With the 2018 Honda Jazz's launch in India closing
in, more images have started surfacing online. In the latest, Team-BHP forum
member pannag has posted pictures showing the new model’s interior in more
detail.
The 2018 Honda Jazz has the same interior layout as
the current model. The top-of-the-line VX grade seen here gets the cabin
entirely in black once again, with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear
knob. With the mid-life update, the CVT option has made it to the VX grade. In
the old model, it is available in only the S and V grades.
With the latest update, the Honda Jazz has gained
passive keyless entry, push start/stop button with white and red illumination
and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto support and IR remote control. Another feature new to the car is voice
commands, which was offered in the old model but in only the Privilege Edition.
The exterior of the new Honda Jazz has no changes to
write about. Honda has merely extended the LED tail lights to continue into the
vertical reflectors on the tailgate. Radiant Red and Lunar Silver Metallic
colours of the 2018 Honda Jazz have replaced the Carnelian Red Pearl and
Alabaster Silver Metallic colours.
The Honda Jazz is available with a 1.2-litre i-VTEC
petrol engine coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT and a 1.5-litre
i-DTEC diesel engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The petrol engine
produces 90 PS and 110 Nm of torque, while the diesel engine delivers 100 PS
and 200 Nm of torque. The engines and transmissions, as well as their
combinations, will remain unchanged post the MY2018 update.
The new Honda Jazz will go on sale in India on 19
July. Pre-orders will likely commence on 15 July.
