The launch of the new Jazz marks the second innings for the car in the Indian market. The older model failed to garner the interest Honda had hoped for, with the pricing being a major letdown. But with the new launch, Honda has priced the Jazz competitively, while also giving it a diesel engine, a CVT gearbox and a feature-laden interior.
To see just how feature-packed the new Jazz is, we compare it to the Hyundai i20, a car known for its feature-rich interiors. The i20 has seen a good run in its latest generation, selling 1,00,000 units in its first 11 months. Hyundai is known for the interiors it offers on all its models, across all segments, and this is true for the i20 as well.
Both cars are available in five trim levels. The Jazz gets the E, S, SV, V and VX trims, while the i20 is available in Era, Magna, Sportz, Sportz(O) and Asta trims. Here is a look at the key features offered by both cars in each trim level.

For customers looking for an automatic gearbox, the Jazz is avaiable with a CVT gearbox in its S and V trim levels, while the i20 only gets a manual gearbox.
