Fit 2015 Body Repair Manual
New for 2015 The redesigned gains a new, more aggressive exterior styling, and a new 1.5-liter I-4 with 130 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque paired to either a new six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT). Has also added standard auto on-off headlights, LED brake lights, Bluetooth connectivity, and center console storage with an armrest. Upper trim levels are now available with heated seats, leather upholstery, push button start, a seven-inch touch screen for audio and navigation functions, and a power moonroof. Vehicle Summary The is a subcompact four-door hatchback that slots under the compact Civic sedan and coupe, and sold in three trim levels. Overview The solidifies its position as one of the top subcompact cars in the market with a more powerful and efficient powertrain and a better chassis.
Handling remains one of its strong suits due to its revised suspension setup and excellent steering, which make it satisfying to take corners and maneuver the car through tight spaces. While the engine is not particularly powerful, the new six-speed manual and CVT transmissions are well tuned and work well in taking advantage of available power. Fuel economy is impressive with CVT-equipped LX models achieving a remarkable 33/41 mpg city/highway while higher trim levels get 32/38 mpg. Manual models are the least efficient at a respectable 29/37 mpg. Interior space is where the 2015 Fit excels with a highly usable and flexible cabin thanks to Honda’s multi-folding “Magic Seats” in the rear, which allows cargo room to expand to 52.7 cubic feet. Tech features are now in abundance in the 2015 Fit with an available navigation system, Honda’s Lane Watch system, a new multi-angle rearview camera, and HDMI-ready infotainment system. Additionally, Honda has also made the car’s interior feel more upscale with available leather upholstery and heated front seats.

The 2015 is considered a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS, earning a good rating on four categories and an acceptable score in the small overlap front test (good is the highest possible score). UPDATE: Honda’s LaneWatch system, which uses a camera on the right side mirror to display what’s in the blind spot on the infotainment screen, is also standard on EX and higher trim levels.
The NHTSA gave the 2015 Honda Fit a five-star overall safety rating (out of a possible five stars). Early-build 2015 Fits didn’t meet the criteria for the Top Safety Pick designation and Honda has announced that it will retrofit these models with the updated front bumper beam free of charge so that they will comply as a Top Safety Pick. What We Think The redesigned 2015 Honda Fit is one of the best subcompact cars because of its spacious interior, small size, excellent fuel economy and nimble handling. In a, we said that Honda has “taken the Fit’s celebrated DNA and painstakingly evolved it into a smarter, more solid, and far more sophisticated fourth generation.” New tech features and improved interior build quality has made the 2015 Fit into a solid, technologically advanced subcompact car that’s fun to drive and easy to live with. The car’s agility comes at the price of a slightly firm ride but not jarring due to the revised torsion-beam rear suspension. We noted in a First Drive review that due to this change, smaller bumps are “smoothly transmitted” compared to the previous generation Fit.

The Honda Fit, also marketed in some countries as the Jazz, is a subcompact five-door vehicle, unveiled by the Japanese carmaker back in 2001. The car is available in wagon or hatchback configurations and features front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive being an option. The first generation of the Honda Fit came powered with a 1.2, 1.3, or 1.5 L gasoline inline-4 engine mated to a five-speed gearbox (both manual and automatic versions are available). In 2010, the hybrid version of the Fit was added, which became the most affordable hybrid vehicle in Japan. The light weight and simple hybrid powertrain combines fuel economy with impressive performance characteristics.
When the vehicle is heavily used on a daily basis, it is impossible to avoid chips on the windshield and dents on the body caused by road debris. In case your vehicle lost its factory look, it is a good idea to replace damaged, dented, or rusted parts. Of course, you may need to look for the replacement on junkyards, but there is a chance to purchase something similar to the part you already have. Or you can order a new component from the dealer, but get ready to pay high price. There is another option – you can get an OE-style windshield, hood, fenders, and much more in our Honda Fit body parts online catalog at fair price.
