What is the model code for the Fit?
2 Answers
Each model has a different code. The 1.3L model is coded as GE6, while the 1.5L model is coded as GE8. The naming convention for these codes is based on the chassis code, a method commonly adopted by many manufacturers. Here is some relevant information about the Fit: 1. Models: There are three generations of the Fit sold in China. The specific codes are as follows: First-generation Fit: The 1.3L model is coded as GD1, and the 1.5L model is coded as GD3. Second-generation Fit: The 1.3L model is coded as GE6, and the 1.5L model is coded as GE8. Third-generation Fit: The 1.3L model was not introduced; only the 1.5L model is available, coded as GK5. 2. Performance: The Fit is equipped with a 1.5L L4 naturally aspirated engine, delivering 96 kW of power and 155 Nm of torque, making it unrivaled among engines in its class. The manual transmission model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under nine seconds, while the automatic transmission model does it in under ten seconds, offering strong performance without compromising on fuel efficiency.
Just talked about this with friends recently, and the Honda Fit is frequently mentioned in our car modification circle. The third-generation Fit, launched around 2013 with the chassis code GK5, is particularly famous, especially the 1.5L naturally aspirated version. With 131 horsepower and a lightweight body, it has huge modification potential. Nowadays, GK5s are still highly sought after in the used car market, and there are countless aftermarket parts available. However, each generation of the Fit has a different chassis code: the first generation is GD3, the second is GE8, and the latest fourth generation is GR9. At track days, you often see stock GK5s modified with just coilover suspensions and lightweight wheels, and they perform surprisingly well.
