The fourth generation of the model. The car premiered (as the Honda Fit) at the Tokyo Motor Show on 23 October 2019.
While retaining the recognisable silhouette of the single-volume, the fourth-generation Honda Jazz still gained a host of changes to the exterior. The completely redesigned front end features oversized headlamps with semicircles of diode parking lights and concise black inserts on the front bumper that hide the fog lights (optional).
The front pillars are now half the length, improving visibility. The profile is distinguished by a raised window line that intersects with the rear optics. The latter (in contrast to the previous generation) is designed in the form of horizontal blocks. The main design feature of this generation is smooth lines and soft transitions instead of sharp stampings on the body panels.
The interior also received a completely revised design.
The front panel looks more voluminous due to the protruding soft inserts. The dashboard has got a display instead of wells with scales. The steering wheel received a two-spoke design with white inserts. In the centre (above) is located a 9-inch (in standard - 5-inch) multimedia touchscreen display and (below) classic climate control unit with three rotary knobs. The centre tunnel is positioned fairly low, giving the impression of extra space.
The back row, as before, can be transformed using Magic Seats technology:
the sofa not only folds down into a flat floor, it can also be raised to carry tall, vertical loads behind the backs of the front seats (thanks to the location of the gas tank under the front seats). With a total length of hatcha in 4044 mm and the size of the wheelbase of 2517 mm in the luggage compartment managed to allocate 304 liters (according to VDA); with folded back sofa the figure is 1205 liters (to the ceiling).
Intelligent Multi Mode Drive (due to which the Honda nameplate is surrounded by a blue halo) is offered for the European versions.
It is a hybrid based on a 1.5-liter atmospheric engine with 97 horsepower and 131 Nm of torque, working on Atkinson cycle. It recharges the battery, which is charged by the electric motor and it's this that mostly transfers the thrust to the front axle. At around 80km/h, though, the clutch closes and the internal combustion engine "spins" the wheels directly. Due to this hybrid power plant, Honda Jazz exchanges a first "hundred" for 9.4 seconds.
