Honda has revealed that over the years, it was the petrol variant of the Jazz that has been in strong demand and is one of the reasons why the diesel engine was discontinued. Honda also revealed that as much as 70% of the petrol buyers opted for the CVT automatic variant, thus showing that the paddle-shifters were such a huge crowd puller. The new Jazz will come in five colour options including Radiant Red Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic and Golden Brown. The Jazz continues to rival the likes of the Hyundai i20, Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Tata Altroz.
