Honda Jazz

Expert Review by Maxabout

Overview

The earlier Jazz was highly attractive and had a fairly roomy cabin. However, because of the exorbitant Honda Jazz pricing, it eventually became a slow seller. Honda changed that with the 2020 Jazz, which comes packed with features, rides smoothly, and features the exclusivity of a segment-first electric sunroof, among many other goodies. The premium hatchback sector is cutthroat, and the 2020 Honda Jazz arrives just in time to compete.

Honda Jazz Design and Style

2023 Honda Jazz has few styling alterations and enhancements. The facelifted model keeps the same body style and shape as the previous model, with the addition of a few aspects such as full-LED headlights with DRLs, LED fog lamps, and a changed front bumper. Aside from the aforementioned cosmetic alterations, the Jazz holds the same appearance as its predecessor, implying that Honda has left the side profile of the 2020 model unaltered. The only cosmetic alteration at the back is a redesigned bumper with black inlays.

Honda Jazz Engine and Gearbox

Unlike the previous model, the new Honda Jazz has a single 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox with the option of a CVT that produces 90 HP and 110 Nm of torque. The BS6-compliant petrol engine delivers excellent performance and has a smooth, consistent power delivery. In the city, the i-VTEC engine with the CVT transmission works silently with effectiveness. The paddle shifters are responsive, and the engine can reach 5500 rpm because of the tight turning radius. The steering feels light to use and the Honda Jazz also handles bumps well, and it feels planted at high speeds.

Honda Jazz Suspension, Brakes and Tyres

Honda has equipped the new Jazz with McPherson Strut With Coil Spring at the front and a torsion beam axle with coil springs at the rear. Ventilated disc brakes in front and the drum brakes in the rear handle the brake system in the Honda Jazz with the aid of ABS (Anti-Brake System) with EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution). Honda Jazz comes with 15-inch alloy wheels which are wrapped by tubeless tyres of 175/65 R15 section on all ends.

Interior and Instrument Console of Honda Jazz

New Jazz's interior design theme is nearly comparable to that of its predecessor. The only difference, aside from a tiny increase in Honda Jazz on-road pricing, is in the top-spec ZX model, which now includes a segment-first electronic sunroof. Aside from that, the Honda provides the completely redesigned cloth upholstery to the Jazz.

Conclusion

Honda has revised the Jazz with a BS6 petrol engine and removed the diesel engine entirely. Still, a CVT transmission provides automatic convenience for consumers, and it remains a very practical automobile. Honda has done enough to ensure that the Jazz is more up-to-date. We're delighted there's a touchscreen that's up to date and has the right range of connecting possibilities. Global NCAP crash evaluated the Honda Jazz and gave it a 5-star rating, making it the safest hatchback car on the market thanks to features like speed & lane assistance, and cruise control. All in all, the Honda Jazz is a decent investment even in 2022 and can be the 5-seater hatchback that you desire.
