Thoughts On The 2018 Honda Jazz Facelift

Honda has introduced the 2018 Jazz facelift in India with subtle updates to the hatchback. The new Jazz does not get any changes to the design or mechanical components and only gets few new equipments. It is disappointing that Honda did not introduce the globally sold Jazz facelift in India. The Honda Jazz locks horns with the likes of Maruti Baleno and Hyundai i20.
