2020 Honda Jazz first view
With its oversized headlights and slim grille, the all-new Honda Jazz looks slightly awkward from some angles. Nevertheless, the otherwise inoffensive styling and familiar proportions are unlikely to scare off the traditional customer base for this B-segment supermini.
Generous interior space will continue to be a key selling point. The useful rear ‘Magic Seats’ – which can fold flat or be flipped up – are retained, while positioning the fuel tank beneath the front seats has further added to the luggage capacity.
In a significant move, every Jazz imported into Europe is going to feature a petrol-electric hybrid powertrain. Honda has yet to release any output, performance or efficiency details, though.
The car’s appeal should be broadened by the introduction of a Crosstar version. A raised ride height, different bumpers, a nicer grille, wheel arch protectors, integrated roof rails and water-resistant upholstery combine to give a crossover vibe. The mythical ‘lifestyle’ market is probably the target audience, but this more practical Jazz seems well-suited to city-centre environments with their poor road surfaces and careless drivers.
Enhanced connectivity and assistance devices are part of the specification, too. The infotainment system is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible for the first time, for example. In addition, the Honda Sensing suite of technologies has been enhanced, so the Collision Mitigation Brake System can detect pedestrians and cyclists at night and Lane Keep Assist now works on urban and rural roads.
Deliveries are due to begin in the middle of next year.
