TORRANCE, Calif.
- The all-new 2006 Honda Fit will debut at dealerships nationwide
on April 20 with a manufacturer's suggested retail price
of $13,850, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.
The Fit leads the subcompact segment with the most standard
feature content in its class, a unique level of interior
functionality and a sporty driving character.
Built on Honda's
foundation of dependability, quality and reliability, the Fit includes
a 109 horsepower, 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder, VTEC engine with a 5-speed
manual transmission (an automatic transmission is also available,
bringing the suggested retail price to $14,650). The Fit's standard
safety features include dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags,
dual front side airbags, side-curtain airbags and an anti-lock braking
system (ABS). Big on space, the Fit incorporates more than 111 cubic
feet of interior volume and a Magic Seat(TM) that provides four
distinct seating and cargo carrying configurations.
"The 2007 Honda
Fit demonstrates how an affordable and fun small car can have similar
safety features and refinement as larger, more expensive vehicles,"
said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda. "For
consumers considering an attractive, affordable, and versatile car,
the Fit provides a new entry point into Honda's vehicle lineup."
Priced at $15,170, the
Fit Sport model with manual transmission adds a rear roofline spoiler, aero
body kit, fog lights, security system with keyless remote entry, cruise
control, a 160-watt, six-speaker audio system and 15-inch aluminum-alloy
wheels with P195/55R15 tires. Fit Sport models with the available automatic
transmission come standard with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and
will be available at the suggested retail price of $15,970.
Additionally, the Fit can
be customized with Honda Factory Performance equipment including 16-inch
alloy wheels, sport exhaust, chrome exhaust tip finisher, rear bumper accents
and a sport mesh grille.
The Fit has an estimated
city/highway fuel economy rating of 33/38 miles per gallon (manual transmission)
and is expected to be among the highest ratings in its class. Destination
and handling charges for all 2007 Honda vehicles are $550.
