2014 Auto Expo: Honda unveils all-new Jazz

The new Honda Jazz compact crossover has been finally showcased at the

2014 Auto Expo, which made its debut in November 2013 in Japan. The

crossover is based on Honda's new global design philosophy - EXCITING H

DESIGN!!!, which, according to the company, is to make their cars 'High

Tech, High Touch and High Tension'.

The hexagonal grille with a bold Honda logo, front wind screen with a pair of

intermittent wipers, headlight with mat and silver chromed lamps, rear view

mirrors, sporty spoiler, extended side wings like sections, tail lamp cluster, a

rear micro antenna and mounted stop lamp give the Jazz an entirely new

look.

The new Honda Jazz is loaded with several comfort features such as power

steering with mounted audio controls, audio system with front and rear

speakers, USB, Aux-in, FM and CD/MP3 player support, an auto volume

leveller, plenty of storage options, stylish instrument cluster, electrically

adjustable rear view mirrors, climate control unit, front and rear power

windows and more. Equipped with advanced safety features like G-CON

technology with ECU, ABS with EBD and brake assist along with standard

safety features, the new Jazz crossover promises a safe and secure drive.

Honda will offer the new Jazz in both petrol and diesel fuel engine options.

The petrol models have the same 1.2-litre, i-VTEC petrol engine, which does

duty to the Brio and Amaze. This powertrain churns out a maximum power

output of 87bhp, with a torque of 110Nm @ 4800rpm. The diesel model on the

other hand carries the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel mill, found in the Amaze and

new City. The diesel mill belts out 100PS and 200Nm. The car will be

launched sometime in Q2 2014.
