Speaking on the business situation, Mr Rajesh Goel, Sr. Vice President and Director, Marketing & Sales, Honda Cars India Ltd, said:

Our June despatches were in line with our production output, which we maintained at below 50% of the pre-COVID level. With the unlocking of many states and the reopening of dealer outlets in most markets, we expect car sales to further pick up from this month onwards and will accordingly ramp up our daily production. We hope that this positive momentum will continue thereby helping the industry to recover, however, challenges of COVID related disruptions and rising ownership costs due to higher raw material prices remain.

Currently, Honda Cars India has 5 models in its catalogue for the domestic market. We have the 5th-gen Honda City which sits at the top of the brand’s Indian lineup with a starting price of INR 10.99 lakh. It is on sale beside the 4th-gen model. Then there’s the Honda Amaze that is available at a starting price of INR 6.22 lakh. The remaining two models include the Honda BR-V and Jazz whose prices start at INR 8.62 lakh and INR 7.55 lakh respectively.

The recall will be carried out in a phased manner and has already started from April 17, 2021. The carmaker has released a detailed list of all the models that have been affected, including their production period and the number of units of each model that have been fitted with the faulty fuel pump. Barring the fifth-gen Honda City, the recall has affected every other Honda car in India. The vehicle most affected by this recall is the Honda Amaze with as many as 36,086 units fitted with the faulty fuel pump.

The recall also includes 20,248 units of the fourth-gen Honda City, 7,871 units of the WR-V, 6,235 units of the Jazz hatchback, 5,170 units of the Civic sedan, and 1,737 units of the BR-V. All these vehicles were manufactured between January and October 2019. Additionally, the recall also covers 607 units of the Honda CR-V that were manufactured between January 2019 and September 2020. It must be noted that the Honda CR-V, Civic and BR-V have been discontinued in India.

Vehicles manufactured before or after the above-mentioned time period do not have the suspected fuel pump issue. This recall could actually be a part of a global recall that Honda initiated in March 2021. Earlier last month, Honda had said that they will recall about 761,000 vehicles worldwide to replace fuel pumps that could fail and lead to engine problems. Given the current situation with the pandemic in the country, Honda dealers are operating with limited staff. Customers are advised to visit dealerships with prior appointment to adhere to pandemic protocols.

Honda's authorized dealer partners will be contacting the owners of the affected vehicles individually. The replacement of the part will be carried out free of cost to the customer. Additionally, owners can also check whether their cars are covered under this campaign by entering the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the special microsite which has been created on the company's website.

If you look at the Jazz before it was restored, nearly every body panel of the hatchback seemed cheaply repaired and repainted several times. The headlamps were all cloudy due to oxidation and the outside ORVMs had even lost their mirror caps. Even a tail lamp at the rear was cracked and the clear coat on this Jazz was pealing off from several places. It almost looked like it had been sitting at a scrap yard for months than a not-so-old Jazz that was used regularly.

And then, the restoration job completely transforms the look of the car. All body panels of this Jazz have been completely redone, right from denting, sanding and painting afresh. The car has been given a beautiful gloss finish and some other exterior enhancements include new wheel covers and new projector headlamps with aftermarket LED DRLs. The interior of this Jazz sees a more comprehensive makeover. The interior has been newly painted in a black and brown color scheme with new leather inserts on the door pads, new black and brown leather upholstery and there are even new wood inserts on the dashboard and center console.

This, of course, is the pre-facelift version of the Honda Jazz. Late last year, Honda updated the Jazz with a facelift that brought in comprehensive cosmetic tweaks and more features on the inside. On the outside, the hatchback was updated with a chrome accentuated high-gloss black front grille, new LED headlamps with LED DRLs, and LED fog lamps. The front and rear bumpers were also revised for a sportier look. The signature rear LED wing light ensures that the new Jazz is as good looking from the back as it is from the front.

Under the hood, the BS6 Honda Jazz is powered by a 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine. This mill delivers a maximum power of 90 PS at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 110 Nm at 4,800 rpm. For transmission duties, a 5-speed manual and CVT gearbox option is available. Honda claims that the 2020 Jazz with the 5-speed gearbox is capable of giving a fuel economy of 16.6 km/l whereas the CVT model can return 17.1 km to a litre. The Jazz is also the only car in the segment which is equipped with steering wheel-mounted Paddle Shifters in the CVT variants. Prices for the Honda Jazz currently range between INR 7.50 lakh and INR 9.74 lakh (ex-showroom).

• 17.7 cm Advanced Touchscreen Audio, Video and Navigation system
• Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Weblink

The most striking feature of the 2020 Honda Jazz BS6 is the segment-exclusive ‘One-Touch Electric Sunroof’.

2020 Honda Jazz BS6 Engine

The 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine of the new Jazz is a BS6-compliant unit. This mill delivers a maximum power of 90 PS at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 110 Nm at 4,800 rpm. For the transmission, a 5-speed manual and CVT option is available. Honda claims that the 2020 Jazz with the 5-speed gearbox is capable of giving a fuel economy of 16.6 km/l whereas the CVT model can return 17.1 km to a litre.

The 2020 Honda Jazz BS6 is the only car in the segment which is equipped with race-inspired steering wheel-mounted Paddle Shifters in the CVT variants.

2020 Honda Jazz BS6 Colour & Price

The new 2020 Jazz has 5 colour options – Radiant Red Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic and Golden Brown Metallic.

As per the leaked images, the 2020 Honda Jazz BS6 will be available in 3 variants - V, VX, and ZX. While the entire spec sheet will be revealed only at the time of the launch, the following are the variant-wise new features of the forthcoming hatchback:

It is to be noted that along with its own new features, the VX variant has all the added elements of the V variant as well.

When launched, the 2020 Honda Jazz BS6 will lock horns with the likes of Maruti Baleno and Hyundai i20. Honda’s new premium hatchback is expected to have a starting price of around INR 8 lakh (ex-showroom).

In terms of styling, the 2020 Honda Jazz will retain largely a familiar design. Honda has confirmed though that the update will bring along a newly-designed black grille accentuated by chrome accents. To compliment the grille, the 2020 Honda Jazz will even feature updated front and rear bumper styling. What will also be updated is the car’s lighting package. The 2020 Honda Jazz gets new LED headlights with an updated LED glow pattern, LED fog lights and new LED tail lamps with a signature glow pattern. For its interior package, the 2020 Honda Jazz get subtle new upgrades to widen its appeal.

The 2020 Honda Jazz will even be the only model in its class that will offer ‘dual mode’ steering-mounted paddle-shifters.

One of the biggest changes to updated Honda Jazz can be found under the hood. The 1.2-litre NA i-VTEC petrol engine has been updated and is now BS-6 compliant. However, the outgoing version's diesel unit has been discontinued due to its poor demand and high upgradation costs. While the engine is cleaner and more refined, it retains the similar output to that of the BS4 version i.e. 90bhp and 110Nm of torque. For transmission choices, Honda is offering customers the option of a 5-speed manual and a CVT. Apart from the Honda Jazz, the company has few new models in the pipeline. The first will be a petrol-electric hybrid based on the Jazz or fifth-gen City and the second is the Honda H-RV. Which, if approved for India, will sit between the W-RV and C-RV.

Stay tuned to IndianAutosBlog.com for more Honda updates and other four-wheeler news.

The latest development has been confirmed by Rajesh Goel, Senior VP (Marketing & Sales), Honda (India). Explaining why the company is discontinuing the Honda Jazz diesel in India, Goel said: “During 2019-20, HCIL’s overall sales contribution was almost 80 percent from petrol and 20 percent from diesel, but this trend differed in each of the product segments.”

The MY2020 update will be the second facelift for the Mk3 Honda Jazz in India. Internationally, the same design was introduced with the first (and the only) facelift in mid-2017. Many of these markets have already moved to the fourth-gen Honda Jazz, which has been ruled out for India.

The 2020 Honda Jazz facelift will feature a more dynamic front bumper, revised upper grille, LED headlamps and a more upright Honda logo at the front. The alloy wheels will be the same 15-inch ones of the old car.

Under the hood, the 2020 Honda Jazz will have a revised, BS6 1.2-litre i-VTEC SOHC naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine. The BS4 version produces 90 PS at 6,000 rpm and 110 Nm of torque at 4,800 rpm. It returns a fuel economy of 18.2 km/l (with 5-speed MT)/19.0 km/l (with CVT). The maximum power and maximum torque of the BS6 version should be the same. The fuel economy rating could be different.

The new Honda Jazz India is about to get was released internationally in mid-2017. Yes, this has been the facelifted Mk3 Honda Jazz for international markets for nearly three years now. In India, sadly, the facelifted Mk3 Honda Jazz launched in mid-2018 was the same old model with just one design change - LED tail light. It will be only now, in mid-2020, that we will get the actual facelifted Mk3 Honda Jazz that has been plying on the streets of other markets for nearly three years now.

The teaser image reveals that the second facelift for the Mk3 Honda Jazz in India will bring the changes that were introduced in the Mk3 Honda Jazz internationally with the first (and the only) facelift internationally in mid-2017. These will be a more dynamic front bumper, a more upright brand logo on the upper grille and LED headlamps. However, the Mk3 hatchback in our market won’t be matching the international car even after the second facelift, as it won’t be getting new alloy wheels.

The rear bumper of the once-again-facelifted Mk3 Honda Jazz in India should also be new, the same unit which the third-gen model had received internationally with the facelift in mid-2017. We don’t expect anything new inside on the design front.

The second minor model change for the previous generation Honda Jazz in India will see the 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine and the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine getting upgraded to BS6. Currently, the petrol engine produces 90 PS and 110 Nm of torque and the diesel engine develops 100 PS and 200 Nm of torque. The former was available with a 5-speed MT and a CVT, while the latter came with a 6-speed MT as standard. The maximum power and maximum torque of the engines and the transmission choices should remain unchanged.

The BS6 Jazz may not be just about an upgraded engine that is greener. That’s what the general anticipation is because of Honda teasing the car and camouflaging its test mule.

The all-new, 2020 Honda Jazz that is on sale internationally now isn’t going to be launched in India. So, the previous generation model will likely see an extended life here, and that’d mean another facelift. Lights, bumpers, grille and wheels are some of the exterior parts that usually get tweaked/replaced in case of a minor model change. Neither the teaser image nor the spy shots reveal any visual changes, and so we’ll probably have to wait until the launch to know what’s new on the design front.

The Mk3 Honda Jazz will retain both its engines in India post the BS6 upgrade. One is the 1.2-litre i-VTEC naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol unit producing 90 PS at 6,000 rpm and 110 Nm of torque at 4,800 rpm. The other engine is the 1.5-litre i-DTEC turbocharged four-cylinder diesel unit developing 100 PS at 3,600 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm.

The outputs and the maximum engine speed they’re delivered at are expected to remain unchanged post the BS6 upgrade. The same is expected for the transmission choices. The petrol engine variant buyers will likely be able to choose between a 5-speed MT and a CVT. The diesel engine variant should come with a 6-speed MT as standard.

Honda should launch the new Jazz BS6 in India by next month. The company will likely price the new model higher than the old model.

The Mk4 Honda Jazz that broke cover last year isn’t destined to India because of being too sophisticated and the existing model having failed to live up to the expectations. The Mk3 Honda Jazz’s lifecycle will probably be extended in India with another facelift. However, the teased car doesn’t seem to have any design changes. Maybe it’s packing feature revisions, then.

The BS6 Honda Jazz, like the BS4 version, should be offered with a 1.2-litre i-VTEC naturally aspirated petrol engine linked to a 5-speed MT or a CVT and a 1.5-litre i-DTEC turbocharged diesel engine matched with a 6-speed MT. These petrol and diesel engines came in the tuning of 90 PS/110 Nm and 100 PS/200 Nm respectively in the old car. The fuel economy rating of the BS4 version was 19.0 km/l (petrol-MT)/18.2 km/l (petrol-CVT)/27.3 km/l (diesel-MT).

Like the BS4 version, the BS6 version will likely be available with features like 15-inch alloy wheels, LED tail lights, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and GPS navigation, paddle shifters and cruise control.

In other news, Honda has stopped offering the Civic and CR-V with a diesel engine. The Civic and CR-V’s diesel engine was the 1.5-litre i-DTEC single-turbo unit good for 120 PS and 300 Nm. It should be reintroduced later this year after being upgraded to BS6.

Honda has discontinued the ninth-gen Accord also in India, which it used to offer in only the Hybrid variant. The company is unlikely to launch the tenth-gen Accord, which it had introduced in July 2017, in our market.

Honda offers the fourth generation Jazz in Japan in five types, namely Basic, Home, Ness, Crosstar and Luxe. All other types except Crosstar are basically just equipment lines. Crosstar is a differently styled derivative with crossover character. Think of it as developed countries' WR-V alternative.

Honda is offering plenty of options for the all-new Jazz, including 25 exterior colour choices, 5 interior colour choices and total 20 different configurations. Then, of course, there’s a rotating passenger seat (front) version for the differently-abled and the elderly as well. Available in exclusively the Basic trim and total four different configurations, it will go on sale on the 16th of this month.

Check out these features in the image gallery at the end of the story.

Honda Sensing safety suite with 11 advanced functions is standard in the new generation Jazz. Below are these functions:

1. Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)
2. False Start Prevention
3. False Backward Start Prevention
4. Short-distance Collision Mitigation Braking System
5. Pedestrian Collision Mitigation Steering System
6. Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System

The 2020 Honda Jazz measures 3,995-4,090 mm in length, 1,695-1,725 mm in width and 1,515-1,570 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,530 mm. It is available in a petrol variant and a hybrid variant. The petrol variant returns up to 24.2 km/l (JC08), while the hybrid variant’s fuel economy rating goes as high as 38.6 km/l (JC08).

The petrol variant uses the L13B 1.3-litre N/A four-cylinder engine (98 PS/118 Nm) and a CVT as standard. A 4WD system is available optionally.

The hybrid variant’s powertrain uses the LEB-H5 1.5-litre N/A four-cylinder petrol engine, an electric generator motor, an electric propulsion motor, a Lithium-ion battery and a fixed-gear transmission via an intelligent power control unit. A 4WD system is optionally available in the hybrid variant as well.

The engine produces 98 PS and 127 Nm of torque. The electric propulsion motor generates 109 PS and 253 Nm of torque. The single fixed-gear ratio transmission is more compact than a planetary eCVT that is common in hybrid vehicles. It creates a direct connection between the moving components, leading to a smoother transfer of torque and a linear feel during acceleration.
