All New Honda Jazz, yapp, akhirnya Honda merilis varian Honda Jazz dengan model terbarunya, seperti apa sih model terbaru dari Honda jazz yang diluar sono dikenal sebagai Honda Fit, kira2 kapan ya udah bisa masuk, gosip panas nya sih katanya udah bisa mulai diinden nih For your information, you can also check the All New Honda Jazz Picture in my other pages. Under the skin, the five-seat hatchback is based on a development of the chassis which underpins the current model, and it retains that car’s centrally located fuel tank. This helps to free up interior space.  What is new is the promise of an improved ride. Much of this is down to the fact that the new Jazz is bigger than before. The wheelbase is 50mm longer, up to 2,500mm, while the car gains 55mm in length, at 3,900mm. By bringing the windscreen forward 120mm, stylists have not only altered the Jazz’s profile, but created a roomier cabin that is a match for some family cars. Finally, clever triangular windows have been sculpted into the front doors, improving visibility – a sore point with many current owners. The fit and finish of the cabin has been refined, too, with better quality plastics, more supportive seats and rake and reach-adjustable steering that gives a better driving position. A new dashboard is easier on the eye, while passengers in the back seats will appreciate the increased length, which gives 40mm more legroom.However, in their quest for a larger interior and increased load capacity, Honda’s designers have decided to drop the spare tyre in favour of a repair kit. This frees up an extra 43 litres of boot space, up to 427 litres. Under the bonnet, modifications are more dramatic. While the current Jazz has 1.2 or 1.4-litre petrol power, the newcomer will get a choice of a 1.3-litre unit generating 99bhp, or a 1.5-litre engine producing 118bhp. Both engines feature Honda’s latest i-VTEC variable valve timing technology, and manual or CVT auto gearboxes are available with both. Honda claims that the 1.3-litre will return 68mpg, while the 1.5 will deliver 55mpg. The company refuses to confirm whether an oil-burner is in the pipeline, but our sources insist one will be added to the range. Performance from our test car’s 1.5-litre powerplant was impressive, propelling the Jazz from 0-60mph in just under nine seconds. Push it hard, however, and the high-pitched whine above 5,000rpm becomes rather unpleasant, as the CVT gearbox fights to keep up with top-end revs. On winding roads, the Honda feels more sure-footed than before, and it’s stable under heavy braking, too. At cruising speeds, a stiffer chassis means refinement is improved. That will please a lot of owners, who think the current car is a little lacking in this area. The only significant question mark we have over the new Jazz is with the steering. Honda has employed electric assistance and revised the rack to reduce the amount of effort required when trying to manoeuvre in tight spaces. But we found it too light and lacking feel, particularly around town. However, this was really the only questionable ingredient of a superbly conceived supermini. From this early drive, it seems that Honda has hit the right notes all over again. Wow, Honda jazz kali ini bkira-kira bisa mendobrak pasar seperti 4 tahun lalu ga yah? kemungkinan Yaris, Swift, Sirion bisa kelabakan nih var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
