "Solid Wing," where the front grille integrates seamlessly with the headlights, highlighting a sharp and sporty look. The side profile of the car adopts a unique and dynamic blade-style double waistline design, creating an eager-to-go forward momentum.
As a Fit owner, I drive the latest 1.5L version with around 130 horsepower, which is more than enough for daily city commuting and highway overtaking. The car starts without hesitation, accelerates decently, and you can feel the throttle responds quite actively, though it doesn't give the strong push-back feeling like high-displacement cars. Fuel efficiency is a highlight—my daily commute averages less than 6 liters per 100 km. The horsepower tuning is well-balanced, striking a good compromise between practicality and cost. Occasionally taking my family out for a ride, the spacious interior and sufficient power make uphill driving effortless. I'd advise new owners to pay attention to maintenance, such as regular oil changes and air filter cleaning, to ensure stable engine output and maintain original performance.
