2 Answers
The Fit 1.5L is equipped with the Earth Dreams engine, which has a maximum power of 96.0 kW and a maximum torque of 155.0 Nm. This engine is based on DOHC and VTEC technologies, incorporating VTC (Variable Timing Control, the intelligent ignition timing control mechanism in the intelligent variable valve timing and lift control system), and utilizes the Atkinson cycle and direct fuel injection technology. The dimensions of the Fit 1.5L are 4109 mm in length, 1694 mm in width, and 1537 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2530 mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), a top speed of 190 km/h, electric power steering, and a unibody structure.
I've been driving the Fit for two years, and I'm certain it's equipped with the Earth Dreams engine. The main features of Earth Dreams technology are fuel efficiency and strong power. For my daily commute in the city, the fuel consumption is around 6 liters, and it's even more economical on the highway. I remember when I first bought it, the salesperson specifically mentioned that this engine uses a direct injection system, has high intake efficiency, and pairs with a CVT transmission for very quick power response. However, the Earth Dreams engine has higher fuel requirements—I always use 95-octane gasoline and regularly clean carbon deposits to maintain good working condition. Friends who also drive the Fit say this engine is quite durable, and maintenance isn't expensive, making it very suitable as a family car.
