Honda’s supermini, the Jazz, has been revised, bumper to bumper writes Hannah Gordon What is it? First launched in 2001 the Honda Jazz has been a familiar sight on our roads, the new updated 3rd generation promises more interior space and refinement. Available now with just one engine choice can this reliable little car carry on from where it left off? Who is it aimed at? With the new Jazz Honda is trying to appeal to a larger audience. The styling and simplicity paired with an impressive technology package and a vibrant colour palette to chose from means this car should attract a younger crowd. And the Styling? The Jazz shares some of its styling with the Honda HRV including the headlights. It still retains its upright posture almost MPV like in styling and this helps to make access in and out easier. The new styling gives the Jazz a sharper and more inviting look and everything above the SE range gets alloy wheels as standard. Under the bonnet? Honda have kept things simple with just one engine choice available, a 1.3 litre petrol engine, naturally aspirated and producing just 102bhp, but this car isn’t designed to beat anyone at the traffic lights. Instead the engine is refined and pulls well through the gears, there is a six-speed manual and the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) automatic gearbox. The CVT gearbox is rather annoying though and I wouldn’t recommend choosing it over the manual option unless you really have to. What about inside? The interior is extremely spacious and the MPV exterior styling helps to give a decent amount of headroom. Interior quality is good and the materials used feel hard wearing. The Magic Seat system offers versatility and extra space with the rear seats folding completely flat and going from a 354 litre boot space to a huge 1314 litres. This space is better than the Ford Fiesta and is only marginally beaten by the Nissan Note. On the road? The Jazz is a nicely set up car that excels well with any type of driving conditions, the steering is direct and not too heavy whilst the engine doesn’t pull like a train it does give you a sense of knowing whats going to happen without a kick from a turbo. The suspension soaks up holes in the road and the cabin noise...
