GALLERY: Honda Jazz in Carnival Red – live photos

Honda Jazz Carnival Red 3

Earlier in the week, Honda Malaysia announced that a new colour will be added to the Honda Jazz, called Carnival Red, replacing the previous Brilliant Sporty Blue Metallic. Although studio photos were provided, we were not quite sure how the colour would turn out in the real world, so we headed out to the nearest showroom to check it out.

As you can see here, the new crimson hue looks a little different here than in previous photos, being a little flat in appearance as it is a solid colour. Still, it does suit the car in our opinion, being much more vivid and striking than the new Dark Ruby Red Pearl offered on the City. It’s actually close in appearance to the Milano Red offered on the CR-Z, albeit it appears Carnival Red is a little brighter.

Apart from the new colour, the base Jazz S variant also gets a gloss black front grille with chrome garnish plus a chrome rear bar, bringing it in line with the rest of the lineup. Also added are power-adjustable door mirrors (previously manual).

Latest prices for the Honda Jazz in 2016 start from RM73,800 for the S, rising to RM81,000 for the mid-spec E. The range topping V is yours for RM89,400, all on-the-road inclusive of insurance. So, what do you think of the new colour? Sound off in the comments section after the jump.

    This colour is nice. At least can camouflage the vertical tail lights design which makes the rear looks like a Volvo…

    Dont just look at the Colour.
    Look at the price!!!
    Go treat your selves to preowned units if the economy is still hazy and you still need to change cars,or buying for the first time.
    2016 will be TERRIBLE…TERRIBLE….TERRIFYING.
    The worst performing currency in Asia..will hit RM 5 to the Dollar if scandals remain as they are,China keep devaluing the Yuan and Oil trades below US 30 a barrel. You think GOOD TIMES ARE BACK…..you might have lost your job by then.
    The buying frenzy has died in 2015.Survival of the fittest is the KEY now.
    Remember,WHEN THE BUYING STOPS,THE KILLING(OF YOUR SWEAT DOLLARS )STOPS!!!!

        John,judging from your zzzzz comments,you have a BIPOLAR or SCHIZOPHRENIC condition.
        Selayang Hospital has a specialist that can treat your condition.
        When you disagree with others,you like to tokok most of the time.

        • Bertie, Bertie, Bertie. Any decent doctor would know not to diagnose someone without thorough checks and without interviewing that person and yet you so easily pronounced that I am bipolar or schizophrenic.
          You are either someone not fully qualified in the medical profession or a quack. Therefore I am very troubled that you are either unbelievable and talking nonsense, or I shud be very worried for your patients. But I wish you luck anyways

    Why do they keep removing the Brilliant Sporty Blue Metallic and keep ‘re-introducing’ so called ‘new’ colours that actually look worse. The dark ruby red pearl was nonsense, only saw one unit of it in KL up to date, and this carnival red is just too cartoonish. I would actually buy a city only because it was in blue. Good luck with sales Honda marketing team.

    My City is the latest model highest specs. Using it for nearly 2 years now. To be honest, the driving is good and all but the freaking build quality of this car is total bullshit. Rattling sounds everywhere and I havr already sent the car back to service centre for 8 times now still can’t solve. Bloody full Honda Malaysia. Go f urself. If other models come out with similar specs I can guarantee u u will close shop just like current Nissan.

          if there is any movement in the car (during locked) it will trigger the alarm. this function works for thief entering your vehicle other than through your car door for instance breaking your car window etc.

  • Honda Malaysia should introduce the Jazz RS model. Orange Colour. Automatic or manual transmission for purists like in Japan. Definitely will sell extremely well as there are many Honda Lovers here in Malaysia.
