New Honda Jazz Officially Launched in India

Re: 2014 Honda Jazz Spotted in India

Good to be back after nearly a month. With May nearing I am expecting Honda to start the media drives of Jazz sometime in May. They are very keen on this car and will be the volume driven car in their lineup. It has all the ingredients to be the Segment Best, so lets wait for a little bit now then. I am expecting more reports on the Jazz in coming weeks.

Yes buddy!!! Some news coming up once in a while, but the actual car is no where near the vicinity

I feel the IAB article is pretty vague and open ended. They have mentioned statements like "Honda gearing up to introduce the new Jazz" and "Honda has turned its attention towards pre-launch activities for the Jazz" but that is all. They have not made any point on what the gearing up is or what activities Honda has turned it attention to. I mean, I am not sure if they have some solid news like one of the following 1. Ad shooting 2. Service training for dealers 3. Media Drive invitation 4. Spotting of the Indian version in our out of the factory 5. Insider information. Or are they just trying to speculate and have put this news assuming the June / July launch. I wish they had given some detail on the base of the news to make it more believable.

Probably Akash can throw some light on this

I'll plan a visit to HCI next week. Lets see what they have in store. But with my past experience with them, I ain't hoping much.

That's OK buddy!!! If you get some information, it is a bonus for us TAI-gers. If not, again, it makes not much difference from the current scenario. But at least we are trying to get information and share it with the world

New Honda Jazz to get CVT automatic.

All-new Honda Jazz will come with 1.5-litre diesel and a 1.2-litre petrol. Launching in June 2015.

While Honda’s smaller Brio hatch comes with a five-speed automatic, the Jazz will use the CVT belt-and-pulley job from the City. Whereas CVTs are good for fuel economy due to a high final drive ratio, they are not that nice to drive. This is particularly true at low speeds, where the poor responses from the gearbox only slow reactions down

Guess this is a concrete news. ACI was usually pretty accurate with their news regarding Jazz. Nice that it is coming with the CVT but would have loved if they offered the wonderful 1.5L iVTEC also at least in the top-end or as a RS variant. Anyways, now I have a big and tough decision to make - 1.5 iDTEC or 1.2 iVTEC CVT

....... Launching in June 2015.

There is another report on its Mid July launch. So for Jazz lovers keep the launch date as End July.

Consider an earlier launch would be a pleasant news to prospective buyers

The first in this list will be the ‘Jazz,’ premium hatchback, which according to our sources will be making its way in mid of July.

Being a chrome-loving nation, we expect that the Indian-spec Jazz will have more chrome garnishing, compared to what the world gets.

in a bid to attract the excise duty cuts. The petrol variants will be powered with a 1.2-litre petrol engine, good for 90PS of peak power and 109Nm of torque. While the diesel engine will be the same 1.5-litre i-DTEC engine that powers all the Hondas currently. It will continue to make 100PS of power and 200Nm of max torque.

New Honda Jazz to get City's CVT automatic Box

Honda will launch the much-awaited new Jazz in our market around June 2015. The Jazz will be powered by a 1.5-litre diesel engine mated to a manual gearbox and a 1.2-litre petrol, equipped with a manual and a CVT automatic option. This CVT gearbox will be the same unit that does duty in the Honda City sedan.

While Honda’s smaller Brio hatch comes with a five-speed automatic, the Jazz will use the CVT belt-and-pulley job from the City. Whereas CVTs are good for fuel economy due to a high final drive ratio, they are not that nice to drive. This is particularly true at low speeds, where the poor responses from the gearbox only slow reactions down.

Honda has solved this problem by introducing a compact and slender torque converter on this gearbox. This is the reason why driving the City at low and medium speeds is not really a problem. The torque converter keeps sending torque to the car, even at low and medium revs and as a result, engine responsiveness is good.

Famous for its brilliant packaging and massive cabin space, the Jazz is a global bestseller for Honda. And because it is assembled here this time around, with engines manufactured here as well, Honda will be able to price the Jazz competitively.
