It has been test driving a new Fit that will be the 4th generation. Honda has set Japan as the lead country for the new Fit, and plans to expand globally from within Japan. The meaning is that Japan has the strictest requirements for compact cars and small cars, and if it succeeds in selling in Japan, it will be accepted worldwide. Now, let’s give a test drive report of the new Fit.
Delivery has begun in Japan on February 14, 2020, but I did test drive a prototype, but could not test drive a commercial model on a public road.
Low rebound pillow ride comfort
After all, the ride was quite different from the prototype. It is more sophisticated or polished, and the ride quality is standing out.
Test drive courses are general roads and highways, and are general non-winding local roads. The road surface was quite rough and the evaluation was severe. One of the major features of the new Fit is that you can feel “It’s a good ride” even in such bad conditions.
The impression is that the softness and strength coexist like a low-rebound pillow, the flexibility coming from the stroke like a French car, and the rigid ride comfort “damped” with dampers and springs like a German car It was a different ride.
Although the platform is carry-over, it is a riding comfort realized by adding various improvements to the body. We recommend that you try this with a real car.
