New Fit delivery information
Currently, the delivery time for the Fit is approximately one to two months . However, this is only a guideline and may vary depending on the grade, options, body color, and even the dealer and region. For example, if you select a popular grade or special body color, the delivery time tends to be longer.
Delivery times for the Fit have been significantly shortened compared to before as the impact of the semiconductor shortage has eased. However, there is still a waiting period of several months, so if you are considering purchasing one, we recommend that you act early.

What is the key to shortening delivery times?
For those who want to get their Fit as quickly as possible, here are some tips to shorten the delivery time.
- Avoid popular grades and options : Popular grades and options tend to have longer delivery times because they are produced in limited numbers. If you want to prioritize delivery time, one way to avoid these options is to choose one that suits you.
- Look for in-stock or cancelled cars : Some dealerships may have in-stock or cancelled cars. These cars may have a much shorter delivery time, so be sure to actively search for them.
- Contact your retailer frequently : Production status and delivery times are constantly changing, so be sure to contact your retailer frequently to get the latest information.
What you can do while waiting for delivery
There are many things you can do while waiting for your Fit to be delivered. For example:
- Choose your accessories and options : Take the time to choose your accessories and options so they’re ready to install as soon as your vehicle arrives.
- Plan your drive : Make a plan for where you want to go in your Fit and what kind of drive you want to enjoy.
- Get a quote for car insurance : Getting a quote for car insurance before you deliver your car can help make the delivery process go smoothly.
What kind of car is the Fit?
The fourth-generation new Fit will keep the same concept as the previous model, but will be longer in length, expand the interior space, and improve usability. It will be 3,995mm long, although not as long as the new Freed.
There are five different types: “BASIC,” “HOME,” “NESS,” “LUXE,” and “CROSSTAR.” NESS is a sports type, and comes from the word “fitness.” HOME is modeled after a comfortable home.
“CROSSTAR”
Like the new Freed, the new CROSSTAR model is the only one that features a crossover-style exterior design with a ground clearance that is 5mm to 25mm higher than other grades, a total length of 4,090mm, and a total width of 1,725mm, making it a size 3-number size .
The Crosstar features a specially designed front grille, front and rear bumpers, and aluminum wheels. The door outer handles and door mirrors are painted silver, and the side sill garnish is black. Special roof rails are also available.
Spacious interior and ease of use
Although it is a compact car, Honda’s unique “center tank layout” provides a spacious interior and versatile seat arrangements. The rear seats also have ample legroom, making it ideal for family use.
Honda SENSING: Advanced safe driving support system
Various safety driving support systems, such as collision mitigation braking and false start prevention functions, are standard equipment, allowing you to enjoy driving with peace of mind.
A wide range of grades and unique designs
Choose from five grades to suit your lifestyle, from the basic “BASIC” to the SUV-style “CROSSTAR” to the high-quality “LUXE”. Each has a unique design that allows you to express your individuality.
Currently, there are five different types: “BASIC,” “HOME,” “NESS,” “LUXE,” and “CROSSTAR.” A new grade, “RS,” will be added to the lineup with a minor change on October 7, 2022. “RS” is a sports grade, but the bumper design is more stylish than the regular model, changing the impression. “NESS” will be discontinued. In addition, new body colors will be added to the lineup.

Ease of driving and easy handling
Its compact body size and excellent visibility make it easy to drive, and it can be maneuvered safely even on narrow roads and in parking lots.
Comfortable ride and excellent fuel economy
The e:HEV system’s smooth acceleration, quiet operation, and excellent fuel economy make everyday driving comfortable and economical. It also reduces fatigue on long drives and contributes to saving fuel costs.
With the minor change, the 1.3L DOHC i-VTEC engine was changed to a 1.5L direct injection DOHC i-VTEC engine, which increased maximum power and torque, making for a more comfortable ride.
