Honda The new Jazz, more powerful and dynamic, will be presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show

As a preview of its presentation next September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Honda reveals the first images of the new Jazz, a model to which the brand wants to give not only a more attractive and sporty look, but also better dynamic qualities, for which it introduces for the first time in the model’s range the 130 hp petrol engine and creates the new Dynamic finish variant.

The new exterior design of the Jazz keeps the style that Honda has been introducing across all its recent models, incorporating the new grille and headlights that set them apart. As on those, the bumper grows in size relative to the other elements, with more aggressive contours around the various air intakes on the front end.

The lower sections of the grille join at their ends through a glossy black finished trim above a lower trapezoidal section. The new Dynamic version incorporates a narrower new front splitter beneath the front grille, now positioned lower, LED headlights and front fog lights.

The side and rear views remain practically unchanged, except for the new wheel designs and the new Skyride Blue metallic colour, which is added to the palette available for the new Jazz range. The Dynamic version adds new side skirts, a rear spoiler on the tailgate and exclusive 16-inch alloy wheels finished in glossy black and fitted with 185/55 R16 tyres.

In the interior there are no especially significant changes, except in the Dynamic version, which introduces an exclusive striped pattern on the upholstery, a leather-finished steering wheel and gear lever knob, and orange finish stitching and piping.

The Jazz keeps its well-known versatility thanks to its practical seat folding system Honda Magic Seat, which allows the interior to be configured in numerous ways for carrying both passengers and cargo. As a result, its boot grows from a 354-litre capacity up to the maximum of 897 litres it offers, with astonishing ease.

The standard equipment that Honda has announced so far for the new Jazz includes cruise control, heated seats, automatic headlights, and the City Active Brake system (CTBA) on all versions. The highest trims also feature the Honda Connect infotainment system with a 7-inch screen, rear-view camera, keyless entry and start system, and numerous advanced safety technologies, such as forward collision warning (FCW), lane departure warning (LDW) and traffic sign recognition (TSR).

As for the mechanical offer, all variants in the range will be sold with the well-known 1.3-litre i-VTEC petrol engine producing 102 hp, except for the new Dynamic versions, which add the new 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 130 hp to the range.
