Inovev expects 400,000 units per year from the new Honda Jazz
- At the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, Honda presented the new generation of Jazz (B-segment sedan) called Fit in Japan. This model will be available again in hybrid engines in all markets.
- The new model takes the engine of the recent Honda Insight, before being installed soon under the hoods of Civic and HRV. The new Jazz will paradoxically compete with the Honda e 100% electric (segment B sedan) that the Japanese manufacturer intends to launch in 2020, at the same time as the Jazz.
- Given the limited distribution of Honda on the European market, all Jazz should now be imported from Japan, as the Civic from 2021-2022. On the other hand, Jazz production is expected to continue in China, Brazil, Mexico, and India for local markets. Note that in 2018, there has been as much Jazz in China as in Japan.
- The evolution of global production of the Honda Jazz has shown a marked decline since 2016, which has accelerated the renewal of the model whose style becomes more conventional and more consensual.
- The new Honda Jazz is expected to take over the older generation Atkinson i-VTEC atmospheric 1.5 petrol engine, which will be available in hybrid form, as its direct competitor, the Toyota Yaris IV (called Vitz in Japan) presented at the same show. of Tokyo. Inovev expects 400,000 units per year produced in the world of New Jazz including 150,000 to 200,000 units produced at the only Japanese Yorii site.
