The 2010 Honda Fit uses a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission.
In the U.S. market, those two options were standard for most trims, pairing with the 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. A hybrid variant existed in some regions with Honda's Integrated Motor Assist system, but the gasoline-only models did not use a conventional CVT in 2010.
Transmission options in the United States
In the United States, the 2010 Fit offered two primary transmission choices, paired with the 1.5-liter engine:
- 5-speed manual transmission
- 5-speed automatic transmission
Both transmissions drive the same basic powertrain, offering similar fuel economy figures, with the manual transmission appealing to drivers who prefer greater engagement and control.
Other markets and variants
Outside the United States, Honda offered variations of the 2010 Fit that affected transmission choices. A hybrid version, known as the Fit Hybrid in some regions, used Honda's Integrated Motor Assist system rather than a conventional automatic or manual transmission. Availability varied by country and model year. The standard gasoline models in those markets were still equipped with a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic.
Fit Hybrid (regional variant)
The Fit Hybrid, introduced in certain markets around 2010, employed an IMA hybrid drivetrain instead of a traditional automatic or manual transmission pairing. It was not offered in all markets, and its driving experience differs from the gasoline-only models.
Summary
For 2010 Honda Fit models available in the United States, the transmission options were a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic. In some international markets, a hybrid version used Honda's IMA system with a different drivetrain. No CVT was offered on the standard gasoline models in the U.S. for 2010.
