Honda is going to produce the next-generation Honda Fit at a new plant in Mexico, according to the latest reports from Japan’s Nikkei newspaper.
Honda will build a second plant in Mexico that will open in 2014 and produce the Honda Fit. The plant will most likely be close to Honda’s other plant located in the state of Jalisco, which currently produces the Honda CR-V. Honda is expected to invest $260 million in the new plant, which will mainly produce the Fit for the U.S. market. It’s expected to produce 100,000 units per year.
