Generations

Honda originally released the Jazz to the UK market as a 2001 model and has continued updating the design ever since. Now in its fourth generation, the Jazz is more practical and technologically advanced than ever before.

Mk4 (2020-present)

With the fourth-generation Jazz, you will only find hybrid variants on the used market. The brand-new Crosstar model also added a better suspension, a water-repellant interior and a rugged body for increased practicality and a dose of SUV-inspired style. Across the lineup, an automatic CVT gearbox also became standard.

The powertrain changes led to the most efficient Jazz yet, and ensured it remained in line with or ahead of the competition. Across the lineup, the newest generation also features the most high-tech interior, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and more connectivity options.

Mk3 (2015-2020)

The sole powertrain at the start of this lineup was a 1.3-litre petrol. A new CVT was introduced to provide more efficiency. The wheelbase also became longer, allowing for more interior room.

In 2018, Honda released a mild facelift with some updated style. It also saw the launch of the desirable the Sport model, which added the upgraded 1.5-litre petrol engine that had increased power and torque.

Mk2 (2008-2015)

The second generation didn't offer huge changes over the earlier models. It carried over the 1.2- and 1.4-litre engines from before, yet Honda replaced the CVT to include an automated manual instead. The Jazz also grew slightly wider and longer, giving more shoulder and leg room.

In 2010, Honda brought a hybrid variant to market. It contained a 1.3-litre engine but was more efficient than before, with a rating of 63mpg. The hybrid version was not particularly popular (thanks to a higher price), which is why they are rare on the used market.
