Honda's European division has revealed the Jazz X-Cross, a more rugged-looking version of its popular light hatch for those who may not want to go full-SUV.
Basically, the X-Cross is a cosmetic package, adding elements like wheel arch cladding, front and rear skid plates and side protection strips.
Inside is standard Jazz, with the only difference being a set of 'X-Road' floor mats – we don't have pictures because, well, there aren't any.

What a week. This might be the biggest Geneva motor show the world has seen in some time. That's not to say last year wasn't impressive, with the McLaren 720S, the Aston Martin Valkyrie, the new Audi RS5 and the reborn Alpine A110 standing out as obvious heroes.
The next-generation Volvo S60 has been spied completely undisguised in Sweden, with a single image posted online this week.
Published by Swedish site Teknikens Värld, the picture doesn't offer too many surprises – the car basically looks like a shrunken S90.
We only have this rear three-quarter angle at the moment, though we'd expect the face to be identical to that of the recently-launched V60 wagon (below).
Next-gen Jaguar XJ: Bigger and sportier, not an 'S-Class'
…
At almost 10 years old, the current-generation XJ represented a design step-change for Jaguar. Now Ian Callum, head of design for the Big Cat, says the followup will be bigger and sportier than before.
With the most recent iteration launched in 2009, the XJ has always been Jaguar's flagship. That's not going to change any time soon, but the model might break with 'F Segment' size and design conventions.
