Apart from scoring big on space, the compact city car also impresses on the safety department by offering automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning with assist right from the base LX trim in its automatic transmission guise. Under the hood of this vehicle lies a standard 1.5-liter naturally aspirated I-4 DOHC i-VTEC motor that generates 130 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque. The performance and handling feel adequate for both city and highway usage while the exceptional refinement of that i-VTEC is noticeable out on the freeways. In the segment, the Fit competes with the Nissan Versa Note, the Chevrolet Spark, and the Kia Rio hatchback.
