If you’re looking for a smaller car to drive everyday for commuting and errands, but with more cargo capacity than a sedan offers, hatchbacks are a great option. These vehicles offer the efficiency of a sedan with a serious upgrade in space, so adventuring isn’t out of the question. In your search for an affordable, well-equipped, efficient hatchback vehicle, you’ve likely come across the 2020 Honda Fit and the 2020 Toyota Yaris. Though similar, the differences in these two vehicles sets them apart, with one having a clear advantage over the other.
Since one of these compact hatchbacks is likely going to be your daily driver, you’ll want to ensure that your vehicle has a blend of power and efficiency, and the 2020 Honda Fit delivers this masterfully. The Fit’s engine offers 128 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque, compared to the Yaris which only has 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet. of torque. So, not only does the Fit provide more horsepower and torque than the Yaris, but it manages greater fuel efficiency, too. You’ll have a more exciting, efficient drive through Trussville and Birmingham in the 2020 Honda Fit, making every commute fun.
The interior of a vehicle is what many drivers care most about as it directly impacts their every drive. Here, as in other areas, the Honda Fit outshines its competitor. The Fit offers 95.7 cubic-feet of passenger space compared to the Yaris’ 86.7 cubic-feet for passengers. The Fit continues to dominate the Yaris in cargo capacity, too, offering 16.6 cubic-feet of space behind the second row and an astounding 52.7 cubic-feet when the second row is folded flat thanks to Honda’s brand-exclusive Magic Seat®. The Yaris, on the other hand, manages only 15.9 cubic-feet behind the first row and doesn’t specify the cubic-feet available when the second row is stowed.
Beyond cargo space, the Fit also leads over the Yaris by offering four trim levels compared to the Yaris’ two, meaning you’ll have greater access to desirable amenities with the Fit, including Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock®, heated side mirrors, leather upholstery, Pandora® radio, and a premium audio sound system.
In 2020, any vehicle worth its salt is equipped with a robust driver assistance safety suite that helps keep you safer than ever on the road. The 2020 Honda Fit offers a standard multi-angle rearview camera, and can be equipped with the outstanding Honda Sensing® suite that includes a collision mitigation braking system, a road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and a lane keeping assist system. Unfortunately, the Yaris only offers a low-speed pre-collision system and a rearview camera, meaning the Fit leads in safety, too.
