For past a couple of years, Honda hasn't had a right contender in the premium hatchback segment, as the company phased out the highly acclaimed but overpriced and slow-selling Jazz. With the new Jazz, Honda wants to increase sales into the even more premium territory. The new model seems larger and more upmarket than the previous one. Based on an all-new platform, the new Jazz has a striking similarity with the last generation car and carries the same cab-forward design philosophy. What went wrong with the previous model was the lack of a diesel powertrain and high pricing, but with the new model it seems like Honda has addressed these two issues. Now, the new Jazz is available in diesel and is likely to be priced competitive, thanks to use of local components.
