2015 Honda Jazz revealed in production guise

The new Honda Jazz has been revealed in production guise ahead of a Geneva Motor Show debut, and will go on sale in the UK in summer 2015.

Honda turned up to the Paris Motor Show last year with a new Jazz, in prototype form, and will be taking the production version – pictured above – to the Geneva Motor Show next week.

Looking much like the prototype Jazz – and the Honda Fit that’s already on sale in Japan – the new Jazz is less boxy than the current model, with more curves, a blunt back end, steeply raked windscreen, Honda’s ‘Flowing wing’ theme on the nose and rising window line.

The interior of the new Jazz is higher quality too, with dashes of chrome, Infotainment screen, MirrorLink for Android, new upholstery and better plastics.

There’s also Honda’s Magic Seat system – thanks to more interior space with a new platform, shared with the new HR-V – that allows clever reconfiguration of the seating to accommodate a mix of loads and passengers.

Under the skin, the new Jazz offers Honda’s 1.3 litre i-VTEC petrol with 102bhp, mated to a six-speed manual or (optional) CVT gearbox, new lighter suspension, electric power steering and a longer wheelbase.

The new Honda Jazz will go on sale at Honda’s UK dealers in the summer.
