2020 Honda Fit drops Honda Sensing option from lower trims

While automakers are rushing to add active safety features such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist to more and more models, the 2020 Honda Fit is dropping the option of Honda Sensing from its two lower trims: LX and Sport. The package, which includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, road-departure mitigation, and automatic high beams, remains standard on the EX and EX-L variants.

A general slimming-down of the Fit variants appears to be the reason for the counterintuitive move, as the 2020 Fit also drops its EX manual model. The 2020 Fit model range is reduced to: LX manual or LX CVT, Sport manual or Sport CVT, EX, and EX-L. The latter two are both CVTs.
