The fuel economy and engine output of the Honda Fit are not the only things that push it ahead in this comparison. The 2019 Honda Fit is an attractive hatchback that offers up to 57.7 cubic feet of space. The 2019 Toyota Yaris on the other hand is a sedan that cannot offer the same capability because of the rear design.
Safety can also be a huge factor when choosing between the vehicles in this 2019 Honda Fit vs 2019 Toyota Yaris comparison. The 2019 Yaris comes standard with a Low-Speed Pre-Collision System that offers advanced warning of possible impacts, and may even automatically brake in some situations. However, the Yaris does not come with the many other driver assistance features that are common on Toyota vehicles. In contrast, the 2019 Honda Fit is available even on the base LX trim with the full Honda Sensing suite of safety features which include Auto High Beams, Adaptive Cruise Control, the Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning, and the Collision Mitigation Braking System with Forward Collision Warning and pedestrian detection.
