About the 2013 Honda Fit
2nd-generation U.S. Fit (2009-2013), final year for the gasoline hatchback in the U.S.; lineup expands with the new Fit EV electric offshoot.
Honda positions the Fit as a tiny hatchback with unusually smart interior packaging. The core appeal is not speed or luxury, but how much people-and-cargo flexibility it squeezes into a very small footprint. Big windows, easy city maneuverability and the Magic Seat cabin layout make it more useful than many other subcompacts. In 2013, that practical personality still defines the gas Fit, while the Fit EV applies the same small-hatch idea to short-range electric commuting.
The gasoline Fit remains a small, city-friendly hatchback with a flexible 60/40 Magic Seat and a 117-hp 1.5-liter engine. The Sport adds alloy wheels, fog lights and sharper exterior trim, while the new Fit EV is a more fully equipped electric commuter with navigation, heated front seats and a rearview camera.
