Honda introduced the new version of the Jazz in India in 2015 and soon after the launch, the hatchback was selling in good numbers. But gradually, the sales started to drop as the Jazz faced a tough competition from its rivals such as Maruti Baleno and Hyundai i20.
In 2017, Honda managed to sell just 29,890 units of the Jazz which is nowhere near as compared to its competitors. So, due to the poor demand for the Jazz in India, Honda has finally decided to not to bring the facelifted avatar of the premium hatchback to one of the fastest growing automotive markets in the world.
Currently, the Honda Jazz is offered in both petrol and diesel variants. Powering the hatchback is a 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine. The petrol unit is mated to a 5-speed manual or a CVT gearbox. The diesel engine is paired to a 6-speed transmission.
