Honda launches face-lifted Jazz

[abhijit_reddevil]

Now available at a offer price of Rs 5.5 lakhs for the base Jazz S model, the new Jazz is now no longer an out of budget 'hot hatch'in India

Now the pricing is good for an already excellent car. It will give serious competition in the segment.

Well I still consider the pricing high considering its a Petrol car

Diesel hatches are comfortably available at that price

Thinking of getting the new Jazz...!

^^ not catchy in terms of looks...

Considering their design of this particular car, as well as specifications, I would obviously say that its a bit overpriced. But, their brand name may just save them in this case(i.e. new model).

If you are ok with the price of Petrol(which I think you are as you want to buy this car,) then you can get it
I have heard from relatives that this car is very reliable and doesnt break down very often.

Jazz is good , its like premium hatchback but certainly looking at other options, its not a good deal !

This year car sales is less thn 20% and I am sure if you wait sometime till Diwali, car manufacturers would bring exciting offers.

Does this come in a diesel version ?

Going by current petrol prices, it makes absolutely no sense to go for a car that's not diesel or CNG or LPG unless you are a govt employee who gets reimbursement on his/her fuel bills which is fixed to 'x' litres.

This is also the reason why the Nano didn't get as big a response as it should have. Indica eV2 seems much better a car to buy than the Nano for fuel conscious entry level hatchback buyers.

A simple answer-


No Honda car in India is available in Diesel

Remember reading somewhere about a proposed City Diesel launch in a year or two. Though I guess in that much time the Verna would've absorbed half the market honda was hoping to target

Well, Honda just donot try to understand the potential of a Diesel Honda City. The Petrol car even after being a fuel guzzler sells like Hot Cakes. The potential of a Diesel Honda City is very good. They need to price it sensibly.

well there days every other sedan I see in the streets is the Verna. I am guessing it sells very well in most parts of the country. The only trump card it holds is a Diesel engine.

If so, then deterioration in quality might be a factor.



P.S. digit forum is damn slow today.

There are more reasons than just that actually. The fact that you have a Hyundai or a Maruti automatically increases its resale value thanks to the two being the car companies with the best brand reputation.

Anyway, with a proposed 2013-2014 launch date for the new diesel engine I think it will come in the next honda city refresh. It should be a very good car by then

PS: Offtopic - I've seen people having no idea of difference between "Honda" and "Hyundai". They pronounce them the same way and think the italic H is just a different handwriting of normal H.

Well I donot know he you have noticed it but Hyundai cars have far far better finish than Maruti cars. The overall quality feels superior in many ways.

It will be way too late by then. Too late.
