The new Jazz or Fit (is how they call it in Japan) pictures have been leaked. Sources said that the new Jazz will have a longer base thus a slightly larger interior space compared to the current one. It will be fitted with the iVtec 1.5 liter to give it reasonable power but very economical fuel consumption.
The new Honda Jazz will be shown at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show and perhaps we might able to get more specifications on it.
I would reckon it will reach our shores sometime end of 2008 or early 2009, since it was not long ago that we had the facelifted Jazz. Soon it will be the Honda City, as it was just recently given yet another minor facelift.
When I was previously working with DRB-HICOM, I heard that normally once car manufacturers starts to do minor facelifts to their existing models, you may prepare yourself for a new model around the corner. This strategy is to try and push out its current models faster before the new one arrives. I guess its to make up the numbers before they have to discontinue that model, to have a better ROI? Hmm not exactly sure how their strategies work, but its a good example. Take the Toyota Vios for instance, it was facelifted late 06, early 2007? and now rumours have it that the new Vios will be launching soon (October maybe?)
Anyway enjoy the pictures of the new Jazz below and do let me know what do you think about it.
