Outside and inside, Honda has updated the Fit e:HEV. Revised bumpers with dark are the most obvious giveaway which are easily contrasted against light paintwork. Being the e:HEV, the range-topping FIT model also boasts a 10 kW increase in power which is claimed to improve acceleration performance and refinement. Total outputs are now rated at 90 kW and 253 Nm of electric propulsion torque. This increase in the overall system output is achieved through a 10 kW increase in power from the traction motor, whilst engine power has also been increased to 78 kW (from 72 kW) to improve drivability and overall system efficiency.
