The 2018 Honda Jazz
is now on sale in India, with minuscule exterior changes, new convenience
features and enhanced safety. The premium hatchback's starting price has gone
up by INR 1.36 lakh* to INR 7.35 lakh* with the MY2018 update.
With the latest
update, the Honda Jazz retains the original design introduced for the third
generation and sees the LED tail lights getting extended further on to the
tailgates. Honda also mentions chrome door handles and two new colours (Radiant
Red and Lunar Silver Metallic) as the exterior changes.
The 2018 Honda Jazz
comes with a slew of new comfort and convenience features. These include
passive keyless entry, engine start-stop button, 7-inch Digipad 2.0 touchscreen
infotainment system with navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise
control, front centre armrest, central lock hand switch and driver-side vanity
mirror.
Rear parking
sensors and speed sensing auto door lock features have made the Honda Jazz
safer now. Honda says that it has made improvements in noise and vibration
levels too. The engines and transmissions and their combinations have remained
unchanged.
The 1.2-litre
i-VTEC petrol engine produces 90 PS and 110 Nm of torque. It is paired with a
5-speed manual transmission or a CVT. The 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine
develops 100 PS and 200 Nm of torque. It is linked to a standard 6-speed manual
transmission. The fuel economy rating is the same as before: 18.2 km/l
(petrol-MT)/19.0 km/l (petrol-CVT)/27.3 km/l (diesel-MT).
The old Honda Jazz
was available in E, S, SV, V and VX grades. The new Honda Jazz comes in S, V
and VX grades. Also, the S grade is exclusive to the diesel engine model. What
customers will appreciate about the MY2018 update is that the CVT option is
finally available in the range-topping VX grade.
