A Japanese magazine has rendered what it thinks the next-generation Honda Jazz will possibly look like. Aside from updated looks, the new Jazz (or Fit if you’re Japanese) is said to be fitted with new engines as well. The rejuvenated fourth-gen Jazz will be launched in June 2019, according to the magazine.
Focusing on the new looks, the rendering reveals a very Civic-esque front fascia, no doubt a move to standardise the design language across Honda’s vehicle line-up. The new “Solid Wing Face” is prominent here, with a large silver element on the grille. Flanking the new grille are a pair of sharper LED headlamps. Subtle changes can be seen on the bumper as well.
The magazine also stated that the car will be up to 30 kg lighter than the current Jazz, although it did not disclose how those weight savings will come about. However, the more important changes take place under the hood.
Powering the new Jazz is said to be a new 1.0 litre direct-injected three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which could be sourced from the European-market Civic (127 hp and 200 Nm). Another option here is a hybrid powertrain, comprising a 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine with Honda’s i-MMD system.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Have to delay buying a Jazz until 2019/2020
Looks much better IMHO with the new headlight design.
Our Proton hybrid and Proton Iriz EEV what happened? Last year, Proton gaya with the Iriz EEV. They said it will be a big seller when it is launched. They showcased the car to everybody. To all motoring journalist. So, Government also gave a couple of hundred millions to Proton to launch their Iriz EEV. What happened?
Go ask Tan Chong
Better than recond 318 f30 imo that looks so awkful.

Read “next generation”
Wow! this would be interesting. Look forward to it

Excellent looking car. Should be wonderful when it arrives to Malaysia. Design language is much more beautiful and sporty compared to the current one. Hopefully Honda Malaysia will have the RS model like in Thailand,Indonesia and Japan.
cheap plastic anywere
I knew that the next gen front face would be like that.. Haha dah agak daahhh.. ;D
Pls be patient, Proton still testing their EV in Mars.
Please be patient, toyota is still trying to figure out how to add even an extra airbag into their moving coffin. Wan ESC? Wait until 4040.
We already have 7 airbags with our models, like the Camry Hybrid. When you can’t afford safer model, you pretend they DON’T EXIST.
No comments yet? Waiting for new city.
1.0 L turbo or A hybrid engine? Why not Both Zoidberg? Wubwub wub wub wub wub wub wub wub wub wub wub
ooo…wowww.. i love small car with turbo.. currently the best in Msia is Fiesta ecoboost..

and its with VTEC! prolly better than fiesta
Honda ? Nope, thanks.
Sushi car have good RV.. Say no to Kimchis cars, Volkwagen, Chevrolet & Proton CamPro!
I like Japanese cars but IMHO lately their design…well…. a bit too much “japaneze” and getting me bored with it. European marque are producing very exciting design but too bad its expensive here. I bet Malaysian will love to get continental cars if its affordable.
