The Honda Jazz has returned to Argentina with a facelift. The small hatchback is
now sourced from Brazil, and not Mexico. The 2019 Honda Jazz
features a little more stylish Solid Wing Face with the new grille, a more
prominent ‘H’ logo, full-LED headlamps and a revised bumper. On the sides, the
updated model sports new 16-inch alloy wheels.
At the rear, the
sub-compact hatchback has a sharper bumper, and its LED tail lights are taller
now with most of the reflector resting on the tailgate. The interior design has
remained the same. Honda offers the car in only a feature-packed EXL grade,
with leather steering wheel, cruise control, leather upholstery and new 7-inch
touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The new Honda Jazz
offers enhanced safety thanks to the inclusion of six airbags (up from two
airbags), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) and Hill Start Assist (HSA).
Performance has taken a hit as the updated model uses the version of the
1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine without direct injection. While the old model’s
engine delivered 132 PS and 155 Nm of torque, the new engine produces
120 PS and 145 Nm of torque. As before, a 7-step CVT is standard.
The 2019 Honda Jazz costs 625,000 pesos in Argentina. Its
Indian launch will take place later this month, reportedly.
