Bassetts Honda: New and Used Honda Dealership in Swansea

The Honda Jazz now comes with a choice of two great i-VTEC engines: The economical and proven 1.3 litre is complemented by an all-new 1.5 – and you’ll find it under the bonnet of the latest Sport grade. It’s a really energetic engine that’s perfect for zipping around town or for pushing on beyond the city limits – we call it fun-injection.

GET UP AND GO

We take the fun of driving seriously.

1.3 i-VTEC Manual Gearbox

Economical and efficient, the punchy 1.3 i-VTEC petrol engine features a responsive 6-speed manual transmission, and produces 102PS and 123 Nm of torque.

The outstanding levels of performance are combined with low CO2 emissions, ranging between 106 and 114 g/km

Superb fuel economy with CO2 emissions between 116 and 120 g/km, it's as frugal as it is enjoyable

1.5 i-VTEC Manual Gearbox

Eager and energetic, the 1.5 i-VTEC petrol engine is made for fun. It produces 130PS and 155Nm of torque and features a close-ratio, 6-speed manual transmission.

Top performance with CO2 emissions of 133 g/km, it’s a super efficient car to drive.

1.5 i-VTEC Automatic Gearbox

The responsive 1.5 i-VTEC engine is available with CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that combines the ease of an automatic with enjoyable performance and smooth power delivery.

With CO2 emissions of 124 g/km, it’s efficient as well as being easy to drive.

The new Jazz is available with a 1.5

litre

iVTEC petrol engine for the first time in Europe. Combining a high output with low fuelconsumption, the engine produces

130 PS (96 kW) at 6,600 rpm and maximum torque of 155 Nm at 4,600 rpm.

Honda’s 1.5 iVTEC

petrol engine complies with stringent Euro 6 emissions standards, and achieves fuel economy of 52.3 mpg and CO2 emissions from 124g/km – when equipped with the optional CVT automatic transmission.

The new Jazz can accelerate from

0 to 62 mph in 8.7 seconds (manual)

and

10.0 seconds (CVT).

The CVT system itself has been

revised to deliver a more linear and refined response under acceleration.

Honda’s VTEC (Variable Timing and

Lift Electronic Control) and VTC

(Variable Timing Control) technologies combine with

direct injection,

strong tumble intake ports and an optimised piston shape to provide

benefits in output and efficiency.

Weight savings within the

1.5 iVTEC are made through a

reduction in weight of the crankshaft and the adoption of independent bearing caps.

A 102 PS (75 kW) 1.3 i-VTEC petrol

engine will also continue to be

available across all Jazz trim levels,

apart from the new Sport grade.

Maximum torque is 123 Nm at 5,000 rpm.

For both petrol engines, two specific

control programmes for the CVT

transmission provide situationspecific assistance for the driver:

Early Downshift During Braking (EDDB) and the ‘Fast Off’ system.

Early Downshift During Braking

(EDDB) utilises the engine to assist

the driver during braking. When the system

recognises a deceleration, downhill,

or cornering situation initiated by the braking system,

EDDB automatically increases the

engine speed to provide engine braking.

This then allows for quick

reacceleration after slowing or quick acceleration after cornering.

The ‘Fast Off’ system measures how

quickly the driver releases the

accelerator pedal and maintains engine revs to provide

engine braking in situations where

the driver has released the pedal quickly.

This system has been extensively

tested for Europe’s high speed,

multilane roads.

For example, Fast Off recognises

when the driver has prepared to

pass a vehicle in front, but is unable to

complete the manoeuvre due to a

vehicle in the next lane. As the driver quickly releases the

accelerator pedal to let the vehicle behind pass by, Fast Off maintains a high engine speed in preparation for completing the

overtaking manoeuvre.

The CVT gearbox allows the engine to operate within its most efficient

range more of the time, by continuously varying the

gear ratio instead of adjusting the

engine throttle opening. Automatically managed by the engine management system, the CVT

gearbox selects the optimal ratio within the simulated

seven speeds depending on engine

speed, throttle position and driver input.

WAY TO GO

Automatic or manual?

A precise 6-speed manual gearbox will reward you with a spirited drive but if you prefer an automatic option, our advanced 7-speed Continuously Variable Transmission brings with it seamless gear changes, higher economy and lower emissions. You can exploit the Jazz’s sporty character by switching automatic modes and using its racing-car inspired paddle shift.

Both transmissions deliver exceptional performance and economy but the Jazz, with its Idle Stop feature, goes that little bit further. It cuts the engine when you’re waiting for the lights to change, then instantly restarts when you touch the accelerator pedal.

If you’re looking for an engaging drive, the Jazz’s 6-speed manual gearbox really delivers. If the mood takes you, the CVT Jazz can be every bit as sporty with its paddle shift feature giving you manual control to make track-style, quick changes.

With two engines sizes and two different transmissions to choose from, the Honda Jazz is at home whether in town or on the highway.

The front suspension geometry has a low

front roll centre to enhance stability, which helps the Jazz feel precise, natural and agile whencornering.

Its agility is further augmented by an electric powerassisted steering system, which delivers

accurate feedback to the driver.

The sense of agile handling combined with optimised ride composure is further

enhanced by Honda’s Agile Handling Assist (AHA)

system.

AHA is another advanced technology that enhances the dynamic stability of the car,

particularly when reacting to fast steering

inputs or high cornering loads, such as are experienced during emergency avoidance manoeuvres.

AHA operates through the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system and applies a light

braking force, imperceptible to the driver, to the

inner wheels when the steering wheel is

turned. The result is increased vehicle responsiveness and stability, and a more satisfying

driving experience.

Powerful and stable stopping power is

ensured by the fitting of an alldisc braking system featuring 262 mm ventilated front discs

and 239 mm solid discs at the rear.

Electronic aids which boost braking power and enhance

vehicle stability include: AntiLock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), VSA and Hill Start Assist (HSA).

SAFE COMBINATIONS

Regardless of its size, the Jazz is really big on safety features.

The Honda Jazz was crowned the safest supermini by independent safety organisation Euro NCAP. Having already claimed the top NCAP 5-star rating, it took the prestigious Best in Class Supermini 2015 title for outstanding safety performance. Nothing’s changed there, and there’s more.

The Jazz is full of Honda’s latest technology designed to keep you, your passengers, and other road users safe.

INTELLIGENT SAFETY

Honda’s comprehensive suite of active-safety technologies known as the ‘Advanced Driver Assist System’ is available as an option on the base model and is fitted as standard on mid and upper grades. ADAS includes: Forward Collision Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition System, Intelligent Speed Limiter, Lane Departure Warning and High-beam Support System.

Forward Collision Warning

Forward Collision Warning detects the risk of collision by recognising the vehicle (car or truck) directly in front, using the multi-purpose camera. The system operates when the car is at a speed of 9mph and above. On detecting the risk of collision, it will offer visual and audible warnings. The warning distance can be adjusted to the driver’s preferences and the system can be turned off by the driver.

Traffic Sign Recognition System

Traffic Sign Recognition System uses the multi-purpose camera to detect road signs whenever the vehicle is moving forward. The system automatically recognises and displays the signs via the i-MID once the vehicle has passed the sign.

The system is designed to detect circular road signs displaying speed limits and ‘No Passing’ information. Two road signs can be displayed at any one time – the right side of the display only shows speed limit signs while the left shows ‘No Passing’ signs and speed limits with additional information; such as weather conditions, for example.

Intelligent Speed Limiter

Intelligent Speed Limiter combines two otherwise independent safety systems – Adjustable Speed Limiter and Traffic Sign Recognition system – resulting in an advanced safety assistance feature. The Adjustable Speed Limiter system –standard on every Honda car on sale in Europe – regulates the maximum speed of the vehicle at a level set by the driver.

With Intelligent Speed Limiter activated, the maximum speed of the vehicle is automatically determined by the prevailing legal speed limit detected by the Traffic Sign Recognition system. When the vehicle passes a sign indicating a lower speed limit, the vehicle will gently and automatically slow, through a reduction in power, to a maximum speed that does not exceed the speed limit. An alert sounds and the displayed speed limit blinks if the vehicle speed exceeds the limit by 2 mph or more. The vehicle’s maximum speed – regardless of the accelerator input by the driver – will not exceed this limit. When the vehicle passes a sign indicating a higher speed limit, it will allow the driver to accelerate until the vehicle reaches the new maximum permitted speed, at which point it will prevent the vehicle from exceeding the new speed limit. The system can be turned off by the driver at any time.

Lane Departure Warning

Lane Departure Warning uses the multi-purpose camera to track lane markings on the road. If the car deviates from its current lane without indicating, Lane Departure Warning alerts the driver with audible and visual warnings. The system can be turned off by the driver.

High Beam Support System

High Beam Support System works at speeds of more than 25 mph to switch High Beam head lights on/off automatically depending on oncoming/preceding vehicles (cars, trucks and motorcycles), bicycles and environmental brightness. The system can be turned off by the driver at any time.

Traffic Sign Recognition

Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) automatically recognises road signs and displays them via the Intelligent Multi Information Display, so you always know exactly what you’ve just passed (Available on all grades except S).

City-Brake Active System

All kinds of bumps and knocks can happen in car parks or even on your own driveway. CTBA is a laser radar system that scans ahead, automatically applying the brakes if a risk of a possible collision is detected.

Lane Departure Warning

Lane Departure Warning detects the road markings. If the car strays from your current lane without indicating, the system alerts you with audible and visual warnings (Available on all grades except S).

Forward Collision Warning

Forward Collision Warning detects the vechicle in front. If the system detects the possibility of a collision, audible and visual warnings will promt you to take action (Available on all grades except S).
