Honda Jazz Vs Hyundai Elite i20: Which Hot Hatch Is Hotter?
One of the most awaited launches this year was the new Honda Jazz. This hot hatch from the Japanese carmaker was a much anticipated launch for both the company as well as customers.
So, coming to practicality, is Honda trying to make a stand in this segment where it is being dominated by other carmakers? Honda had done this earlier with the Jazz and failed to make an impression, while in recent times, the Hyundai Elite i20 wears the crown of hot hatches.
Now what happens when the newcomer, the Jazz takes on the king of hot hatches, the Elite i20? Does Honda have the magic, or is the i20 a little too far out of reach? Let's find out!

Safety:
On the safety front, both cars feature dual front airbags, ABS, EBD and rear parking assist, but in different forms. The Jazz is also equipped with a seat belt pre tensioner with load limiter and windows with pinch guard that will protect one's hands and neck so that one wouldn't end up with a chopped finger (ouch!).
Verdict:
So how does the new Honda Jazz fare against the Hyundai Elite i20? Well, with flying colours. The Jazz looks better, offers more interior space, is equipped with a more powerful engine that should offer better mileage, has more safety features and is also priced almost the same as the i20. So what would be a better, cooler, hotter value for money hatch? The Jazz, of course!
