The 2007 Honda Fit did not use a CVT; it offered two conventional transmissions: a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed automatic.
Transmission options in the 2007 Honda Fit
The first-generation Fit (sold as the Jazz in some markets) was equipped with a 1.5-liter engine and two non-CVT transmissions. Honda did not offer a CVT on the 2007 model year.
What you could choose in 2007:
- 5-speed manual transmission (5MT)
- 5-speed automatic transmission (5AT) with a traditional torque converter
Conclusion: For 2007 models, there was no CVT option; buyers selecting an automatic got a conventional 5-speed auto instead.
How to verify your vehicle’s transmission type
To confirm the transmission in your specific car, use these practical checks and sources:
- Shift knob analysis: a manual has a clutch pedal and a gear lever with an H-pattern for 5 gears; an automatic or CVT will have a PRNDL selector and no clutch pedal.
- Owner’s manual or window sticker: these documents state whether the car has a manual, automatic, or CVT
- VIN/build sheet: the vehicle’s official records or a dealer can decode the VIN to reveal the transmission type
Bottom line: If your 2007 Fit has a floor-mounted lever with a clutch pedal, it’s a manual; if it lacks a clutch pedal and uses PRNDL, it’s an automatic. The 2007 model did not use a CVT.
CVT presence in later Honda Fits
Honda did later explore CVTs in subsequent Fit generations for some markets, but the 2007 model year did not include a CVT option. If you’re specifically seeking a Fit with a CVT, you’ll need to look at later years and different generations beyond 2007.
Summary
The 2007 Honda Fit did not come with a CVT. It offered two standard transmissions: a 5-speed manual and a traditional 5-speed automatic. CVTs appeared in later Fit generations, so verify your specific vehicle’s transmission with the owner’s manual, window sticker, or VIN if you need to be sure for maintenance or purchase decisions.
