After creating waves in North America through its Fit and rocking the stages in Frankfurt with its Jazz prototype- Honda is ready to introduce its subcompact car in the markets of Europe.
The Honda Jazz will be available for sale in European markets in summer 2015. In the beginning, the 3rd generation of this stylish hatchback will feature 1.3-liter VTEC four-cylinder ‘Earth Dreams Technology’ petrol engine generating 101hp (102PS) at 6,000 rpm, attached with a six-speed manual as a replacement for previous 5sp unit or an optional semi-automatic CVT transmission.
Honda claims it to be the roomiest of minis available, as the boot space in this cutie is 354 litres with the rear seats up and 884 litre when they are folded.
This cute beauty is bursting with technology same as the other models by the manufacturer. The Honda jazz will be featuring the new Advanced Driver Assist System that utilises a camera and mid-range radar, along with an up-to-date version of the Honda Connect system that syncs with smartphones and other multimedia devices through MirrorLink, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI and USB. Apart from that, it’ll identify traffic signs, tap up your lights onto main beam all by itself and pull a brake on its own, if it senses a forthcoming collision.
No news about the performance, economy or emissions yet, but a hybrid of this mini is expected to pop up later this year or early 2016, with a 1.5 liter engine and an electric motor pumping out 130hp.
