Honda will introduce an all-new Jazz (Honda Fit)
later this decade. Japan’s Best Car magazine has created a speculative
rendering of the next-gen Honda Jazz. The car illustrated here
is the fourth generation of the Japanese supermini.
The rendering of the next-gen Honda Jazz is purely
speculative. The rendered next-gen Honda Jazz sports a front-end featuring the
latest Honda design language that was introduced with the (tenth-gen) Honda
Civic and later adopted by bigger and more advanced models like the Honda
Clarity and (tenth-gen) Honda Accord.
Wing-shaped, ultra-thin LED headlights, signature
chrome wing grille that covers the entire width, prominent hood lines, slimmer
radiator grille, rectangular lower air intake and a redesigned bumper are some
of the main design details visible at the front.
From the sides, the rendered fourth-gen Honda Jazz
looks better proportioned and sportier than the current model. It has a
four-part greenhouse with a European 5-seat mini-MPV profile. The sculpting on
the body panels, especially around the rear wheels, makes the car look very
sporty. A character line starting from above the front fender rises gently
while going back all the way to merge into the tail lamps.
The fourth-gen Honda Jazz will likely ride on an
upgraded version of the current model’s platform. Honda is expected to offer it
with its staple small capacity i-VTEC naturally aspirated petrol engines and
even the Sport Hybrid i-DCD hybrid powertrain. Also, the company could
introduce its 1.0-litre VTEC Turbo turbocharged petrol engine in developed
markets. Moreover, Japanese media recently reported that a pure electric
powertrain is also planned.
