The new Honda Jazz has been teased just
weeks before its launch in India. The new development has revealed a number of
things, one of which is that it will feature LED headlamps.
The teaser image reveals that the second
facelift for the Mk3 Honda Jazz in India will bring the changes that were
introduced in the Mk3 Honda Jazz internationally with the first (and the only)
facelift internationally in mid-2017. These will be a more dynamic front
bumper, a more upright brand logo on the upper grille and LED headlamps.
However, the Mk3 hatchback in our market won’t be matching the international
car even after the second facelift, as it won’t be getting new alloy wheels
The rear bumper of the once-again-facelifted
Mk3 Honda Jazz in India should also be new, the same unit which the third-gen
model had received internationally with the facelift in mid-2017. We don’t
expect anything new inside on the design front.
The second minor model change for the
previous generation Honda Jazz in India will see the 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol
engine and the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine getting upgraded to BS6.
Currently, the petrol engine produces 90 PS and 110 Nm of torque and the diesel
engine develops 100 PS and 200 Nm of torque. The former was available with a
5-speed MT and a CVT, while the latter came with a 6-speed MT as standard. The
maximum power and maximum torque of the engines and the transmission choices
should remain unchanged.
