The horsepower of a Honda Fit varies by model year and market. In the United States, older Fits run about 117 hp, while newer models toward the end of the lineup reach about 130 hp; in many other markets the Jazz/Fit uses a similar 1.5-liter engine with power figures in roughly the same range depending on trim and emission rules.
HP by generation (US market)
Here is a concise overview of the Honda Fit’s official horsepower ratings for the United States. Values refer to the standard 1.5-liter engine used across most trims and model years. Individual trims and transmissions can cause minor differences.
- 2007–2014: approximately 117 hp
- 2015–2020: approximately 130 hp
Note: Torque and peak power can vary slightly with transmission type (manual vs. CVT) and specific model year, but the listed figures reflect the typical public horsepower ratings.
Global context
In other regions where the car is sold as the Jazz (the global name for Fit), the engine remains a 1.5-liter family unit in many markets, with horsepower commonly ranging around 100–130 hp depending on local tuning and emissions standards. The US market stopped selling the Fit after the 2020 model year, while the Jazz continues in various international markets with similar engine fundamentals.
How to verify horsepower for your specific car
Because horsepower can vary by year, trim, and market, use these steps to confirm the exact rating for your particular vehicle.
- Check the window sticker (Monroney label) for new or recently sold cars; it lists the engine and horsepower.
- Use a VIN-based lookup through Honda’s official resources or contact a dealer to pull the original build sheet, which specifies the engine and its output.
- Consult the owner’s manual or service documents that accompany the vehicle; these documents typically cite the installed engine’s horsepower.
Verifying the exact horsepower helps when comparing trims, model years, or regional specifications for your Fit.
Summary
The Honda Fit’s horsepower is not a single universal number. In the United States, it sits around 117 hp for older models and about 130 hp for later ones, with the model's US lineup ceasing after the 2020 year. Globally, the Jazz/Fit uses a similar 1.5-liter engine, with horsepower figures generally in the 100–130 hp range depending on market tuning and emissions regs. For any used or regional variant, check the VIN, Monroney label, or official documentation to confirm the exact horsepower.
