Exterior The new Jazz features a sportier, aerodynamically enhanced form of the old car. What this means is that it carries the same mini MPV-like profile of the old model albeit with a modern touch. The new design language, in fact, brings the Jazz in line with Honda’s new range of models that have been flooding several global markets. The angular front fascia gets the trademark thick horizontal slat for the grille and a mesh grille on the air dam. The slightly flared wheel arches and the larger windows make the car look big.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) In terms of features, Honda is offering two different infotainment systems depending on the trim. While the entry-level trims get a 5-inch display for the rear camera and audio system with USB and Bluetooth connectivity, the top-spec versions come with a fancier 6.2-inch touchscreen display with navigation and DVD playback functions. Other standard features on the top-spec versions include twin airbags, ABS, climate control with a touch panel, steering-mounted audio controls, electrically foldable wing mirrors and a rear view camera.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Unlike the old model, the new Jazz is available with both petrol and diesel engine options. Honda is offering the popular 1.2-litrei-VTEC petrol and the new 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel motor. While the former is available with either a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic, the diesel car gets a 6-speed manual similar to that of the new City. Very powerful engine which leads good engine performance.
