Is the Fit equipped with the Earth Dreams engine?
3 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.
From a technical perspective, the Fit is indeed equipped with Honda's Earth Dreams engine. The Earth Dreams series represents Honda's core technology, and I've studied its features: it employs direct fuel injection, an optimized valve train system, and a compression ratio increased to 11.5:1. The direct result is nearly 20% better fuel efficiency compared to previous models. The Fit's 1.5L engine delivers 96 kW of power and 155 Nm of torque, outperforming competitors in its class. What I appreciate most is its fuel economy – my real-world testing shows around 5.8 liters per 100 km. Additionally, the engine noise is well controlled, remaining relatively quiet even when revving above 4,000 rpm. Remember to use full synthetic oil during regular maintenance to extend the engine's lifespan.
