The Honda Fit is Honda's small hatchback, sold in most other countries as the Honda Jazz. It is famous for how much it fits inside: the fuel tank sits under the front seats, so the rear "Magic Seats" fold completely flat or flip up to carry tall items. It is cheap to run and one of the most popular small cars exported from Japan.
Generations
| Generation | Years | Powertrains | Grades |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd (GK/GP5) | 2013–2020 | 1.3 and 1.5 petrol, or 1.5 Sport Hybrid i-DCD with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox | 13G, 15XL, RS, Hybrid, Hybrid F / L / S Package |
| 4th (GR) | 2020 onwards | 1.3 petrol, or 1.5 e:HEV two-motor hybrid | Basic, Home, Ness, Crosstar, Luxe |
- F Package is the value hybrid grade, L Package adds comfort equipment, and S Package is the sporty one.
- The 4th-generation e:HEV drives mostly on its electric motor and is smoother than the older dual-clutch hybrid.
Hybrid or Petrol?
The Fit Hybrid uses very little fuel in town. The 1.3 petrol is simpler and cheaper to fix where hybrid mechanics are scarce. See our hybrid or petrol guide.
What to Check
- Dual-clutch gearbox (3rd-generation hybrid): ask about judder when pulling away slowly. Early 2013–2014 cars had several software recalls; ask whether they were done.
- Hybrid warning lights: ask whether the auction sheet mentions any.
- CVT gearbox (petrol): ask whether the inspector noted judder or whining.
- Mileage: see how to spot odometer rollback.
- Auction sheet: read how to read a Japanese auction sheet.
Age Limits: Which Countries Can Take One
Some countries cap the age of an imported car: Jamaica allows up to 5 years, Trinidad & Tobago 4 years, and Kenya and Guyana 8 years. The Bahamas, Barbados, Suriname, the Eastern Caribbean islands such as Saint Lucia and Antigua, Uganda and Tanzania have no strict age limit on our checker. Rules change, so always confirm with your clearing agent before you pay.
A 3rd-generation Fit from 2018 or later can go to Kenya and Guyana. For Jamaica and Trinidad you need a recent 4th-generation car.
