Honda will launch the new Jazz on July 8, 2015. The car will be available in two engine options — a petrol engine with the option of a manual or a CVT gearbox, and a diesel engine with manual transmission. With a couple of weeks still to go for the launch, we’ve got our hands on the variant break-up of the new Jazz. Five variants will be on offer starting with the base E, going up to S, SV, V and the top-spec VX.
The Honda Jazz E will get the following features:
- Power windows
- Tilt steering
- A multi-information display
- Tachometer
- Steel wheels with 175/70 R14 tyres
- Driver seat belt and key reminder
The Honda Jazz S, which is the next variant, is likely to come with all that offered in the Jazz E, and in addition will get the following:
- ABS with EBD (on the Jazz CVT and diesel only)
- Body coloured door handles and wing mirrors with electric adjust
- 3.5-inch screen equipped with an audio system offering Bluetooth, with steering- mounted controls
- Adjustable seat height on the driver's side
- Central locking
- Rear parcel shelf
The next variant, the Honda Jazz SV, builds on the Jazz S' list and offers:
- Dual front airbags
- Fog lamps
- Advanced Multi Information display with real-time fuel economy and outside temperature gauge
- A 5-inch display for the audio system and rear parking camera
- Beige seats, and a premium gloss finish on the centre console
The Honda Jazz V improves on the S variant's feature list with the following inculsions:
- Alloy wheels with 175/65 R15 tyres
- Rear wiper and washer
- Electrically folding wing mirrors with turn indicators
- A leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob
- Climate control with touch-type buttons
- Paddle shifters for CVT option
The top-spec Jazz VX will come with all what the Jazz V has and more:
- Rear spoiler and mudguards
- A 6.1-inch touchscreen AVN system (DVD navigation)
- Black seats with adjustable rear headrests.
- 60:40 split and reclining rear seats along with 'magic seat' function
Honda claims that the petrol Jazz will deliver 18.7kpl in its manual form, while the CVT will offer a mileage of 19kpl. The diesel Jazz is expected to return 27.3kpl. Seven exterior paint shade options will be on offer. The new Honda Jazz is expected to be priced competitively this time around, with over 90 percent of its parts expected to be sourced from local suppliers here. The Honda Jazz is open for bookings at Honda dealerships.
