4 Features to Love About the 2017 Honda Fit

Calling all hatchback enthusiasts! Meet the 2017 Honda Fit, a five-door subcompact hatchback. Thanks to several upgrades, the newest Fit rivals the competition in terms of its styling, in-cabin amenities, and versatility. Browse this list of four features on the 2017 Honda Fit that you’re sure to love.

1. Enjoy the Comfortable, Attractive Cabin

Whether your itinerary takes you across town or across the country, the Fit creates a comfortable environment to make your time on the road more pleasant. Because of its openness, the Fit’s cabin offers exceptional visibility and more space than you’d expect to find in a car classified as a subcompact. In fact, the passenger legroom in the back is so spacious at 39.3 inches, it exceeds the legroom dimensions of most midsize sedans.

The EX-L trim comes with heated leather seats for premium comfort. Through a 7-inch touchscreen, passengers have access to the newest version of HondaLink, a robust entertainment system. In addition to the amenities, the Honda Fit’s interior has an eye-catching aesthetic. The cabin is black with silver accents, a bold design choice that complements the backlit instrument dials that have a soft blue glow.

2. Appreciate the Versatility

A center-mounted fuel tank brings flexibility to the car’s layout, allowing for space that you can reconfigure to accommodate passengers, cargo, or a combination of the two. Meanwhile, the back seat has cushions that flip up, a feature so unique that Honda calls it the Magic Seat. With the cushions in the upright position, the foot wells are deep enough to haul tall items such as a bicycle.

The back seat also folds down in a 60/40 split to make room for bulky items that don’t quite fit in the rear cargo space. When the rear seats fold down, the Fit has 52.7 cubic feet of cargo space. Need to haul extra-long items? Rely on the front seat to accommodate your cargo. It lays back flat to make room for items measuring up to 7 feet 9 inches long.

3. Experience the Exceptional Performance

Thanks to its chassis and suspension, the 2017 Honda Fit provides the sporty handling you expect to get from a hatchback. Some drivers report feeling a strong connection to the vehicle because it’s so responsive. Powerful acceleration makes the Fit a pleasure to drive. As for the source of the power, the Fit has a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that puts out 130 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque.

4. Admire the Exterior

Thanks to its strong lines and curvy silhouette, the 2017 Honda Fit has a modern, sporty design. The sloping hood and windshield combine with an aggressively-styled lower intake to create the eye-catching exterior. From the side, the car’s design draws the eye toward the wheels. Created with aerodynamics in mind, the tapered roofline culminates in back with a spoiler. Honda offers the 2017 Fit in eight colors, some of which are unusually brilliant.

If you’re ready to get behind the wheel of a sporty, attractive, high-performing hatchback, you need to check out the 2017 Honda Fit. It may be the perfect fit for you.
