Honda SIEL on Wednesday- 10th June 09, launched its much-awaited premium hatchback Jazz in India. Honda SIEL has finally taken the wraps off the Honda Jazz hatchback in Delhi. This is a first car after the joint venture between Honda and the Siel group.
Speaking on the occasion, Masahiro Takedagawa, president and CEO, Honda Siel Cars India Ltd, said, "The Honda Jazz is a segment-defining car and is loaded with all the values that are associated with Honda. The Jazz will cater to a unique group of people who want the latest and most stylish models with the best of technology, safety and practicality in their car."Honda Siel Cars India has built up a reputation for building cars that people want. They began with the City, and moved on to the Accord and then the Civic. They've set their sights on bigger numbers now, which means they’ve got only one way to go: smaller cars. Enter the Jazz, which Honda hopes will play its part in increasing their share in the Indian market.
The spacious hatchback will come with a single engine option for now - the techno-laden 1.2-litre SOHC iVTEC powerplant. The engine is good for a class-leading 90PS of power and 110Nm of torque. Despite this, Honda's techno-wizardry makes this a very frugal powerplant too - we haven't tested it yet, only driven it, but ARAI certifies it to be in the region of 16 kmpl. Utilitarian aspects of the car are key too, and the Jazz offers the advantages of hatchback compactness with near-sedan space.The Honda Jazz is equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The shift action is light, smooth and very direct thanks to the adoption of carbon-fibre synchronizers. Steering the car through city traffic or speedy corners is a delight too with a perfectly weighted steering wheel that is neither over-servoed nor of the rubbery wishy-washy kinds.
