What are the Honda hatchback models?

Honda hatchback models include the Dongfeng Honda Jade and the GAC Honda Fit. The Jade measures 4667mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1530mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2760mm. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a double-wishbone independent rear suspension. The car is equipped with two engine options: a 1.5T and a 1.8L, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT. The 1.8L engine delivers a maximum output of 104 kW, a peak torque of 174 Nm, a top speed of 187 km/h, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 13.6 seconds. The Fit measures 4096mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1525mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2530mm. It comes with a 1.5L engine across all variants, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT. The 1.5L engine produces a maximum output of 96 kW, a peak torque of 155 Nm, and a top speed of 180 km/h.
I've also been researching Honda hatchbacks recently, focusing mainly on practicality and space. The Fit is definitely the top choice for families—compact on the outside but with a magically designed interior space. The rear seats can fold completely flat, even fitting a stroller inside. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine sips just around 6L/100km, and maintenance is affordable. The Civic Hatchback is sportier, with a more practical trunk than the sedan version, and the 1.5T engine offers stronger performance at a slightly higher fuel cost. The Fit now even comes in a hybrid version, which is especially fuel-efficient in stop-and-go traffic thanks to electric driving. My personal recommendation: go for the Fit if you mostly drive in the city, but consider the Civic Hatchback if you love road trips and need more luggage space.
As a car modification enthusiast, what attracts me most about Honda hatchbacks is their modification potential. The Fit GK5 is perfect for a low stance - with its lightweight factory design, just swapping to a set of coilovers can achieve great results. The Civic Hatchback's sporty styling comes with factory body kits, and installing a center-exit exhaust will turn heads. Both cars have incredibly durable engines - the Fit's L15B can gain 10% horsepower with just an ECU tune. In the used car market, the Fit holds its value amazingly well - you can basically sell it after two years of modding without losing money. If you're on a tight budget, I'd recommend picking up a used Fit for modifications. With more funds, go straight for the Civic Hatchback to perfect that stance.
