Honda To Manufacture 2015 Fit in North America.

Honda will produce its 2015 Fit in the Noth America plant from the month of February 2014.

The plant is loacted at new Celaya, Mexico. It is expected that the plant will roll out nearly 200,000 units per year. Also there is a plan from them to produce small Honda SUV vehicles in that plant later.

Mean while Honda unveiled the all-new 2015 Fit at the North American International Auto Show recently. According to them the new Fit is completely redesigned from the ground up to deliver an unparalleled combination of style, interior space, fun-to-drive performance and fuel-efficiency plus leading-edge safety and vehicle connectivity.

This vehicle will be put on sale by this year spring in the North America.

Here are the most important detalis of the latest Fit.

The 2015 Fit marks the U.S. debut of an all-new direct-injected 1.5-liter DOHC i-VTEC engine. Generating 128 horsepower 2 at 6500 rpm and 114 lb.-ft. of torque 2 at 4600 rpm, engine output is increased by 11 horsepower and 8 lb.-ft. compared to the outgoing engine while reducing weight and improving efficiency.

Paired to two new transmissions, a slick shifting 6-speed manual or a sporty and fuel-efficient Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with available paddle shifters, the Fit powertrain offers superior acceleration and passing performance and is anticipated to have class-leading 3 EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 33 city/41 highway/36 combined 4 (CVT-equipped models).

The 2015 Fit benefits from the most extensive use of ultra-high strength steel in the model's history, providing increased body stiffness while reducing platform (underbody and chassis) weight by 57-pounds versus the outgoing model. Equipped with the next generation of the Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, the Fit is anticipated to earn top safety scores from NHTSA and IIHS, including a NCAP 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score and a TOP SAFETY PICK rating with a GOOD rating in all IIHS test modes, including the rigorous small overlap barrier test.
