I'm buying a Fit for my wife this month. We both loved the car, already owning a 2013 CR-V which has been a great vehicle.

That said, I just saw the new 2015 CR-V Touring that comes with a new array of LED lights that look amazing in my opinion, as well as other bells and whistles that've been LONG overdue in the model.

Looking at the 2015 Fit however, it seems to be missing a couple things that'd put it in line with Honda's other 2015 offerings, namely, LEDs.

What are the odds of any of these things (Xenons, LEDs, volume knobs, armrests, etc) will be included in the '16?

 

Armrest is already a part of the 2015 Fit line. Its just not as high as many would like.
If you want something higher there is a Ebay seller from China that sells one for the 2015 Fit.
I highly doubt that there will be changes to the 2016 Fit as it is a Hot new model in only its first year of production. Maybe at the mid life redo in another couple of years after that....

 

Aren't those halogen projector beams with LED DRLs?

 

Yes, and the projectors are only on the Touring. LED daytime running lights are on the EX and above.

 

Maybe after it makes its way into the Civic line, it will trickle down to the Fit? I wouldnt hold my breath any time soon. Note the price of the vehicles in the Honda lineup with LED front lighting (DRL or headlights)...

Just my opinion.

 

I don't think you'll see LED front lighting until there's a major redesign, i.e. the GL or whatever they call it.

 

Honda's margins on this vehicle are probably pretty thin and I don't seen them doing any "nice to have" improvements until a future redesign in a couple years plus as Fitmo said. In the meantime they'll have to spend their money on "have to do" improvements like that front bumper/side impact safety improvement and probably a few other small things that have cropped up. LED prices keep coming down so if you're a car company it really pays to wait.
