The third-generation (GK) Honda Jazz (also known as the Fit in other markets) has been around for a couple of years now, and it looks like a replacement is on its way. Recently, a test mule was spotted undergoing testing somewhere in southern Europe by our spy photographers.
Based on the images, the one-box design associated with the Jazz is retained as before but with slightly differing proportions. Viewed from the side, we can see smaller front vent glass pieces that could see more rakish A-pillars in play – the repositioned side mirrors serve as a good indicator of the change.
The heavy camouflage on the mule means it is difficult to make out too many of the car’s styling cues but the minimal padding and number of fake body panels to indicate that the vehicle is quite far ahead in its development.
Up front, the cutouts for the headlamps hint at smaller units rather than what you’ll find on the current car. Meanwhile, the vertically-stretched taillights of the GK car have been replaced with horizontal ones instead, giving the vehicle a better sense of width.
Reports indicate the new Jazz will debut sometime in 2020 and come with a mix of petrol and hybrid powertrains. The latter is said to be derived from the latest Insight but it is still too early to solidify such claims.
Another possibility is an all-electric variant that is important for markets like China, with Nikkei reporting that such a model will have a driving range of around 300 km. Honda has already agreed to team up with Chinese company Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) on the development of an electric vehicle, which could be the Jazz EV.

Honda Jazz TypeR 2.0T
The front looks similar to current Mitsubishi Mirage.
Copying the Proton Iriz design silhoutte.
Nobody copies a car that has failed. Iriz is a big failure for Proton. 78% of Proton’s sales come from Saga and PErsona
front bumper design is actually copying from Toyota Vios Previous Gen and rear bumper design looks going back to even more outdated design. As overall, New Gen Honda Jazz is not even amazing as well as new gen Honda Jazz design is also not even inspired and looks going back to old fashioned design
How can u tell exactly when most of detail is covered?
An idiot always pretending that he was a geniuses
Yawn! Next
New Gen Honda Jazz Looks uninspiring and very old fashioned. Actually when it launch new gen Honda Jazz, it is very surely that new gen Honda Jazz is going to be like this design.
I thought this is axia design..
Looks like the back look much better than the current gen.
The current gen GK5 has been extremely ugly since launch and worst of all is the outdated SOHC engine. All the buyers are too blinded by the outside body and brand only. Underneath all old crap parts. The interior is soulless. Outdated design and quality after one month.
All new proton iriz 2020 is better than this ..
Come bro, no joke please.. Iriz dead oredi.. Killed by Myvi..
Not the 2015 iriz. Its Iriz 2020 bro.. the all new replacement model. Made by geely. Tuned by volvo. Handling by merc. Rebadge by Proton.
Priced by tesco.
Just like Shell Malaysia, later Perodua complain why new Iriz is too cheap, eating into their sales and profit.
New iriz will be made by bangla in Bangladesh and export it back to Malaysia
Come bro, no joke please.. have some compassion for the Myvi that killed in gaungs and longkangs.
Look same like previous generation.
Can we have turbo for jazz it will be fun
Apparently the next Jazz will be turbocharged ;)
