What are the differences between Fit and Life?
2 Answers
The main differences between the two lie in their configurations. Life comes with 16-inch wheels, while Fit has 15-inch wheels; Life does not have a sunroof, whereas Fit does; Life is equipped with LED high/low beam headlights and automatic headlights, while Fit uses halogen headlights and lacks automatic headlights. Below is the relevant information: 1. Configurations: Both have tire pressure warning systems, 7-inch LCD instrument clusters, fabric seats, one-key start, ESP body stability systems, and other basic safety features, and both only have two speakers. 2. The main missing configurations are: neither has electric seat adjustment, neither has a central control screen, and neither has parking sensors or a reversing camera. 3. The main configuration differences between the two are: Life has an 8-inch central control screen and a reversing camera, while Fit does not; Life has front keyless entry, while Fit does not. 4. The obvious differences are: Life has additional features such as a reversing camera, paddle shifters, front fog lights, and heated rearview mirrors.
I previously accompanied a friend to a 4S dealership to look at cars, and the salesperson mentioned that these two are essentially the same car, except that Guangqi Honda calls it the Fit, while Dongfeng Honda calls it the Life, similar to the relationship between the Corolla and the Levin. In terms of differences, the most noticeable one is the front fascia—the Life features a honeycomb grille with sporty surrounds, giving it a more Civic-like style, whereas the Fit's front grille is relatively more conservative. The interiors are practically identical, with both offering impressive cargo space and light steering. Oh, and there are minor configuration differences in the base models—I remember noticing last year that the entry-level Life came with an extra radio speaker compared to the Fit. Dongfeng Honda might occasionally offer slightly bigger discounts to compete in the market. If you're on a tight budget, it's advisable to visit both dealerships and compare prices for a better deal.
