The all-new 2009 Honda Fit, is all geared to go on sale in the U.S. this fall. The Fit promises to further its leadership in the subcompact segment with top-of-class feature content, including an available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System; improved interior functionality, including one-motion dive-down rear seats; enhanced sporty demeanor through improved suspension, steering and body rigidity; and high levels of standard safety equipment, including Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure.

The new Fit boasts of a new 1.5-literi-VTEC 4-cylinder engine mated to either a 5-speed manual transmission or an available 5-speed automatic transmission, which includes steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters on the Fit Sport. The new engine is designed to offer the best balance of fuel economy* and power.

Dimensionally compact on the outside, the interior provides surprisingly large passenger and class-leading cargo space to maximize comfort and utility. At the foundation is an improved rear Magic Seat, now featuring one-motion dive-down functionality, which allows the rear seat to fold flat with the front seats in the rearmost slide position and without removing the rear head restraints. Adding further refinement, Fit Sport offers an available factory-installed Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition, featuring a 6.5-inch screen. All Fit Sport models feature a USB audio interface1 compatible with current generation iPods and many USB storage devices.

The all-new Fit Sport comes with a host of impressive safety features including Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure; active front head restraints; dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags; front-side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); side-curtain airbags; anti-lock braking system (ABS); Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD); and available Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA).
