The application of Honda’s ‘man
maximum, machine minimum’ design
philosophy ensures that the Jazz is a compact and highly
efficient vehicle.
A lightweight chassis employs optimised packaging solutions to
provide bestinclass space for occupants and cargo.
A lowprofile fuel tank mounted under the front seats frees up underfloor space beneath
the rear seats,
enabling the platform to accommodate
Honda’s innovative Magic Seats system.
With its long wheelbase but compact
overall footprint, the Jazz is endowed with classleading interior passenger space:
leg, shoulder and headroom in the front and rear are unrivalled in the segment.
Furthermore, the Magic Seats in the rear of the Jazz – which split 60:40 – can adopt numerous configurations across four modes to maximise the versatility of the spacious interior.
Utility mode – the rear seat back folds forward as the
seat base itself lowers into the rear passenger footwell, creating a 1,505 mmlong flat floor.
Tall mode – the front of the rear seat base rises up
and back and is locked in a vertical position to leave a cargo height of 1,280 mm from floor to ceiling, allowing tall
objects to be placed behind the front seats.
Long mode – the front passenger seat back folds back to a horizontal position, while the rear seat back folds forward, forming a ‘
tunnel’ to accommodate items up to
2,480 mm long.
Refresh mode – the front seat back reclines to a flat
position meeting the rear seat base to create a 1,580 mmlong ‘couch’, enabling occupants to sit in the rear and literally put their feet up after a long journey.
