2 Answers
The maximum horsepower of the Fit is 131ps. Taking the 2021 Fit as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4109mm in length, 1694mm in width, and 1537mm in height, a wheelbase of 2530mm, a fuel tank capacity of 40l, and a curb weight of 1088kg. The 2021 Fit features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension, with a front-wheel-drive layout. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum torque of 155Nm and a maximum power of 69kW, paired with a CVT transmission.
Someone recently asked me about the Fit's maximum horsepower. I know this Honda Fit compact car is quite popular. As a seasoned driver with years of experience in small cars, I recall the latest 1.5L four-cylinder engine delivers around 130 horsepower, with the engine code from the L15 series. This power is more than sufficient for city driving. The Fit's horsepower isn't exceptionally high, but it's well-optimized. Paired with a CVT transmission, it offers smooth acceleration, quick start-up response, and slightly improved horsepower over previous models while maintaining fuel efficiency. I've had no issues overtaking in the city or driving on highways—throttle control is steady, noise levels are low, and long trips aren't fatiguing. The space design is a highlight, with the versatile Magic Seats being incredibly practical for loading larger items without compromising handling. With this horsepower and a fuel consumption of 5-6L/100km, the Fit makes a great commuting companion, especially for beginners or drivers who prefer relaxed driving. It also has some tuning potential; adding a simple kit can enhance its sporty feel, but I wouldn't recommend modifying core components. In short, the 130-horsepower balance between practicality and economy is well-struck—just be sure to test-drive and feel the throttle response when choosing a car.
