Honda has tried to match the new Jazz with the VW Polo's standard, and claims that the handling of the car would be equally good.
The new Jazz has grown 60mm lengthier and that has been the reason behind its enhanced leg room. The boot too has gone bigger to about 400 litres.
The 2014 Honda Jazz will be made available in three engien options- a 1.3L petrol, a 1.5L petrol and a 1.5-litre hybrid, besides a diesel engine powered version. It will be offered both in the manual and automatic transmssion gearbox options.
In India, it will most probably come up with 1.2-litre iVTEC petrol and 1.5-litre iDTEC diesel engines, which also power the Amaze.
The Jazz hybrid might not make its way to India, but this could be a great option for several international markets where Hybrid vehicles are in vogue.
This version has been claimed to have attained a fuel economy of 36.4kmpl, which makes the highest among all hybrid models in Japan.
