Would you want to see this Jazz on Philippine roads?  

Honda is a brand known for applying sporty design cues, especially to its current model lineup. The Civic, Brio, and even the Mobilio are great examples of Honda’s design direction in making its vehicles look sporty. In addition, the Jazz is a good representation of a sporty hatchback that comes with a relatively affordable price tag.

This is why when the fourth-generation Honda Jazz came out, people were up in arms about it. Since the first-generation Jazz, the hatchback has always been consistent with the sporty design approach. Some say that it took out the muscular details and made it look cuter.

With that being said, Honda agreed with all the sentiments being thrown at the fourth-generation Jazz and made some changes to it to make the hatchback more appealing to the people. The new Jazz is revamped by GAC Honda, one of Honda’s joint ventures in China, and is called the Fit Sport.

For the front-end design, the all-new Honda Jazz 2021, or Fit Sport, gets a new bumper with more aggressive-looking faux scoops. The no-grille design of the Jazz has also been replaced with a mesh-type grille. The Chinese version is also getting the Crosstar variant, but no significant changes have been made.

While for the interior, the Chinese Fit Sport kept most of the interior features of the Japan-spec Jazz such as the all-digital instrumentation, floating infotainment system, and two-spoke steering wheel. The only added feature is the new color scheme, namely the neon green highlights.

In 2019, the Honda Jazz is the sixth most sold Honda car in the Philippines – just behind the CR-V. With the design changes now in metal, we would definitely like to see this Jazz brought to the country.
