2026 Honda Fit.
Last Updated:
It looks like it’s almost time for a new generation Honda Fit/Jazz. The illustration above isn’t that great looking, but it does show a really cool design with some welcomed retro Honda design cues.
The Honda Fit was sold in the US from 2006 to 2020, through 3 generations. A fourth generation came out in 2020 but has never been sold in North America, since Honda decided to focus on the HR-V instead, which is really too bad as the Fit had many fans in the US. The current 4th generation is even available as a Hybrid in some markets.
Honda seems to be getting ready to launch a fifth-generation as soon as the end of this year. And of course, it will not be coming to the US. Again, too bad. Especially for the Hybrid version. I am currently test-driving a Civic Hybrid hatchback and have had no problem averaging 55MPG. I can only imagine what a smaller Hybrid Fit would get.
Sales of the Fit in the US never went over 80,000 units a year, which was back in 2008. By the time Honda killed it over here in 2020, numbers were down to 32,488. At the same time, the HR-V went from 42,000 units in 2015 to over 122,000 last year. I guess it’s hard to make a business case for the poor old FIt over here.
And yet, why not!
