The 1.5 CVT group splits into a 90 hp pair and a 110 hp pair; each power level is offered with FWD and AWD. There is no restyling listed as a separate generation in the data.

Honda Fit Aria specs and engine table

All six versions use a gasoline engine, an inline 4-cylinder layout, front, transverse placement, distributed injection (multi-point), no boost, and a Variable gearbox. Cylinder count, valves per cylinder, fuel grade, torque, and drive are in the table below. Version names match the catalogue exactly; identical names are distinguished by horsepower and drive.

The 1.3 CVT uses a 1339 cm³ gasoline engine with 4 Inline cylinders, 2 valves per cylinder, compression ratio 10.8, and bore × stroke 73 × 80. Peak output is 86 hp (63 kW) at 5700 rpm and 119 Nm at 3300 rpm. Fuel is 92. The 1.3 CVT with FWD has kerb weight 1040 kg. The 1.3 CVT with AWD has kerb weight 1120 kg — 80 kg more than the FWD 1.3 CVT.

The 1.5 CVT at 90 hp uses a 1496 cm³ gasoline engine with 4 Inline cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, compression ratio 10.8, and bore × stroke not measured. Peak output is 90 hp (66 kW) at 5500 rpm and 131 Nm at 2700 rpm. Fuel is 95. That is 4 hp and 12 Nm more than the 1.3 CVT, and torque arrives 600 rpm earlier (2700 versus 3300). The 1.5 CVT (90 hp, FWD) kerb weight is 1060 kg. The 1.5 CVT (90 hp, AWD) kerb weight is 1120 kg — the same as the 1.3 CVT AWD.

The 1.5 CVT at 110 hp also displaces 1496 cm³, with 4 Inline cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, compression ratio 10.4, and bore × stroke 73 × 89.4. Peak output is 110 hp (81 kW) at 5800 rpm and 143 Nm at 4800 rpm. Fuel is 95. Versus the 90 hp 1.5 CVT, that is +20 hp and +12 Nm, with peak torque 2100 rpm higher (4800 versus 2700). Versus the 1.3 CVT, that is +24 hp and +24 Nm. The 1.5 CVT (110 hp, FWD) kerb weight is 1060 kg, matching the 90 hp FWD 1.5 CVT. The 1.5 CVT (110 hp, AWD) kerb weight is 1130 kg — 10 kg more than the other AWD versions (1120 kg) and 70 kg more than the 110 hp FWD car.

Gross weight is measured only on the 1.5 CVT (110 hp, FWD): 1335 kg. On the other five versions, gross weight is not measured. Payload on that 110 hp FWD car is 1335 − 1060 = 275 kg.

Honda Fit Aria performance, mpg, and fuel consumption

0–100 km/h is not measured on the 1.3 CVT (86 hp, FWD), not measured on the 1.3 CVT (86 hp, AWD), not measured on the 1.5 CVT (90 hp, FWD), not measured on the 1.5 CVT (90 hp, AWD), not measured on the 1.5 CVT (110 hp, FWD), and not measured on the 1.5 CVT (110 hp, AWD).

Top speed is not measured on all six versions.

City fuel consumption is not measured on all six versions. Highway fuel consumption is not measured on all six versions. Combined fuel consumption is not measured on all six versions. CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured.

What the data do give for “how the car moves” is output and mass. Specific power on the 1.3 CVT FWD is 86 hp / 1040 kg ≈ 0.083 hp/kg. On the 1.3 CVT AWD it is 86 / 1120 ≈ 0.077 hp/kg. On the 1.5 CVT 90 hp FWD it is 90 / 1060 ≈ 0.085 hp/kg. On the 1.5 CVT 90 hp AWD it is 90 / 1120 ≈ 0.080 hp/kg. On the 1.5 CVT 110 hp FWD it is 110 / 1060 ≈ 0.104 hp/kg — the highest in the set. On the 1.5 CVT 110 hp AWD it is 110 / 1130 ≈ 0.097 hp/kg. Those ratios are arithmetic on catalogue figures; they are not a substitute for a measured 0–100 time, which remains not measured.

The 1.3 CVT runs on 92 fuel. All four 1.5 CVT versions run on 95 fuel. The tank is 42 litres on every version, so theoretical range cannot be stated because consumption is not measured.

Honda Fit Aria dimensions, weight, and ground clearance

Ground clearance is 150 mm on the 1.3 CVT FWD, 150 mm on the 1.3 CVT AWD, 150 mm on both 90 hp 1.5 CVT versions, and 150 mm on both 110 hp 1.5 CVT versions. Wheel size is not measured on any version.

Kerb weight by version:

Gross weight: 1335 kg on the 1.5 CVT (110 hp, FWD); not measured on the other five versions.

Fuel tank: 42 litres on all six versions.

Chassis items that do not change with version: independent, spring front suspension; independent, spring rear suspension; ventilated disc front brakes; drum rear brakes. Engine placement is front, transverse on all versions.

Which Honda Fit Aria version to choose

Choose by three measured differences: engine (86 / 90 / 110 hp), drive (FWD or AWD), and kerb weight. Gearbox is Variable on every car, so it does not separate the list. Body is Sedan on every car. Ground clearance is 150 mm on every car. Tank is 42 litres on every car.

If the priority is lowest mass and 92 fuel, the 1.3 CVT (86 hp, FWD) is the only version at 1040 kg and the only FWD car on 92. It has 86 hp, 119 Nm, 2 valves per cylinder, and FWD. 0–100, top speed, and mpg are not measured.

If the same 86 hp engine is needed with AWD, the 1.3 CVT (86 hp, AWD) keeps 86 hp, 119 Nm, 1339 cm³, and 92 fuel, but kerb weight rises to 1120 kg (+80 kg). Drive is AWD.

If the priority is the smaller 1.5-litre output with earlier torque, the 1.5 CVT (90 hp, FWD) has 90 hp, 131 Nm at 2700 rpm, 1496 cm³, 4 valves per cylinder, 95 fuel, and 1060 kg. Versus the 1.3 CVT FWD that is +4 hp, +12 Nm, +157 cm³, +20 kg, and a change from 92 to 95 fuel. The matching 1.5 CVT (90 hp, AWD) keeps those engine figures and adds AWD at 1120 kg.

If the priority is the highest output in the catalogue, the 1.5 CVT (110 hp, FWD) has 110 hp (81 kW) at 5800 rpm and 143 Nm at 4800 rpm, 1496 cm³, compression 10.4, bore × stroke 73 × 89.4, 95 fuel, kerb 1060 kg, and the only measured gross weight, 1335 kg. Versus the 90 hp FWD 1.5 CVT it is +20 hp and +12 Nm at the same 1060 kg kerb weight. Versus the 1.3 CVT FWD it is +24 hp and +24 Nm at +20 kg. The 1.5 CVT (110 hp, AWD) is the heaviest Fit Aria at 1130 kg, with the same 110 hp and 143 Nm and AWD.

Reliability and typical problems are not in this dataset; this catalogue page does not invent failure modes. What is measured and common to all six versions is: gasoline, 4 Inline cylinders, no boost, Variable gearbox, independent, spring suspension front and rear, ventilated disc front brakes, drum rear brakes, 150 mm ground clearance, and a 42-litre tank, for one Sedan generation sold from December 2002 through January 2009.
