How many miles can a Honda Fit go for?
A Honda Fit typically travels around 400 miles on a full tank, depending on the model year, transmission, and driving conditions.
The Honda Fit is a small, fuel-efficient hatchback that has benefited from solid MPG numbers and a compact, practical design. While exact range varies, understanding the fuel tank size and EPA fuel economy ratings helps you estimate how far you can go between fills. Note that in the United States, the Fit was discontinued after the 2020 model year, so current-new purchases are limited to used cars, though the model remains popular for its efficiency and cargo space.
What determines the range of a Honda Fit
Two primary factors drive how far you can travel on a tank: how much fuel the tank holds and how efficiently the engine uses that fuel. For the Fit, the size of the fuel tank and the miles-per-gallon (MPG) rating vary by year and transmission, which in turn influences range estimates.
Key numbers you should know
These figures help you estimate a full-tank distance.
- Fuel tank capacity: 11.3 gallons (42.8 liters).
- EPA fuel economy (most common configuration with a CVT): about 33 mpg city / 40 mpg highway / 36 mpg combined.
- EPA fuel economy (typical manual transmission): generally lower overall, around the low- to mid-30s mpg combined.
With these numbers in hand, you can approximate how far a full tank will take you under different driving conditions.
Estimated ranges by driving conditions
Here are practical, approximate ranges based on typical driving patterns and the full-tank capacity.
- City driving (roughly 33 mpg): about 373 miles per tank.
- Highway driving (roughly 40 mpg): about 452 miles per tank.
- Mixed driving (roughly 36 mph equivalent average): about 406 miles per tank.
Real-world range will vary with weather, cargo weight, tire condition and pressure, air conditioning use, and driving style, but these figures provide a solid planning baseline for most drivers.
Context for buyers and owners
The Honda Fit’s U.S. sales ended after the 2020 model year, so contemporary purchases would be pre-owned. In other markets, the Jazz/Fit lineup may have different fuel-tank sizes or efficiency figures, so ranges can differ outside the U.S. If you’re shopping used, verifying the specific model year’s MPG and tank capacity will yield the most accurate range estimate for that vehicle.
Summary
In summary, a typical Honda Fit can cover about 400 miles on a full tank—roughly 373 miles in city driving, up to about 452 miles on highway trips, with a mid-range around 406 miles for mixed driving. The exact distance depends on tank size, transmission, and how you drive, and buyers should consider these factors when planning trips or evaluating used models.
