Honda
performed the usual updates to the exterior and interior of the new Jazz and
also added the 128 hp 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine to the European range for the
first time.
The exterior changes aim to make the Jazz a bit more
aggressive and bring it in line with the rest of Honda’s range. The front
bumper now hosts more sharply defined creases for a sportier feeling while at
the rear the theme continues with shallower grille sections and splashes of
gloss black trim.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be offered only with
the also new Dynamic grade, which adds a few bits on the exterior as well,
including a thinner front splitter and a rear diffuser, both finished with a
red accent line. LED headlights, front fog lamps, side sill skirts, a tailgate
spoiler and gloss-black 16-inch alloys are also part of the new Dynamic grade.
Honda has updated the interior with a pinstripe
pattern on the upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob with
orange stitching. The exceptional versatility of the cabin remains untouched,
with the new Jazz still offering its Magic Seat system and a boot space of 354
litres (up to 897 litres with the rear seats folded down).
The existing 100 hp 1.3-liter i-VTEC petrol engine
remains as is, equipping all Jazz trim levels apart from the aforementioned
Dynamic one.
