2008 Honda Jazz News
July 25, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
Winding Road have got their hands on some Juicy news about Honda’s best selling car, the Honda Jazz. As we reported earlier in the year, the next-generation Jazz is set to look very similar to the current model, mainly because it has been such a great seller.
The new Jazz is 5cms longer, and 2.5 cm wider, so it hasn’t gained too much weight. Powered by a revised version of the current 1.3-liter i-VTEC engine, the new Jazz will produce an outstanding 73kWs (earlier reports indicated 65kWs).
Fuel consumption has also been addressed with figures floating around the 4.1 litres/100kms (equaling that of the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic Hybrid). Honda is expected to debut the new Jazz in October, prior to the Tokyo Motor Show.
Australian delivered vehicles are expected early next year.

Thailand….YUK!
Get a Yari, best dang Asian car on our market
PERIOD!
Cheers

4.1L/100km in a car that can comfortably accommodate 5 full-size adults…. when you’re on a good thing, stick to it. Well done Honda, the Jazz is the ultimate suburban runabout.
I think the Yaris is a hideous looking thing in comparison to to the Jazz… although I am not a fan of either names.. Jazz.. Yaris.. comeon…
It could’ve been worse, Honda could have used the Japanese market name … the “Fit”!!
I’d go for the new Mazda 2. It looks great and probably the best car in it’s class to drive.
haonda have been doing these super-economy engines for years.No need for smelly diesel or complex hybrids
I remember the civic VEI, the engine in that was pure genuis, Barry Lake Motor-Manual tested it, thrashed the hell out of it to see the most fuel he could use [ie opposite to driving for max. economy] came back with a figure of 5.1L/100km, which is stunning really, driven with frugal [what a word:-)] he got it under 3L/100km…..Brilliant!
Cheers

Living in Thailand for over a year now, I have succumbed to the jazz. I drove a Lexus GS300 and Audi TT when I was last in the UK. Now I rate the Jazz for comfort and quietness as well as economy.
Not sure I would be seen dead in one back in Blighty. But out here its considered very smart.. go figure??
Chock dee, naa!
