Honda Fit Transmission Type
The Honda Fit is available with different transmission options, including a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and a manual transmission. The Chinese-market Fit and Life models are specifically mentioned to be powered by a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine with a CVT transmission.
The manual transmission is standard in some trims, but the CVT is also available and is recommended for its better fuel-economy ratings and for unlocking additional features like the Honda Sensing package, which includes adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist.
The specific transmission type can vary based on the model year and trim level, so it’s important to check the vehicle’s specifications for the exact transmission type.

What happens if I put ATF instead of CVT?
Using the wrong type of transmission fluid for high-tech vehicles can result in irreversible damage. One should never mix regular manual or automatic transmission fluid with CVT fluid or vice versa. While an advanced car can run with the wrong transmission fluid, it will end in damage.
