Last month, our spy photographers caught the next-generation Honda Jazz running road trials, and though clad to the hilt with the usual camouflage wrap, there was plenty to suggest that the styling of the fourth-gen will have a softer, less aggressive focus compared to the current third-gen model.
Now, the new Jazz has been visualised by rendering wizard Theophilus Chin, based on that gleaned from the latest spyshot set. The headlights – which feature square projectors – are taller, and the grille is a more conventional-looking design, giving the new car a more rounded outlook reminiscent of that presented by the first two generations.
At the side, the door mirrors have been slightly relocated, and the side surfacing has been simplified, with a traditional high-set shoulder-line in place of the current model’s prominent shoulder creases. Elsewhere, the tail lights drop the vertical presentation and are now horizontal two-piece items to help widen the look of the car.
There should be very little deviation in the petrol and hybrid powertrains for the new Jazz, which is expected to make its debut at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show, but changes to the driveline are in store. The automaker says it is planning to deploy its two-motor Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) hybrid system across its entire lineup of vehicles.
This will include a more compact i-MMD system for small vehicles, which is reportedly set to debut along with the new Jazz in Tokyo. The system will replace the once-problematic Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive (i-DCD) currently seen in the Jazz Hybrid, which utilises a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Wow .. the ass looks a little like a Myvi to me
Change the badge to Proton, this the all new Iriz.
Iriz front, Myvi back. Gud.
Simply stunning and modern! An eye-catching car design that suits everyone’s taste especially millenials. Proton should learn from Honda how to create a world-class design hatchback and not repeat the same game over mistake with their Iriz
When a caveman defines modernity. LOL!
So what is modern then bro? ur Juara, jumbuck?? LOL
X70 is geely’s design..
Juara? Jumbuck? Wow, you certainly showed your era when coming out of your cave.
SOmebody talked about 90’s cars in 2019. Katak bawah tempurung
I agree! Proton cars are all game over. They will go to the museum
Proton no need to learn from Honda how to create a nice looking car. They need to learn from Perodua how to be successful. Since its launch in November 2018, already 150,000 Myvis have been sold, joining the 1.1 million existing Myvis on the road.
Truly, Malaysians know which is a safe and worthy car to buy
They knew which car is safe but they didn’t go for it. Sadly.
MYVI sell well because they using Toyota technology. MYVI is the cheaper version of Vios!
In term of safety, I do not agreed that P2 is better than proton. If you ever test drive P2 car vs Proton car, you will agreed that Proton is better in safety!
So basically all that success was due to Toyota. So the locals didn’t do anything, it was all Toyota effort and hardwork. So what is there for Malaysians to be proud about Perodua, we all should be ashamed because 27 years later we still cannot make our own car. We continue to rebadge since Day One. We all feel so shamed.
Basher said pipu buy p2 coz it is cheap not because it is good
People buy Perodua because it is cheap, not because it is any good.
salah! Proton and perodua cars are priced similarly
Is the new Myvi not good? Affordable, safety wise is properly equipped, looks wise is interesting and what else u want?Remember Proton Savvy? Just one example will do. Is Savvy so good? How safety is that car or how good is that car? Proton is crap. Now Proton is talked by many is also because of Geely. Geely company bought high stakes in Proton. Geely has taken over Proton. Geely brought changes in Proton. Because of Geely, Proton got X70 with interesting techs. If not, Proton wouldn’t have climbed up now
If it does resemble closely, then they are travelling back to 2010
Exactly gen2 Jazz
Somehow it is a throwback to the 2nd generation Jazz. The current design looks much nicer. Bad choice if it is true.
Looks like 2nd gen jazz fused with new myvi….such outdated look.
Should hv a futuristic face like CRV to stand out from the crowd
This rendering looks like 2nd gen… with a facelift.
Looks better with proton logo.. haha
Well I thought it would have looked a lot better than that I was planning on buying a brand new one but like hell that thing looks like garbage shoot the designer on that one
The ass remind me Mercedes B Class.
Meh…yaris 100 times better looking than this…
You need an eye doctor appointment then.
Yeahhhh..Jepunis Irizzzz
Wow… really looked like the older version.
teo is just OVERrated
More like Myvi looking Jazz
Honda should fire Jazz designer. Sorry to say the legendary New Myvi looks better.
Just another fridge.
Honda Myriz
A Honda is a Honda. A Perodua is a Perodua. Let’s call a spade a spade, folks. Who cares if it resembles a Myvi or an Iriz. I’m more excited about the turbo (FINALLY) and the new interior, not to mention new features.
myvi copy jazz
then honda revenge, copy myvi now lol
Sissy car.
hahahaaha
why this upcoming looks like a baby? Current Jazz looks aggressive while this new Jazz looks innocent and almost similar to second gen Jazz.Looks wise, not nice
Engines should be 1.4 & 1.6 DOHC 16 Valve Direct Injection.
