2019 Honda Fit: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Honda Fit is largely a carryover, with one meaningful change: models equipped with the Honda Sensing driver-assistance suite gain automatic high-beam headlights. The engine, transmissions, styling, touchscreen hardware, seating system, and chassis remain essentially unchanged.
About the 2019 Honda Fit
3rd generation (US model years 2015-2020), second year after the 2018 mid-cycle refresh
Honda positioned the Fit as a city-friendly subcompact hatchback with unusually generous passenger and cargo room. Its defining advantage was the multi-mode folding rear seat, which made the small exterior far more useful for bulky cargo than most competitors. The Fit also emphasized fuel efficiency, easy parking, a comfortable upright cabin, and car-like handling, while offering touchscreen smartphone integration and advanced driver assistance on selected versions.
The 2019 Fit ranges from the practical LX, with its flexible folding rear seat, to the more expressive Sport, with a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The EX adds a moonroof, proximity entry, push-button start, and driver assistance, while the EX-L brings leather-trimmed heated seats. The EX-L with Navigation tops the range with built-in navigation and HD Radio.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main change to the 2019 Honda Fit?
The main change is automatic high-beam headlights on every 2019 Fit equipped with the Honda Sensing driver-assistance suite. Other major mechanical, styling, and technology features carry over from 2018.
Did every 2019 Honda Fit get automatic high-beam headlights?
No. Automatic high-beam headlights are limited to 2019 Fits equipped with the Honda Sensing driver-assistance suite. The regular LX and Sport versions without that suite do not have this feature.
Which 2019 Honda Fit trims have automatic high-beam headlights?
The LX with Honda Sensing, Sport with Honda Sensing, EX, EX-L, and EX-L with Navigation have automatic high-beam headlights. On the EX and EX-L trims, they are part of the standard driver-assistance equipment.
Was the 2019 Honda Fit redesigned?
No. The 2019 Fit was not redesigned and remained part of the third generation. Its body design, 1.5-liter engine, transmissions, touchscreen hardware, flexible rear seat, and chassis are essentially unchanged from 2018.
Is the 2019 Honda Fit meaningfully different from the 2018 model?
Only slightly. The main benefit over a similarly equipped 2018 Fit is the addition of automatic high-beam headlights on versions with the Honda Sensing driver-assistance suite; the rest of the vehicle is largely the same.

4.1
2019 Honda Fit
(559 reviews)
“Andrea is the only car I have had most of my adult life and I wouldn't have anything else!”
“The car is compact and easy to drive. I love the foldable back seats. The car is not fast so don't expect it to have great acceleration. I don't necessarily see the need for the 2 small windows on both front sides of the vehicle…if anything it is a blind spot. I can fit almost everywhere with this tiny car. The rear view camera is a super plus. It's an overall great simple vehicle.”
