Honda Jazz: various bodykits in different regions

Advertisement


As you can see from the photos, there are various front end stylings prepared for Honda Fit / Honda Jazz targetted at different regions around the world.

The top left is the UK market Honda Jazz, while the top right is the American Honda Fit. The second row are both JDM Fits, one with the normal kit and the other in the Fit RS kit. At the bottom is the Jazz you will find in Singapore (which is likely the ASEAN version too), which looks like the Fit RS but with additional fog lamps in the front bumper.

These are just the front end’s styling differences. I’ve counted at least four tail lamp designs! Together with a range of aftermarket tail lamp lenses that are sure to emerge soon if not already, the many customization options of the original Jazz and its new successor is likely one of the main reasons why it is so popular here despite being expensive. Which design do you like the best?

Which design do you think Malaysians will get when the 2nd generation Jazz is finally launched here? It’s likely the ASEAN version. The Defy Convention teaser site counts down another 13 days and 21+ hours until its launch as of time of posting.

    Can you put a poll to that post? Easier for people to vote on which cars. I prefer the UK version and the fit RS version. Looks almost similar to me

    These are not just bodykit variations but all DIFFERENT bumpers. Look closely. Anyway they have the volume to do such variations according to regions.

    maybe is the current version and the future facelift version, now using the UK version bumper, after 2 years, use the US version bumper, then safe the redesign cost, hope the honda can bring 1.5 version and below RM98k.

    Altimi,

    I’m with you! For my taste, I LOVED the US Fit bodykit which I think the best looking…nampak racer sikit. Please…bring in the Fit version so we no need to waste our money going to Racing Fit to install it! Thee…he..heee..

    The roads in the UK carry plenty Jazz models but viewing the selection of designs I’ve got to say the US package ios a marked improvement

    US looks the best for me as it reminds me of the front of the Civic TypeR.

    UK version looks much more refine for me. JDM version obviously the ugliest. US looks a little muscle but very weird for a city car to look muscular.

    When to one of the 3S center and checked out their sales kit for the new Jazz.

    There will be 2 variants for the Malaysian market.

    S-Type ( Basic)

    V-Type (Premium) , 16″ wheels, nav button on steering , bodykit.

    No i-DSI model. Just i-Vtec for both.

    We are going to get the Thailand version of Jazz.

    Price should range from 105~110K

    Which is rather ridiculous for a 1.5l car from Thailand (CBU)
