How many litres is a 2008 Honda Fit?
The 2008 Honda Fit has a fuel tank capacity of about 45 litres.
In the US-market model, this corresponds to 11.9 US gallons. The tank is designed to hold the total amount of fuel when full, with typical measurements used across the first-generation Fits produced around 2007–2008. While this capacity is standard for most vehicles in this generation, minor regional or trim differences can appear in official specifications.
Market and model-year context
The 2008 Fit is part of Honda’s first-generation lineup (known as the Jazz in some regions). The commonly cited capacity is 45 litres for the standard tank in 2007–2008 models. For exact figures on a specific car, consult the owner's manual, the fuel filler door label, or Honda’s official specifications for that vehicle's VIN and market.
Practical implications of the capacity
Knowing the fuel tank capacity helps with planning refueling intervals, understanding potential driving range, and budgeting for fuel costs. Actual range depends on driving conditions and fuel economy, but the 45‑litre capacity provides a reliable framework for trip planning.
Notes on accuracy and variations
While the 45 L figure is standard for most 2007–2008 Fits sold in many markets, regional revisions or trim differences can yield slight deviations. Always verify the exact capacity for your specific vehicle using its documentation or by checking with a local Honda dealership.
Summary
For a 2008 Honda Fit, the fuel tank capacity is commonly listed as about 45 litres (roughly 11.9 US gallons). This figure serves as a practical benchmark for planning fuel stops and understanding vehicle range, with exact numbers best confirmed against the vehicle’s official documentation.
Why was the Honda Fit discontinued?
The Honda Fit was discontinued in North America due to declining sales, a shift in consumer preference toward SUVs, and economic factors. Honda replaced it with the more profitable HR-V crossover, which shares a platform with the Fit and is a more popular segment. Other contributing factors include new fuel economy regulations and changing market dynamics.
Reasons for discontinuation
- Declining sales and market trends: The subcompact car market has shrunk significantly, with sales of models like the Fit declining for years. Consumers are increasingly favoring SUVs and crossovers, and the Fit's sales numbers dropped considerably, especially compared to the HR-V.
- Profitability: The HR-V crossover is more profitable for Honda to produce and sell than the Fit. By shifting production of the HR-V to the Mexico factory that previously built the Fit, Honda was able to allocate resources to the more lucrative crossover market.
- Changing market dynamics: A period of lower gas prices also contributed to the decline in demand for fuel-efficient small cars, as consumers became less concerned about fuel economy and more interested in the features and higher driving position of SUVs.
- Regulatory pressures: Stringent future fuel economy targets may have made it less feasible for Honda to produce the Fit profitably in the U.S. market.
- Replacement strategy: Instead of bringing the new fourth-generation Fit to the U.S., Honda replaced it with the related HR-V to capitalize on the market's demand for crossovers.
