Is the Fit's engine imported or domestically produced?
1 Answers
Fit is not an imported car, but a joint venture model. Powertrain: The Fit is equipped with a domestically assembled L15B2 1.5L direct-injection naturally aspirated engine. It delivers maximum power output of 96kW (131PS) and peak torque of 155N·m, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or CVT. Precautions: The engine inherently features fuel cut-off during deceleration - keeping it in neutral actually reduces fuel efficiency. If you notice oil stains on the ground, check for potential engine oil leaks and promptly consult your 4S dealership to eliminate safety hazards. After high-speed driving or hill climbing, avoid immediate engine shutdown; let it idle for 10 minutes first. Vehicles with turbochargers accumulate carbon deposits several times faster than naturally aspirated engines.
