The competetion is becoming intense! especially in the premium hatchback segment. 5 days from now we will see Maruti Suzuki will roll out its roomy hatch Ritz. Today Honda has come up more details on its upcoming Jazz which is due on next month. Honda might have perfectly timed the announcement of 1.2L VTEC engine exclusively made for India. Honda says that the 1.2 L i-VTEC engine is specially developed for the Indian Market.

i was one of those who was disparate to buy this hot hatch.. given that they have very less features compared to others.. But the prize they say (7lac ex) i drooped my idea to own this.. and eager for GP. I never expected this from honda.
Good car with wrong pricing. Majority of Indians would prefer sedans instead of this ridiculous priced car.
It seems like Honda doesn’t want build a base in India, instead it want to make money as mu as possible at least efforts. Look at their spare parts prices I am no more a buyer of Hondas at all.
I had huge expectations from Honda Jazz and was waiting desperately for its release. The pricing has been very disappointing. Whats ur take?
Hi,
I would just like to know why would Honda not put in a EURO IV engine in the Jazz? I hear the current engine which is Euro III is Euro IV Compatible but I co do the same to any Euro III engine by installing a sequential CNG kit which is Euro IV compatible. Can you throw some light as to when is Honda planning on giving the EURO IV engine with the JAZZ?
