Two engines were offered in the second-generation Fit. The vehicle offered a longer wheelbase than its predecessor and is wider and longer overall. At its introduction in 2007, it won the Car of the Year Japan Award for the second time. The second-generation Fit/Jazz debuted on 17 October 2007 at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show. Main article: Honda Fit (second generation) All four engines are based on Honda's L-series engine family. Depending on the region, the Fit is available with a 1.2-, 1.3- (in Europe referred as 1.4 L model), 1.5-liter i-DSI engine, or 1.5-liter VTEC engine. The first-generation Fit uses Honda's Global Small Car platform, which is also used by Fit Aria/City (a sedan version of the Fit), the Airwave (a station wagon version of Fit Aria/City), the Mobilio, and Mobilio Spike. The car was released in Canada and the U.S. Confusingly, in Europe this Jazz is typically referred to as Mark II Jazz, especially by automotive part suppliers, the Mark I Jazz being the 1981-86 Honda City, named 'Jazz' in Europe at the time.Ī production model for the United States and Canada debuted in January 2006 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The first-generation Fit debuted in June 2001 in Japan and subsequently was introduced in Europe (early 2002), Australia (late 2002), South America (early 2003), South Africa and Southeast Asia (2003), China (September 2004), and Mexico (late 2005). Main article: Honda Fit (first generation) Starting from 2020, the model was phased out in most Southeast Asian and Latin American countries to be replaced by the larger City Hatchback, while it was withdrawn entirely from the North American market due to falling demand within the subcompact segment. The fourth-generation model released in 2019 is currently sold in Japan, Europe, China, Taiwan, South Africa, Brunei and Singapore. In 2012, Honda released the Fit EV, a limited-production all-electric version based on the second-generation model in the United States and Japan, and was widely regarded as a compliance car. Honda released hybrid petrol-electric versions of the Fit in Japan in October 2010 and in Europe in early 2011. Sharing Honda's global small car platform with the City, Airwave, first-generation Mobilio, Freed and HR-V/Vezel, the Fit is noted for its one-box or monospace design forward-located fuel tank configurable seats that fold in several ways to accommodate cargo in varying shapes and sizes- and cargo volume competitive to larger vehicles. Honda uses the "Jazz" nameplate in Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, Africa, Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia and India and "Fit" in Japan, Sri Lanka, China, Taiwan and the Americas. Marketed worldwide and manufactured at ten plants in eight countries, sales reached almost 5 million by mid-2013. It has a five-door hatchback body style and is considered a supermini in the United Kingdom, a subcompact car in the United States, and a light car in Australia. The Honda Fit ( Japanese: ホンダ・フィット, Hepburn: Honda Fitto) or Honda Jazz is a small car manufactured and marketed by Honda since 2001 over four generations.
