The 1.5 L VTEC model with CVT-7 was added in September 2002.
A five-speed manual was added in June 2004 for FWD model with the larger engine.
Unique to the Japanese market, the Fit is also available in 4WD.

A bewildering range of options and accessories are available at most levels, including Honda's HDD GPS Navigation System called Internavi with its 6.5-inch (170 mm) colour screen.

In Japan, the Fit replaced the market segment previously served by the eighth-generation Honda Civic and shared a platform with the fourth-generation Honda City, when the Civic no longer complied with Japanese Government dimension regulations when the Civic exceeded the 1700 mm width dimension.
