CVT Tiptronic "sudah ada" pada Honda Jazz Generasi Pertama aka Langka! (Sumber: Grok from X)

The first generation Honda Fit (also known as the Honda Jazz in some markets) was introduced in October 2001 and produced until 2007. This generation did feature a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) in certain markets and trims, but the inclusion of a Tiptronic-style manual mode (allowing manual gear shifting via paddle shifters or a gear lever) was limited and not standard across all variants.

 

Details on CVT and Tiptronic-Style Mode:

• CVT Introduction: The first-generation Honda Fit was one of the early models to adopt a CVT, which was introduced as an option alongside the traditional 5-speed manual transmission. The CVT was designed to improve fuel efficiency and provide a smooth driving experience, utilizing Honda's innovative belt-and-pulley system.
• Engine Options with CVT:
• 1.3L i-DSI Engine: A 1.3-liter inline-4 engine (L13A i-DSI) producing approximately 83-86 hp, depending on the market.
• 1.5L VTEC Engine: A 1.5-liter inline-4 engine (L15A VTEC) producing around 109 hp, available in higher trims and certain regions (e.g., Japan and North America).
• Tiptronic-Style Manual Mode: The CVT in the first-generation Fit did not widely feature a Tiptronic-style manual mode with paddle shifters. However, in some markets (notably Japan), higher trims of the Fit, such as the Fit W (Wonder) or Fit Aria variants, offered a CVT with a manual mode. This mode allowed drivers to manually select simulated gear ratios using the gear lever (shifting between "D" and a sequential mode), mimicking a traditional automatic with a manual override. Paddle shifters were not typically included in the first generation, as this feature became more common in later models.
• The manual mode was introduced around 2002-2003 in select Japanese-market models as part of Honda's early CVT refinements.
• Availability: The CVT with manual mode was primarily offered in Japan and some Asian markets. In markets like the U.S. and Europe, the first-generation Fit (2006-2008 in the U.S.) came with a 5-speed automatic or manual transmission, with the CVT being less common and lacking the manual mode feature.

 

Key Specifications (CVT Variants):

• Transmission: Honda Multi-Matic CVT (with manual mode in select trims)
• Fuel Economy: Approximately 30-35 mpg (combined, depending on market and engine)
• Drive: Front-wheel drive (FWD)
• Dimensions: 
• Length: 3,845 mm
• Width: 1,675 mm
• Height: 1,525 mm
• Wheelbase: 2,450 mm

 

Visual Identification:

• The first-generation Fit has a boxy, upright design with a distinctive "tall boy" silhouette, halogen headlights, and a simple front grille with the Honda logo.
• CVT-equipped models may not have external visual cues, but higher trims with manual mode might include interior features like a sportier gear lever design.

 

Notes:

• The Tiptronic-style feature in the first generation was rudimentary compared to later models, as Honda's CVT technology evolved significantly in the second and third generations (e.g., with paddle shifters).
• For precise confirmation of CVT with manual mode in your region, consult the original sales brochure or a Honda dealership, as options varied widely.
