Honda Jazz facelift gets 130 PS 1.5 litre for Europe

Honda has released the first images of its refreshed Jazz for the European market ahead of the car’s debut in Frankfurt next month. Aside from updates to the exterior styling and interior trim, the car will be available with a 130 PS 1.5 litre i-VTEC petrol engine for the first time on the continent.

The European Jazz gets a slightly different front end look to that seen here, with a new grille and slightly revised headlight cluster to be found. Also on, a new bumper design, which features aggressive contours around the air vents.

A new Dynamic grade available for the car adds a thinner front splitter beneath the lower grille and a triple-strake diffuser to the rear bumper – both items are finished with a sporty red accent line. At the rear, the trim strip on the tailgate is now done in gloss black, and updates to the exterior are rounded off by the addition of a new metallic colour called Skyride Blue to the options list.

The new Dynamic grade also adds on LED headlights, front fog lamps, side sill skirts, a tailgate spoiler and gloss-black 185/55 R16 alloy wheels, while the interior features upholstery dressed with a unique pinstripe pattern as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob, which are enhanced by orange stitching.

The Euro 6-compliant 130 PS petrol mill will be seen in the Dynamic grade, with an optional CVT automatic transmission available for the engine. As before, the Jazz will continue to be available with a 102 PS 1.3 litre i-VTEC petrol engine across all trim levels, except for the Dynamic grade.

Standard equipment on the European Jazz includes cruise control, heated seats, automatic headlights and a City-Brake Active safety system. Higher grade variants will come with items such as keyless entry/push-start ignition and safety kit like Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Traffic Sign Recognition.

        Petrol increase 5 cents per litre you bising like the world is gonna end yet asking why the government still using Euro2 fuel? Are Malaysian really this dumb? Later on if Malaysia switched to Euro6 standards, I’ll know who’s going to complain again why the fuel is pricier.

      Don’t forget, Europe is a place where both Toyota and Honda are equally weak on sales.

    I could say that if Honda Malaysia will bring the 6 Speeder Manual Box and a 130PS Direct Injected 1.5L Four Pot into Malaysia i will probably buy ur vehicle.

    with a stronger currency they can afford to spec up the models sold there…if they do the same here (plus the unfriendly taxes of course) the typical Malaysian will start complaining about the price.

    so ask yourself how many Malaysians are willing to pay north of RM100K for a Jazz with all that kit? some, for sure…but not many.

    • Dohc only helps in top end power. Sohc is for better low end response.
