The Honda Fit earned a loyal following for one simple reason: it fits far more people and cargo than a subcompact hatchback has any right to. Honda sold its last new Fit in the U.S. with the 2020 model year, but that hasn’t slowed demand. A pre-owned Fit remains one of the smartest buys for first-time drivers, commuters, and anyone who wants Honda reliability and excellent fuel economy at a used-car price. If you’re shopping for a used Honda Fit in Bountiful, here’s what to know about the 2015–2020 models you’re most likely to find.
Why the Honda Fit Is Still a Great Buy
- Fuel economy: Fits from 2015–2020 are rated at up to about 40 mpg on the highway, so you’ll spend less time at the pump on your commute along I-15.
- Surprising space: Behind the rear seat, the Fit offers roughly 16.6 cubic feet of cargo space, and with the seats folded that grows to more than 52 cubic feet, which is more than some small SUVs.
- The Magic Seat: The rear seat bottoms flip up to create a tall, floor-to-ceiling space for items like plants or a bike, and the seat backs fold flat for long cargo.
- Easy to park and drive: A compact footprint and quick steering make the Fit easy to maneuver in tight parking lots and busy streets around Bountiful, Centerville, and Woods Cross.
- Honda dependability: With regular maintenance, a well-kept Fit can deliver many years of low-cost ownership.
Know the Generation: 2015–2020 Honda Fit
The third-generation Fit arrived for 2015 and was sold through 2020. Every model uses a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine making about 130 horsepower, paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). A rearview camera is standard across the lineup.
2015–2017 Models
These Fits came in LX, EX, and EX-L trims. The EX adds a power moonroof, a larger touchscreen display, push-button start, and Honda LaneWatch, a camera that shows the passenger-side blind spot on the screen when you signal right. The EX-L adds leather-trimmed seats with front seat heaters, and a navigation version was also offered.
2018–2020 Models
For 2018, the Fit received refreshed styling, a quieter cabin, and a new Sport trim with sporty body accents and 16-inch black alloy wheels. This is also when the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assist technologies became available, including Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keeping Assist. Honda Sensing is standard on the EX and EX-L, and it was available on LX and Sport models equipped with the CVT. EX and EX-L models also gained Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ on their 7-inch touchscreen. If driver-assist features and smartphone integration are high on your list, focus your search on 2018–2020 models.
Which Trim Is Right for You?
- LX: The best value, with the Fit’s full cargo flexibility and excellent fuel economy.
- Sport (2018–2020): LX equipment with sportier styling, with Honda Sensing available on CVT models.
- EX: Adds the moonroof, LaneWatch, push-button start, and the larger touchscreen.
- EX-L: The most comfortable Fit, with leather-trimmed, heated front seats.
What to Check Before You Buy
- Service history: Ask for maintenance records. Every Fit uses Honda’s Maintenance Minder system, so look for regular oil changes and, on CVT models, transmission fluid service when the Maintenance Minder called for it.
- Open recalls: Our team can check the vehicle’s VIN for any open recalls and complete them at our service center.
- Tires and brakes: Utah winters are hard on tires and brakes, so check tread depth and brake condition before you commit.
- A thorough test drive: Make sure the transmission shifts smoothly, the air conditioning blows cold, and all of the infotainment and camera features work.
- Certified options: Some late-model Fits may qualify for Honda’s certified pre-owned program, which includes a detailed inspection and extended warranty coverage. Ask us which vehicles qualify.
