Honda Jazz

The 2018 Honda Jazz facelift has officially gone on sale in India with prices starting at Rs 7.35 lakh for the entry-level V petrol variant, going up to Rs 9.29 lakh for the top-end VX diesel trim (all ex-showroom, Delhi). Frankly, this was way more then what we had expected. Honda has updated its variant list and removed the base trim E and S from the petrol line-up, while only the E variant has been dropped from the diesel version. Overall, the 2018 Jazz is now available in four petrol grades and three diesel variants.

Honda Jazz Design

The new-generation model of the Jazz looks sportier and sleeker than the old model, thanks to Honda's 'Exciting H Design' philosophy. Featuring the global Civic-like headlamps, sleek grille and and new bumper with large air-vents, the new-gen Honda Jazz's front fascia looks completely new. The rear profile, too, looks sportier than before with new tail-lamps, new bumpers; though, it still resembles the old Jazz a little.

The new Jazz's cabin now looks quite identical to the City with similar looking dashboard and plastic quality. In fact the infotainment system and several features too have been sourced from the City. What goes in favour of the Jazz is its very spacious cabin, thanks to the extended wheelbase that results into more knee-room and leg room.

Honda Jazz Engine & Transmission

As mentioned earlier, the new-generation Honda Jazz comes with two engine options - 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel and the 1.2-litre iVTEC petrol. While the former produces 89bhp, the latter churns out 99bhp. Transmission options on offer are a 5-speed manual and 5-speed CVT gearbox with the petrol model, and a 6-speed manual gearbox with the diesel version.
