The Fit can carry a load of 400 kg. Dimensions of the Fit: The Fit measures 4065mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1525mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2530mm. Power specifications of the Fit: The Fit is equipped with an L15B2 naturally aspirated engine, featuring i-VTEC and direct injection technology, delivering a maximum power of 131 horsepower and 155 Nm of torque. Fuel consumption of the Fit: The third-generation Fit utilizes Honda's new "Earth Dreams Technology" powertrain system, maintaining high power output while reducing fuel demand, resulting in a low fuel consumption of 5.3L per 100km, achieving the lowest fuel consumption in its class. Additionally, the Fit is the first to feature the Idle-stop engine energy-saving automatic start-stop system and the ECON intelligent green energy-saving assist system, further enhancing fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness.
I just studied the Fit's manual, and the standard load capacity is 375 kg (about the weight of 4-5 adults). This number includes the driver, passengers, and luggage in the trunk. Last time I moved, I stuffed it with six suitcases and piled the back seat with miscellaneous items. The suspension sank to the bottom when driving, and I felt so bad that I quickly unloaded. Remember, the trunk's steel plate has limited thickness, so it's best to spread heavy items flat instead of stacking them too high, otherwise, they might lunge forward during sudden braking. The thin metal in the spare tire compartment is even less capable of handling heavy items—I've seen someone stuff two bags of cement in there and it got deformed instantly.
