Honda Jazz 2008

Honda Jazz

All new Honda Jazz dances to the same tune as its popular predecessor.

Strike up the band – the new Jazz is here!

Honda promises the all-new Jazz supermini will trump its predecessor in every area when it hits showrooms in October.

And that’s some promise, as the current Jazz has proven consistently popular with owners – almost 161,000 in the UK – since it was launched in 2001, regularly featuring in the Auto Express Driver Power survey top ten.

As you can see, the look is evolutionary rather than groundbreaking, but the Japanese firm's latest urban runabout boasts even more passenger and storage space, thanks to being slightly longer and wider than the outgoing car.

But in a surprise move, there will be no diesel engines under the bonnet, as Honda believes the refinement, fuel economy and performance of its i-vtec petrol engines justify shunning an oil burner.

So, 1.2 and 1.4-litre petrol units will power the new Jazz at launch, and a hybrid will come during 2009 promising tax-busting emissions fuel bills low enough to satisfy even the most credit crunched.

Set to be officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October, prices for the Jazz will start at £10,000, rising to around £14,000 for a well-equipped 1.4-litre model.

diria mesmo mais, ou melhor repetindo-me uma vez mais, é o utilitário mais util a anos luz da concorrencia...

para mim é o herdeiro no sec XXI, da Renault 4L

o Fit/Jazz é o master do packaging, por isso mesmo, punha-o dentro do grupo do Mini, Panda e Twingo (os originais).
Naõ quero desvalorizar a 4L, compacta, prática, pseudo-TT, mas considero o fit/jazz um pouco longe da abordagem utilizada na 4L
 
Bigger, better Jazz calls a great new tune

All-new Honda baby on sale after debut at October’s Paris show.

Strike up the band – the new Jazz is here! Honda claims its next supermini, due on sale in October, is superior to the outgoing model in every area.
And that’s some promise, as the current car has been hugely popular – with two million sold since it was launched in 2001. The Jazz has featured regularly in the top 10 of Auto Express’s Driver Power satisfaction and reliability survey.
Although it’s based on a reworked version of the current chassis, the newcomer offers more passenger and storage space – as it’s longer and has a wider track than at present.
The windscreen has been moved further forward, too, creating the roomiest cabin in class. And the 427-litre boot is 74 litres up on the original’s.
Surprisingly, though, there will be no diesel engine. Honda believes the refinement, fuel economy and performance of its i-vtec petrol units will keep customers happy.

So, power will come from 1.2 and 1.4-litre petrol motors from launch. A hybrid version will follow in 2009, featuring a 1.2-litre petrol engine and an electric motor to power the car silently and without emissions at urban speeds.
As a result, this variant will offer significant tax benefits, as well as fuel bills low enough to satisfy motorists hit hard by the credit crunch.
Two gearbox options will be available: a five-speed manual and Honda’s ‘i-shift’ automated manual, complete with steering wheel-mounted paddles and a full auto mode. A light on the dashboard indicates the most economical time to change ratios using the paddles.
There will be three trims from launch, with the line-up headed by a Sport version which gets a dynamic bodykit and heavily sculpted seats.

The Jazz hits dealers here shortly after being officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. Prices will start from £10,000, and rise to around £14,000 for a range-topping 1.4-litre petrol model.

Tenho algumas dúvidas quanto ao Jazz Hybrid para 2009. Também falam em 3 versões de equipamento, o que certamente não acontecerá em PT. Os preços devem andar dentro do referido: 12.600€ > 17.700€.

No geral parece-me uma oferta muito interessante. A Honda pegou numa fórmula de sucesso e melhorou-a em todos os aspectos. As performances devem ser modestas mas não deixa de ser um package muito bom. Espero que ofereçam algum equipamento disponível noutros mercados como TPMS e Cruise Control.

Tenho serias duvidas tambem no que diz respeito ao Jazz Hibrido de aparecer em 2009, já li num forum dedicado ao Jazz\Fit que a versão hibrida só ia sair em 2015 (data prevista para a geração seguinte).
Tenho pena que os motores i-dsi tenham sido retirados do Jazz, a Honda no Japão vai continuar a desenvolve-los para os utilitarios JDM devido ao seu baixo consumo mas nos modelos "globais" foram retirados porque eram pouco performantes para o mercado Europeu e Americano...
E adeus cvt...:(

Vamos ver como se comporta a i-SHIFT mas se for como no Civic...[:vm)]

A introdução dos motores i-VTEC parece-me acertada. Só acho que a Honda deveria disponibilizar de imediato a versão híbrida e uma versão Sport com o motor 1.5/120cv.

O maior problema do Jazz continuará a ser a distribuição de peso e provavelmente o ruído do motor a velocidades mais elevadas.
 
Muito mais giro tanto por fora como por dentro.
De lado é um pouco esquisito pois parece que levou com qualquer coisa na cabeça...[:cool:]
 
Honda Jazz: first look in the metal


Here are the first pictures of the all-new Honda Jazz, the follow-up to the super-clever supermini that’s been on sale since 2002. You’ll have to wait until autumn 2008 for Honda’s UK dealers to launch the Jazz, but CAR has already pored all over the new supermini to bring you a full preview of the latest mini.

So what’s the new Jazz like?

Our first impressions are that it’s an easy-to-use model – with first-rate ergonomics. You can see why so many older drivers buy the Jazz; it’s easy to own, a cinch to get in and out of and the cabin quality is impressive.

Honda says it’s given the new Jazz a ‘big car’ feel, so although it may look similar to its predecessor, it’s longer by 55mm (to 3900mm) and wider by 20mm (to 1695mm). The wheelbase is 50mm longer, too, and a slightly wider front track is claimed to make it more agile.

Handling? On a Jazz? What about practicality?

That growth spurt has liberated even more space for drivers and passengers; Honda says rear-seat passengers will benefit from 37mm extra kneeroom, for instance. We’ve sat front and back and it feels more like a car from the class above.

Honda’s Magic Seats are back, but they’re now even easier to move around the cabin – and the rear pew still folds up like a cinema seat. The new Double-Trunk boot boasts a stowaway shelf underneath the floor, which can be moved to one of four positions in the boot; the combined space in both compartments is a massive 399 litres, more than any other supermini or mini MPVs.

What’s the new Honda Jazz like inside?

The windscreen has been moved forward on the new Jazz, allowing thinner A-pillars and the quarterlights are three times larger than before. It’s bright and airy inside and, if you plump for EX-spec models, you get a heat-absorbing glass panoramic roof.

Elsewhere in the cabin, Honda has fitted higher-quality dashboard materials and niceties like electrically folding door mirrors and iPod connectivity (but only on higher-spec models).

And under the bonnet?

Honda has introduced two new i-VTEC petrol engines to replace the old 1.2- and 1.4-litre i-DSI units. The i-VTEC variable valve timing technology means that the 89bhp 1.2-litre engine will achieve an impressive 55.4mpg on the combined cycle and 120g/km of CO2; the 99bhp 1.4-litre is only a little way behind, with economy of 54.3mpg and CO2 of 123g/km.

Pick the 1.4 and you can spec Honda’s improved six-speed i-SHIFT automated manual gearbox. It’s a revised version of the Civic’s – which should reduce gearchange times and offer smoother shifts. Equipping this gearbox also brings the 1.4’s emissions down to 120g/km of CO2 emissions, putting the Jazz in the UK’s £35 tax band.

So how expensive will the new Jazz be at launch?

Prices haven’t yet been announced, but there shouldn’t be too many surprises when it goes on sale in the autumn. Today’s model starts at £9200 and climbs to £12,200 – and we hear the newcomer will reflect that price range.

Standard kit includes dual front and side airbags, as well as full-length side curtain airbags. Other equipment will be confirmed nearer the launch, but not every model will have four-way adjustable steering columns.

It’s not very different, is it?

Honda’s undeniably followed a same-again recipe for the new Jazz, but it hopes to cash in on buyers downsizing to cleaner, greener small cars – without sacrificing space.

But we can’t help remembering the radical change Honda bestowed upon the Civic. The Jazz is a bit dull by comparison, but then again, why would they mess with a winning formula?
