We all remember the bad phase Honda faced with its Jazz. But now it seems Honda has learnt its lesson and bringing the all-new Jazz which has been tailored to the Indian needs. Honda India is getting ready to re-launch the car in July and its prospects look quite promising. The number of competitors for 2015 Jazz has definitely gone up compared to couple of years when they discontinued the model. The Jazz will withstand equally with its exceptional features, and competitive enough to win the race.
Post the initial teaser’s, Honda Jazz has been gathering a lot of attention from the public with positive mindsets. To satisfy the curiosity we bring down the list of the facts about the all new Jazz.
Jazz is to offer the best fuel efficiency among the hatchback with its 1.5-liter i-DTEC diesel. Like Honda’s other two cars of City and Amaze, Jazz i-DTEC diesel will make 100 PS and will be able to deliver 200 Nm of max torque. Currently the City and Amaze delivers more than Maruti Suzuki Swift’s average of 25.2 kmpl. Thus the expectations are that the Jazz will be able to deliver more than Maruti Suzuki Swift which is its biggest rival. Moreover the car will be equipped with five-speed manual transmission making it a perfect car in this range.
In petrol variant, the car will be equipped with 1.2-liter i-VTEC motor which has proved its capability in Brio. The engine is capable of generating 88 PS and 109 Nm of torque. Furthermore, the engine will be mated with two kinds of transmissions – 5-speed manual and CVT automatic. This is the first time such a feature is being offered in India. Moreover the car will come with steering mounted paddle shifter to drive with ease.
Honda has improved the car, but they have also kept the best features of the last time. ‘Magic Seats’ feature of the previous version was a huge hit among users because it offered the option of carrying luggage and other small things with the seat. The new Honda Jazz will retain these special seats.
The car will have dashboard similar to that of Honda City with its black and silver color theme. The look might be the same, but the instrumentation and features look a bit different. The dashboard has the same multi-function steering wheel and the paddle shifters from Honda City but unlike Honda City, the pictures do not show the cruise control buttons or Engine automatic start button. The all-new Jazz is also equipped with multifunctional Navigation touch-screen system, which was missing, in the previous version.
The Jazz is the first car with all these interesting features. Moreover, Jazz has launched its first diesel variant in India. With all these exceptional features, the car looks competitive to take on the competition. Now we just need to wait for July to see its actual performance after the official price gets released.
