Honda To Release New Jazz In Japan
19th October, 2007 | |||
|
Honda will release the Honda Fit (known as Jazz in Australia) in Japan on next Friday, 26th October, 2007. The tiny car retains its 'characteristics' – such as economy and easy manoeuvrability – yet has been brought up-to-date with some subtle design changes to make it more competitive amongst the class leaders. Two engines will be available on the new car in its domestic market, a 1.5-litre i-VTEC and 1.3-litre i-VTEC. CVT transmission is also available. In the chassis, a longer wheelbase and wider track offer better stability, manoeuvrability and handling. Honda Fit was first introduced in Japan in June 2001. It is now being produced in six factories in five countries and sold in approximately 115 countries around the world. Cumulatively, sales of Fit and Jazz exceed two million units. A rotating passenger seat is available on the Japanese car which takes advantage of the Fit’s access. The seat has a higher position than previously, has additional foot space and features a specially contoured seat cushion. The seat enables easy loading and unloading of a wheelchair through the rear seats. A new Jazz for the Australian market will go on sale late in 2008. No details of the local car have been announced as yet. | ||||
