Honda Fit 2015: Significant Technological Advances


Over the coming years, it is highly likely that we will see new technologies related to fuel consumption appear in the automotive landscape. Honda, for example, has announced the release of the Honda Accord plug-in hybrid. In addition, the Japanese automaker plans to launch a new range of mechanical and automatic CVT and dual clutch Earth Dreams. And the Honda Fit is no exception in 2015 with its direct injection engine fuel and CVT.

The new engine of the Honda Fit 2015 would probably be a 4-cylinder 1.5-liter double overhead camshaft head direct fuel injection. This mechanism will develop 127 horsepower and produce a torque of 114 lb-ft. In addition to new mechanical technologies that save the precious fuel, this small 4-cylinder will also be equipped with technology start-stop which stops the engine at traffic lights.

Honda will also use a new type of fluid in the gearbox CVT mounted on the Honda Fit 2015 to reduce internal friction and improve fuel consumption. The box also receives new oil pump have high performance and a belt of greatest resistance.


Honda has not yet released its consumption data of Honda Fit 2015, but it claims that the new lifts will be more efficient than 5%. If one adds to the equation a gearbox continuously variable would be expected to perform more identified 15% and a combined fuel consumption could fall below 7 liters per 100 kilometers.

Regarding the gearbox CVT, Honda said it would allow a much more linear acceleration than the current CVT. In addition, the vehicles will be equipped with paddle shifters will enjoy driving that simulate a 7 speed box. The 1.5-liter engine in the Honda Fit 2015 is a mechanism well suited to this type of box.

The next few years will quite interesting at Honda. The price of fuel being what it is, small engines 3 and 4 cylinder will probably score the next three years. That’s why the Japanese working year after year to improve ever and ever. Honda and the objective is to attract North Americans to mechanical energy efficient.
