Honda has teased the new BS6 Jazz,
indicating that the updated model might be more than just a greener car
compared to the BS4 version. Also, the company has discontinued multiple
models. The Mk4 Honda Jazz that broke cover last year isn’t destined to India
because of being too sophisticated and the existing model having failed to live
up to the expectations. The Mk3 Honda Jazz’s lifecycle will probably be
extended in India with another facelift. However, the teased car doesn’t seem
to have any design changes. Maybe it’s packing feature revisions, then.
The BS6 Honda Jazz, like the BS4 version,
should be offered with a 1.2-litre i-VTEC naturally aspirated petrol engine
linked to a 5-speed MT or a CVT and a 1.5-litre i-DTEC turbocharged diesel
engine matched with a 6-speed MT. These petrol and diesel engines came in the
tuning of 90 PS/110 Nm and 100 PS/200 Nm respectively in the old car. The fuel
economy rating of the BS4 version was 19.0 km/l (petrol-MT)/18.2 km/l
(petrol-CVT)/27.3 km/l (diesel-MT).
Like the BS4 version, the BS6 version will
likely be available with features like 15-inch alloy wheels, LED tail lights,
7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and GPS
navigation, paddle shifters and cruise control.
