The 2015 Honda Jazz destined for the European market has been revealed prior to its debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March. Set to go on sale in the middle of the year, the third-generation B-segment hatch will possess a 1.3 litre i-VTEC engine from Honda’s Earth Dreams Technology umbrella.
The mill produces a total of 102 hp at 6,000 rpm and is mated to either a six-speed manual or CVT transmission. For comparison, the Honda Jazz on sale here boasts a 1.5 litre mill that pumps out 120 hp and is paired only to a CVT gearbox.
Looks wise, nothing much differs between the Euro- and Malaysian-spec except for a lightly reworked front grille design, the addition of a rear wing and a shark’s fin antennae. Inside, Honda’s trademark Ultra Seats are featured – the ingenious seats can be configured into a variety of layouts, allowing owners to load a wide range of items. Cargo capacity is quoted at 354 litres with the seats up and 884 litres with the seats folded.
Elsewhere, a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system is offered with Honda’s latest Honda Connect platform. It offers a variety of Internet-based services including web browsing, real-time updates on traffic, news and weather conditions as well as access to Honda’s App Centre.
Safety kit on the Euro-spec Honda Jazz includes the firm’s Advanced Driver Assist System safety umbrella – which comes as standard on all but the entry-level variant. The suite of safety features is comprised of a forward collision warning system, lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition capabilities.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
i wonder what will happen to P1 & P2 sales if they sell Jazz 1.3 between 60k to 65K???
Why the dashboard looks like City? Designers all should be sacked!
Mr Gregory Sze…
Why are some of the pics from the old Jazz GE model (2008-early 2014) ended up on your (mid-)2014 Malaysian-spec Honda Jazz (GK) Grade V gallery…?
Thank you for the spot. Error has been rectified.
I really hope Our Honda City and Jazz could feature Honda Lane Watch and reverse camera. Our car prices just like the cars are made of gold.
Nowadays the cars sold in Malaysia have bigger engines than those sold overseas. Even the JDM Corolla is 1.3/1.5 litres only. Years ago, it was the other way around, cars here were smaller engined. Looks like M’sian are becoming more prosperous or is it because fuel costs are expensive overseas?
That is Honda’s latest EarthDream engine. Most likely it’s more fuel efficient. There’s a reason to go smaller cc nowadays.
Only 120nm, not worth FC saved
In Europe the VW Polo comes with 60 hp. You can spend more and get 75, 90, …, 200 hp… it’s up to how much you want to spend. Cars in Malaysia are usually much more limited in terms of choices, the engine of choice is usually on the upper end of the spectrum. Say 120 hp for the Polo… not the most powerful there is, but more on the higher spec side of things.
only a 1.3 petrol available in europe?? honda shud issue out an idtec diesel too in order to sell well in Europe…those new 1.6idtec which is available in both the euro civic & crz maybe.
Usually there should be several engines you can pick from… the 2011 Jazz was available with a 1.2 liter petrol, a 1.3 liter hybrid and a 1.4 liter petrol. No diesel though. We’ll have to see what the 2015 Jazz will be available with.
“Looks wise, nothing much differs between the Euro- and Malaysian-spec”
Do agree, only big/huge difference are Bolehland selling price and Euro selling price.
No diesel option for our diesel loving European friends?
I hope our Honda Jazz and City also could feature the Lane Watch and reverse camera. Our car prices are like the cars are made of gold.
Include expected target group so as to give substance to pricing and marketing.
