All 2019 Fits are powered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that makes 130 horsepower. There are two available transmissions, a 6-speed manual and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Power is sent to the front wheels and acceleration is peppy, indicative of the Fit's lightweight and refined engine. Fuel economy is stellar, particularly with the CVT transmission.
The Fit comes in four trim levels: LX, EX, Sport and EX-L. Base LX-trimmed Fits come with plenty of standard features including Bluetooth connectivity, air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, automatic headlights, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel, a 160-watt AM/FM/CD player, a 5-inch color screen, a USB port and an audio input jack for MP3 players.
EX-outfitted Fits come equipped with a smart entry system, fog lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, hands-free text messaging, push button start, a 180-watt display type audio system with a 7-inch screen, a USB port, Pandora internet radio compatibility and a one-touch power moonroof.
A leather interior is optional on the EX and standard on the EX-L. In addition to adding leather seating surfaces, the steering wheel is also wrapped in leather. With the leather option, these trims also upgrade the mirrors to be heated and add integrated turn signals. Navigation is also optional on Fits equipped with leather, a feature which adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
Safety features are standard across all trim levels for the Fit, so even base LX models benefit from the whole host of safety devices available for the car. Honda Sensing is standard on the EX and EX-L trims and optional on the LX and Sport trims. Airbags include front, multiple threshold airbags, side airbags and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. Anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control are all included along with brake assist and a tire pressure monitoring system.

The Honda Fit returns for 2019 essentially unchanged, though automatic high beams have been added to Honda Sensing equipped models.
The Honda Fit competes with other subcompacts such as the Ford Fiesta, FIAT 500 and Toyota Yaris. It's an extremely competitive class of vehicle, but Honda has been successfully building excellent subcompacts longer than just about any other manufacturer in the United States. The big selling point for the 2019 Fit is how well it utilizes the diminutive car's interior space. Pricing is competitive for the segment, but the Fit's strong set of standard features that come with the car makes it a solid value.
