Honda Jazz

The car is named Honda Fit in Japan but Honda markets it as the Jazz in export markets. Thus it is launched as the GD1 Honda Jazz for Malaysia, fully imported and made in Japan for export, and is currently available in only 1 variant and equipped with the new L13A engine. The L13A displaces 1339cc and is technically classified as a 1.4l. It is of the new generation L-series engine, featuring the new iDSi (intelligent Dual Sequential Ignition) technology which focuses on excellent fuel economy along with good power output. Thus the engine delivers 83ps max power but fuel consumption can exceed 20km/lt

For Malaysia Honda offers the Jazz in a choice of 4 colours; Satin Silver Metallic, Ice Blue Metallic, Nighthawk Black Pearl, and Milano Red. As indicated by their name, the Silver and Blue are metallic colours while the Black is pearl.

The new Honda Jazz would be available in three variants Jazz, Jazz Mode and Jazz Active. i.e. two 1.2 liter and a 1.5 liter petrol engines. The 1.2 liter petrol engine generates maximum power of 89 Bhp at 6200 rpm and maximum torque of 110 Nm at 4800 rpm, whereas the 1.5 liter petrol variant of the Jazz produces maximum power of 120 ps at 6600 rpm. The new Honda Jazz attains the speed of 0 – 100 kmph in just 11.1 seconds with top speed being 165 kmph. The engine of new Jazz comes mated with 5 speed manual transmission. Honda claims a mileage of 16-17 kmpl, and the value is certified by ARAI. High price and high comfort.

Interior - wise, the star is the new Ultra Seat which features a new rear seat design which is superbly flexible and allows three 'modes' to be created for rear carrying space on the Jazz. These are the Utility, Long, and Tall modes. By folding the rear seats in different ways, each mode offers a variation in the rear carrying space which is optimized for different kind of loads - wide bulky loads (up to 6.5 ft wide), very long narrow loads (up to 8 feet long) or very tall loads (up to 5 feet tall)
