The Honda Fit—or the Honda Jazz as it was known in the Philippines—is celebrating its 25th anniversary with subtle styling updates across its many variants. Sadly, we’ll be appreciating the new looks from afar as the subcompact hatchback was discontinued locally about five years ago.
Over that time, the Fit has been equipped with Honda’s e:HEV hybrid system, and select models can even be configured with a 4WD system. As for the 2026 update, the main changes are mostly applied to its shell, with minimal differences inside the cabin.
With this being a minor facelift, the familiar 1.5-liter dual-motor e:HEV powertrain remains standard. Other entry-level variants can also be equipped with a 1.5-liter non-hybrid engine. Check them out below.

Honda Fit X e:HEV 2027
The current-generation Fit family starts with the base X variant. With the simplest profile available, it actually retains its exterior look in this new update. Honda instead gave the cupholders and the gearshift emblem new blacked-out finishes. The selector knob was also redone, but with chrome plating.
Honda Fit Z e:HEV 2027
While there is a separate RS variant, the 2027 Fit Z now gets RS-designed front and rear bumpers. The wheel caps were then repainted in Shark Gray, and the cabin gets the same updates as the X variant.

Honda Fit RS e:HEV 2027
Interestingly, as the X and Z variants look sportier, the performance-styled RS gets a more executive-looking update. The front grille and the rear license-plate garnish have been redone in Piano Black, and a similar finish was applied to the 16-inch wheels.
Inside, the leather-wrapped steering wheel gets new red stitching, which falls in line with traditional RS styling—but the roof lining, front pillars, and other surfaces have been changed to black to match the exterior.
