The Honda Fit (Japanese: ホンダ・フィット, Hepburn: Honda Fitto), also marketed as the Honda Jazz, is a five-door B-segment supermini manufactured and marketed by Honda since 2001 and now in its fourth generation. Marketed worldwide and manufactured at ten plants in eight countries,[1] sales reached almost 5 million by mid-2013.[2]
Sharing Honda's global small car platform with the City, Airwave, first generation Mobilio and Freed, the Fit is noted for its one-box or monospace design and its re-configurable interior—with a cargo volume competitive to larger vehicles.[3][4][5]
Honda released hybrid petroleum-electric versions of the Fit in Japan in October 2010 and in Europe in early 2011.[6][7] Honda released the Fit EV, a limited production all-electric version, in the United States in July 2012 and in Japan the following month.[8][9] By 2012, Honda Fit was produced in 12 countries, including Japan, Brazil, China, India and Indonesia.
Honda uses the nameplate "Jazz" in Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, Africa, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and India; and the name "Fit" in Japan, Sri Lanka, China, Taiwan and the Americas.
