The Jazz VTi-L puts a little race-inspired fun into even the most routine trip with sporty paddle shifters.

Honda’s engineers have focused on creating a greener powerhouse with a performance so much greater than its size would indicate. That’s how it’s possible to gain 88kW of power and a surprising 145Nm of torque from a 1.5L, 4-cylinder engine. Not just any old engine, but Honda’s legendary SOHC i-VTEC.

How eco is your driving? It’s about to get a lot better thanks to the Eco Assist coaching system. Fuel-saving behaviors such as smooth acceleration and braking make the speedometer glow green while aggressive starts and stops that consume extra fuel will see it glow blue. Like magic, you’ll be saving money on your fuel bill without a second thought.

Lock in your perfect cruising speed and the Jazz will do the rest. Not only will it make your trip a breeze, it will optimise your fuel economy.

With two front tweeters and four speakers, the sound system in the VTi-L packs quite a punch. What better way to set the tone for the road trip ahead?

With Bluetooth^® phone connectivity^° you can make and receive calls, browse contacts and view your latest call history. Accessing your music library is just as easy with USB connectivity and Bluetooth^® audio streaming^°. Select your favourite track right there on the central touchscreen, or use the steering wheel-mounted controls.

^°Requires compatible Bluetooth device. Compatibility and functionality will vary depending on the device. The Bluetooth word mark is owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and use of such mark by Honda is under licence.

Once inside you need only push the START button while pressing the brake pedal to start the engine. VTi‐L models only.

When reversing from a tricky spot nothing should be left to the imagination. So the moment you put the Jazz in reverse, its multi angle reversing camera activates on your central display screen. Choose from three modes: normal view, top-down view, or 180° wide angle for superior visibility.

Slip in or out of tight spots with ease thanks to reverse parking sensors, standard on the VTi-L. These sound a helpful alert to let you know how much space exists between you and the nearest object.

Reverse parking sensors standard on VTi-L only. Rear parking sensors are available as an accessory option for VTi and VTi-S at additional cost

This technology helps keep the Jazz safely on course in adverse driving conditions by detecting, then mitigating, potential understeer or oversteer. When necessary, VSA automatically reduces engine power and manages brake pressure to individual wheels to help regain control.

Hill Start Assist prevents ‘roll back’ when starting on an incline. The system controls brake pressure, keeping the car stationary for a moment after you release the brake pedal.

If an emergency situation forces you to brake heavily, drivers behind you need as much warning as possible. ESS does just that, automatically flashing the hazard lights in the event of hard braking to reduce the chance of a rear-end collision.

Jazz features a suite of airbags that help keep you and your passengers safe in the event of a collision with dual-front, dual-side and full-length curtain airbags as standard.

In the event of a collision, the seatback springs are optimised so that the seat will more equally absorb the occupant’s impact, in a manner that can minimise the severity of a whiplash injury.

The Jazz comes armed with ABS for superior stopping power. When emergency braking is detected, Brake Assist applies maximum braking pressure whilst Electronic Brake-force Distribution monitors and adjusts the brake force applied to each wheel for greater control and stability.

Feel as safe going backwards as you do going forwards thanks to a multi-angle reversing camera. With normal view, top-down view and a special wide view, you’ll always be covered.
