Sedan
This sedan, built on the basis of the Fit model, has gained great popularity in the Japanese market. It began production at the end of 2002 and became the 4th model of the SMALL MAX series, continuing the concept of Fit, Mobilio and Mobilio Spike. This car used a small platform with a fuel tank located in the middle, thanks to which it was possible to maintain a fairly decent (taking into account low fuel consumption) volume of 42 liters. And the excellent cabin capacity inherited from Fit, despite the compact dimensions of the car body itself, somewhat changes the conservative ideas about compact city sedans as applied to this model.
 Fit Aria was manufactured at Honda's Thailand office, from where the model was exported to many countries around the world. When designing the interior of the car, the main emphasis was placed on modern design and comfort. Two shades of beige (light and dark) used in the design give the car a luxurious look. The transformation of the rear row seats allows you to free up additional space: the rear seat rises in the ratio of 40/60, you can remove the backrest, creating a flat surface with the trunk to accommodate long objects. The car has folding side mirrors, a steering wheel with electric power, two glove compartments on the passenger side, cup holders and pockets, a remote key. The dashboard is formed by three round informative modules. The standard equipment of the 1.5-liter versions includes a central antenna on the roof, tinted windows, a leather steering wheel, wood-like inserts on the center console and electric drive control panels for windows, a driver's seat with an armrest, an immobilizer. On some models you can come across such useful options as mirror heating, headlight range control, rear wiper with washer. Fit Aria is equipped with two types of engines of the i-DSI series - 1.3- and 1.5-liter with 86 and 90 hp, respectively, on models since 2005 the latter received the VTEC system, the power was increased to 110 forces. All Fit Aria modifications use the proprietary Multi Matic transmission, while models with a 1.5-liter engine have the option of using manual mode simulations with 7 fixed speeds. This car is able to give its owner an easy, pleasant movement and at the same time demonstrate excellent efficiency: fuel consumption is about 4.9 liters per 100 km for a 1.3-liter engine and about 5 liters per 100 km for a 1.5-liter.

 The Fit Aria pendant is identical to the Fit model. These are McPherson struts in front and two types of construction at the rear - De-Dion on all-wheel drive modifications and a torsion beam on front-wheel cars. All-wheel drive - Real Time 4WD with the Dual Pump system (double pump), which allows you to quickly connect the rear wheels only at the right time, which provides increased fuel economy.

 Active and passive protection equipment includes airbags for the driver and front passenger, EBD (electronic brake force distribution) and ABS systems, supplemented by emergency braking systems, front belts with force limiters, ISOFIX fasteners, safety bars in the doors. Increased torsional rigidity. For an extra charge, some models were equipped with side airbags, as well as gas-discharge headlights with low energy consumption and more efficient lighting of the road.

 Although the Fit Aria sedan, by definition, cannot offer the same functionality that its 5-door counterpart has, it is still an interesting enough option for a city car - in terms of maneuverability, dynamics and equipment. Especially one and a half liter versions, which, in fact, make up a significant part of the offer on the market, of which the maximum configuration deserves the greatest interest, of course.
