Honda has announced it will begin sales of the Honda Fit (known as Jazz in Europe) in Japan today. The popular small car retains all its best features - class leading economy, cabin space to rival mid-sized sedans, and easy maneuverability - yet has been updated with some subtle design changes and clever interior space solutions.
Two i-VTEC engines will be availabl
e on the new car, a 1.5-liter and a super frugal 1.3-liter, which delive
rs maximum output of 100PS. A CVT transmission is also available. In the chassis, a longer wheelbase and wider track are claimed to offer better stability, maneuverability and handling.
A rotating passenger seat is available on the Japanese-market car which takes full advantage of the Fit's easy access. The seat has a higher position than previously, has additional foot space and features a specially contoured seat cushion. The seat enables easy loading and unloading of a wheelchair through the rear seats.
