The 2018 Honda Fit Sport Features Honda Sensing Technology

It has become well-known that younger consumer demographics aren't as interested in buying vehicles as previous generations, but brands are looking to shift this notion with new vehicles like the 2018 Honda Fit Sport. Featuring a more aggressive styling and a series of technological upgrades, the new Fit is being offered in two new color options including Helios Yellow Pearl and Orange Fury.

The new vehicle features an exclusive black finish on the wheels along with a diffuser on the rear and a chrome exhaust finisher. The car also boasts Honda Sensing technology for the first time on the Fit model, which offers land keeping assist, lane departure warning, collision mitigating braking system and road departure warning.

The 2018 Honda Fit Sport is set to launch in July in North America.
