Dimensions

Although the exterior shrunk down for the new model year, the 2015 Honda Fit interior dimensions actually expanded, giving drivers improved passenger and cargo space over the previous model. We’re not quite sure how Honda’s designers managed to upgrade the interior space while simultaneously optimizing the Fit’s exterior for tight parking spots, but we’re glad they found a way.

If you find that the Fit’s cargo storage area—a spacious 16.6 cubic feet thanks to its hatchback design—is not quite enough, Honda has brought back the Magic Seat to allow you to significantly expand your Fit’s cargo hauling capabilities. Folding down the rear seat brings cargo capacity up to 52.7 cubic feet.

Featuring seating for up to five, you’ll have a tough time believing that the 2015 Honda Fit is a subcompact with interior dimensions like these:

• Headroom: 39.5 inches in the front and 37.5 inches in the rear
• Legroom: 41.4 inches in the front and 39.3 inches in the rear
• Shoulder Room: 54.8 inches in the front and 52.6 inches in the rear
• Hip Room: 51.5 inches in the front and 45.1 inches in the rear
• Overall Passenger Volume: 95.7 cubic feet of possible passenger space

We want to stress just how easy it is for you to convert that 95.7 cubic feet of passenger space into cargo storage with Honda’s 60/40 split-folding Magic Seat. All it takes is a minute or two to fold up part or all of the rear seat and expand that 16.6 cubic feet of cargo space to accommodate something a bit larger. The 60/40 design gives you the option to expand some of your cargo storage without having to sacrifice all of your rear seating, too.

Put simply, whether you’re running errands or on a night out with your friends, you’ll have plenty of space in a 2015 Honda Fit.
