There is still room for minivans. At least, that's how Honda understands. Amid the absolute dominance of crossovers, the brand is still betting on small vans and has renewed its Honda Jazz. Honda Jazz 2020 model is part of the firm's strategy on the road to electrification. So this car, besides having technological improvements, will only be available with hybrid engines.
How does it look?
The exterior of the Honda Jazz 2020
The new Honda minivan shows a modern and youthful image. Still, with striking lines as in other models of the segment. It has the distinctive design of a minivan, i.e., very steep a bonnet, a large windshield, and a high ceiling. On the front, it sports new and larger LED headlights and a small grill.
Contrary to current fashion, the Jazz 2020 lacks aesthetic elements typical of crossovers. Still, there will be a more rustic version that will have the name of Cross tour, with black plastic protections on the bottoms and wheel arches, the higher ground height of the body, bars on the ceiling, and the possibility of painting the ceiling in contrast. The Honda Jazz 2019 has fewer features than this new model.
Interior of the Honda Jazz 2020
The changes in the interior of the Honda Jazz are notable in terms of design. But not in its philosophy of making most of the space to offer a lot of habitability on board. In this regard, it promises to be one of the most spacious cars in its category. The practicality has also been greatly improved. The rear bench has folding seats that allow the loading of large objects. The dashboard boasts a simple and minimalist design, with the presence of the digital display of the multimedia system flanked by the aerators and, below, the air conditioning controls, independent of the screen. It also has small digital instrumentation and highlights the classic style steering wheel, similar to that of the Honda e.
Honda Jazz 2020 engine
The new Honda Jazz will only be available with a hybrid propulsion system. But it is not a conventional hybrid engine. This minivan premieres a mechanic composed of a gasoline engine and two electric motors, of which one works as a fuel and the other as a generator. Therefore, we are not facing a hybrid vehicle that can only circulate in electric mode for a minimal time but will have the capacity to do so with a specific autonomy.
At the moment, Honda has not offered many details of this innovative hybrid propulsion system, nor figures on power, performance, and consumption. But WapCar.my can tell you that it is a car with advanced mechanics, which offers the possibility of moving using an electric motor or combining an electric motor and a thermal motor. Nor do we have data on the battery, but it will be powered by the generator engine to, in turn, make the propulsion engine run.
Honda Jazz 2020 equipment
Nor has it transcended information about the equipment of the new Honda Jazz 2020. However, the interior has an excellent technological endowment, which includes the multimedia system with a touch screen and the digital instrument cluster, with a lot of information related to driving. There will also be information on the operation of the propulsion system and the condition of the batteries. As for connectivity, it will not be compatible with Apple Carl play or Android Auto, at least for now.
As it cannot be otherwise, the small minivan of Honda comes equipped with numerous assistance to driving and safety systems.
Honda Jazz Debut
The Honda Jazz made its debut at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show to great acclaim.
