Fit Coloring Pages

Small and Roomy, Everyone's Car

Fit is a small passenger car made by Honda.
It is a type of car called a hatchback, which has a big door at the back.
It is easy to drive around town, but the inside is very roomy.
The first model came out in 2001.
Many families use it every day for shopping, drop-offs, and pick-ups.
It is also sold in other countries, and people in Europe drive it under the name Jazz.

The Secret of Its Name

"Fit" is an English word that means to match perfectly.
You might say your clothes "fit" well when they are just right for your body.
People say the name was chosen because Honda wanted the car to fit right into your life.
Actually, before it went on sale, it was going to be named Fitta.
But right before it came out, the name was changed to "Fit."

The Secret to Its Roominess Is the Gas Tank

Cars have a tank to hold gas.
Most cars put the tank under the back seats.
Fit has its tank under the front seats.
This design is called the Center Tank Layout. Honda came up with this clever idea all on their own.
Because the space under the back seats opened up, the floor could be made lower, and the back seats can be changed into many shapes.

Four Generations of Fit

The 1st generation came out in 2001. The next year, it became the top-selling car in Japan.
The 2nd generation came out in 2007. In 2010, the Fit Hybrid joined the family, running on both an engine and a motor.
The 3rd generation came out in 2013 with a sharp, cool look.
The 4th generation came out in 2020. The pillars next to the front window became very thin, so the driver can see around much better.

4 Coloring Pages

There are 4 coloring pages of Fit, from the 1st to the 4th generation.
On the 1st page, the 1st generation features a fine mesh grille and big, slanted headlights. Inside the lights, you can see a big circle and a small circle side by side. There is also a thin antenna on the front of the roof.
On the 2nd page, the 2nd generation has a hexagonal mesh grille. The grille gets narrower at the bottom, looking like a smiling mouth. The hubcaps have 5 teardrop-shaped holes.
On the 3rd page, the 3rd generation has a wide band connecting the headlights, with a bow-shaped bar underneath it. Behind the license plate, there is a lower grille with a trapezoid mesh pattern. The hubcaps have a swirling design like a windmill.
On the 4th page, the 4th generation has a neat look with a square emblem right in the middle. Try to find the small triangular windows next to the front windshield, too.
Line up all 4 pages and see how the faces have changed over time.
For more Honda cars, we also have coloring pages for Freed and N-BOX.

Let's copy the real colors

The cars used as models are gray for the 1st generation, silver for the 2nd and 3rd generations, and white for the 4th generation.
For the 1st generation gray, layer gray lightly, and leave a little bit of white on the hood and roof. This will give it a nice shiny metal look!
For silver cars, color it with light gray first. Leave the parts where the light hits white, and add gray to the lower shadow areas. Now it will look super shiny!
Fit comes in lots of bright colors too, like red, yellow, and light blue. It is fun to color it in your favorite colors, too!

How to color the rounded body

Fit has a shape that looks like a single smooth line connecting the front to the roof.
Move your colored pencil in the same direction from the hood to the front window and then to the roof to color it evenly.
For the 4th generation white car, use the white of the paper! Color only the bottom of the car and the door gaps with light gray to make it look 3D.

The grille and lights

Try coloring the narrow mesh on the 1st generation, or the hexagon mesh on the 2nd and 3rd generations, with dark gray or black in the gaps.
For tiny mesh, instead of coloring each small spot, color the whole area dark first while leaving the lines a little lighter. It works really well!
Color the band connecting the lights on the 3rd generation black, and color the bow-shaped bar below it silver to make it look like the real thing.
For the headlights, leave the very middle of the round lens inside white, and color around it with light gray or light blue.
Color the window glass with light blue or gray, and leave diagonal white lines to make it look just like real glass!

Tires and wheels

Color the tires dark gray or black.
The basic colors for the wheels and hubcaps are silver or light gray.
If you color the teardrop-shaped holes on the 2nd generation, or the gaps in the spiral on the 3rd generation with dark gray, they will look like real open holes.
Sharpen the tip of your colored pencil, and try coloring slowly and carefully!

Rear Seats Fold Up

The rear seats of the Fit let you fold the bottom part up.
When you do this, you get a tall space from the floor to the ceiling right in front of the back seats.
It is said that you can load tall items, like houseplants, while keeping them standing upright.
This is possible because the gas tank was placed under the front seats!

Number 1 for the First Time in 33 Years

The first-generation Fit was a huge hit!
In 2002, it became the number 1 top-selling car in Japan for the year.
Until then, the Toyota Corolla was number 1 for 33 years in a row.
The Fit was the car that finally broke that long record!

The Color of the Dot on the Back

On the back of the first-generation Fit, there was a lowercase "Fit" emblem.
The color of the dot on top of the "i" was different depending on how big the engine was.
Cars with a 1.3-liter engine had a red dot, and cars with a 1.5-liter engine had a blue dot.
If you spot an older Fit in town, take a quick look at the color of the dot!
