On June 22nd, 200 1 year, Honda launched the first generation Fit. This car is based on Honda's brand-new small car platform, and uses a 1.3L naturally aspirated i-DSL engine with higher combustion efficiency. Although it is a small car, the interior space is spacious, the seat folding function is convenient and practical, the appearance is round and lovely, and the fuel consumption is as low as 4.5L/ 100km.
On June 20, 2002, 65438+February 20, the first generation Fit still introduced a sedan version with a tail, but the sedan version did not look as pleasing to the eye and harmonious as the hatchback version.
The hatchback and sedan versions of the first generation Fit are both produced in China. At that time, the price was about 654.38 million, which made them very popular. Even after production stopped, they were still sold under the "concept" sign. The sedan version of the Fit taillight model was shot by a domestic manufacturer, put on its best-selling car, and occasionally met in the street.
Fit was changed for the first time on126/0/2007. Fit launched the second generation after six years of sales in the first generation. With the launch of Honda's second-generation Fit, Honda's MM concept has also been mentioned, that is, the space for passengers is maximized and the space for machinery is minimized. Fit can be said to be a very good car to interpret this concept.
Two months after the release of the second generation Fit, the total sales volume of Fit in Japan (mainly the first generation, of course) exceeded 6.5438+0 million, making it the fastest model in Honda's history at that time (78 months). Later, this record was broken by N-BOX in 60 months, and it was listed on February 20 1 1.
The second generation Fit is also produced by Guangqi Honda in China, but at this time, with the development of independent brands in the market below 65,438+10,000 and the rise of SUV models, Fit has become more and more competitive in China. After the first generation Fit launched the less popular sedan version, the second generation Fit did not make a similar attempt.
20 10- 10 Fit launched a hybrid version, and the battery was installed under the floor of the car, which did not affect the fit interior space and seat flexibility. Due to the use of hybrid power system, the fuel consumption is reduced to about 3.5L/ 100km. However, because the Fit itself is a very low fuel consumption model, the fuel consumption reduced by the hybrid system is not so attractive compared with the price increase. Although this hybrid version of Fit has been introduced into China, the sales volume is very bleak.
The second generation Fit also derived a travel version of Fit Shuttle, which was officially launched on June 6, 201/kloc-0. The luggage space was further enlarged, but the extended trunk and luggage space always seemed to be added later.
Although this travel version of Fit Shuttle sells well in Japan and some other countries, because domestic consumers are not interested in station wagons, this model has not even been launched in the third generation.
August 20 12, based on the second generation Fit Honda, launched a pure electric vehicle with a cruising range of 225km. However, the market acceptance of electric vehicles in those years was far less than now, and this car was more sold to the government and enterprises.
In March of 20 13, Fit sold 2 million vehicles in Japan, and within 42 months, it became the fastest vehicle in Honda's history.
On September 6th, 20 13, Honda launched the newly designed third-generation Fit, which is called GK5 for civil supercar in China. The new generation Fit has excellent performance in power performance and interior space.
The third generation Fit also derived a variety of models such as hybrid version and travel version. Only 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with earth dream technology has been introduced in China, but this 1.5L engine can output 13 1 horsepower, and its power performance is very strong. In addition, Japanese cars have always had great modification potential and rich modified parts, which makes them have the nickname of civil supercar in China.
On February 4, 2020, the fourth generation Fit was officially launched. In 2020, the fourth generation Fit will also be listed in China. Can we continue the glory of the first three generations? From the perspective of appearance, space and dynamic performance, it is not difficult to achieve a reasonable balance between pricing and allocation in China.
