Honda's new 1.5 litre Diesel i-DTEC
engine combined with the Jazz's new edgy Euro Civic type looks, it is all set
to take the Indian market by storm. Honda has to ensure they price the Jazz
well.
To keep the Jazz competitively priced,
Honda will produce it at its Tapukara plant with a high percent of
localisation. And since the new Jazz will share its platform with the new City
(to be unveiled this month), economies of scale will further help keeping costs
in check.
The New Jazz will also feature a 1.2 litre i-Vtec petrol engine like the one featured in the Brio. Expect the Jazz to come very highly equipped in terms of features with a lot of shared components to the newly launched Honda City.
