Recently we have seen the entry of so many new premium hatchbacks to Indian automobile market . Maruti Ritz , Fiat Grande Punto ,Hyundai 120 , and now Honda Jazz . Honda lovers were eagerly waiting for a Honda car in small premium segment . Though now their dreams came true , Honda really disappointed them on pricing scheme . The lowest model of Jazz is priced above 6 lakhs .The overall design , engine and functions are superior just like in any Honda car. If you are ready to spend extra money for quality and facilities ,Honda Jazz is worth a checking .
Honda Jazz Design : Honda Jazz looks more like an MPV than a hatchback .Mono volume forward design , shrinked bonnet , (“A”) pillar near head lamp , roof line , rear quarter glass etc. all adds up to this decision . Triangled and chrome plated front grill with Honda logo and V shaped bonnet are other attractions . Hatch door in the backside is extended upto bumper . So there will not much strain for putting things inside dicky .
Honda Jazz gives more importance for functions than interior design . Fuel tank of Jazz is placed in front of front seats , by providing more spacious interiors . Back seats can be folded in 50:50 ratio . Sitting side of seats can be uplifted if required for placing luggage . Honda Jazz shares 60 % of parts with Honda City . But the interior design of Jazz is almost different from other Honda vehicles . Music system in Jazz in capable of playing mp3 CDs .There’s no USB port ,but there is a 3.5 jack as an alternative . AC controls are located near to music system . Dashboard has more space and is with an excellent build quality . Though it includes many facilities and options ,we might feel a little discomfort in front seat leg space . So totally the interior and exterior design of Honda Jazz impressive .
Honda Jazz Engine :
Honda reduced the power of the engine to 1198 CC 4 Cylinder petrol to include the vehicle into small segment , and to benefit the taxes cuts established by Indian government . Variable Value timing control improved the power to 89 bhp at 11.2 kg m torque . Performance increases with speed . This Honda trait is noticeable in Jazz on speeds above 3000 rpm . You will notice the real power and smoothness of this engine above 5000-6000 rpm ,as Honda V-Tech activates . Honda Jazz uses City like electric power steering with 60 A motor . Accuracy of the steering is excellent in all modes of drive ,also its very light to handle .
Honda Jazz Price :
At an Indian price range of 6.98 lakhs , Honda Jazz is at the top of premium hatchbacks . Honda again proved that they give more importance to security by providing ABS and Air Bags for standard model . But at this price , Fiat Grande Punto , Hyundai I20, Ritz provides some out of features like climate control ,alloy wheels , fog lamps ,parcel trays etc. And this would make the competition tough for Honda if the City effect (pride outperforms price ) is not repeated .

Yes , But I guess Honda’s engine would outperform Hyundai i20 . The price factor give more attraction to later .
WHAT IS THE SPECIAL IN PAYING EXTRA AMOUNT FOR THE SAME CARS WHAT ARE AVAILABLE IN MARKET.
1).Is their better mileage comaritive others.
2).Is their service cost is lesser then other cars

Honda has to think very care fully because the running cost is also more for honda cars comparitive other cars.
