All-New 2018 Honda Fit

2018 Honda Fit Blog:

Honda Canada released the all new 2018 Honda Fit starting from $15 190 and it’s hard to beat. Equipped with a 1.5 litre, 130 HP engine, it seems like it would be hard for the Fit to be the right “fit”. However, with its small size but large cargo capabilities 130 HP is all you need. But for those who still want more, we have the Fit Sport which offers 114 lb.-ft of torque @ 4600 rpm. Also comes with gun metal rims, leather interior and a leather wrapped steering wheel.

2015 Honda HR-V Compact SUV

Spring has finally arrived…and we are already excited for the winter? I know, right now you’re saying we’re crazy, but it’s only because we are excited about a new sub-compact vehicle that Honda is set to launch next winter. The 2015 Honda HR-V will be joining the all-new 2015 Fit this winter as Honda expands its small car line-up. This new vehicle will be positioned below the CR-V in both price point and size.

Like the all-new Honda Fit, the HR-V is sharp looking and takes on a character of its own. Its unique centre tank layout will make it extra spacious for passengers and more versatile for the owner. Standard on the new SUV is the exclusive “Honda Magic Seat”, which will give you the option for multiple seat configurations and the capability to fold the second row seating completely flat. Dave Gardner, vice- president of sales and marketing for Honda Canada Inc. said, “both the Fit and the HR-V demonstrate how great things can come in small packages, and no one does this better than Honda.” With all the HR-V has to offer, we couldn’t agree with him more!

The HR-V will appeal to first time car buyers and those individuals who are loyal to the Honda brand. We at Image Honda can’t wait for it to arrive on our showroom floor and we are even more excited to let you experience all it has to offer. Make sure to follow us at Hamilton Auto Blog for the latest on the HR-V and everything Honda.

It’s Coming Soon…The Redesigned 2014 Honda Fit!

There is a lot of excitement at Image Honda as we await the arrival of the newly designed 2015 Honda Fit, coming this summer. Unveiled at the Canadian International Auto Show last month, the Fit awed everyone with its complete redesign, sporty interior and advanced technology and safety features.

The 2015 design features a new grille and redesigned headlights. Adding to the already sporty appearance, there is the addition of larger 16” tires. The reflectors, LED taillights and chrome tailgate garnish are a nice touch, giving it a bolder look. This new Fit is slightly shorter and wider, creating more passenger room and leg room.

For the first time, this 2015 will offer an available moon roof and leather-trimmed seating. Complete with the exclusive Honda Magic Seat, passengers will be given the option of multiple configurable seating positions. Also made available are: smart entry with push button start, heated side mirrors, heated front seats, LaneWatch display and a 7 inch Display Audio Touchscreen interface with HondaLink and smartphone connectivity. Enhanced features, such as Bluetooth connectivity and a multi angled rear-view camera, will give you that little bit of added comfort.

The newly debuted direct-injected 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine will produce 130 HP at 6500 rpmt 114lb-ft. of torque. “Engine output is increased by 13 horsepower and 8 lb.-ft,” when compared to the previous engine. With better fuel economy than its predecessor, the 2015 Fit will be one of the best, if not the best, in the sub-compact segment. The Fit is also expected to earn top Safety Scores from U.S. NHTSA and IIHS, including a NCAP 5 Star overall vehicle score.

As you can see, the 2015 Fit is one vehicle you’ll want to be sure to test drive. Be sure to visit www.imagehonda.com or subscribe to Hamilton Auto Blog for the latest in Honda News and to stay up-to-date on the release of the newly re-designed 2015 Honda Fit.
