Honda has revealed the 2027 Jazz facelift (sold as the Fit in Japan) to celebrate the hatchback’s 25th anniversary. The Jazz was first introduced in 2001 and remains a popular small car in several global markets. While Honda discontinued the Jazz in India in 2023, the model continues to receive updates overseas. The latest facelift mainly focuses on styling improvements and feature updates, helping the hatchback stay fresh in a highly competitive segment.
The Z trim continues to use 15-inch alloy wheels and does not receive the RS model’s sport-tuned suspension. Inside, Honda has added a new three-spoke leather steering wheel, heated seats, and an acoustic front windshield for improved cabin comfort and reduced noise levels.
The RS variant remains the sportiest version in the lineup. It gets a larger rear spoiler, side skirts, lowered suspension, and a bigger tailpipe. Honda has also slightly updated the finish of the 16-inch alloy wheels. The cabin features a black headliner, suede and leather upholstery, and red stitching for a sportier feel.
The e: HEV system produces a combined output of 121 bhp and 253 Nm of torque. It can also run on electric power for short distances, helping improve fuel efficiency.
In Japan, prices for the 2027 Honda Jazz start at JPY 1,806,200 (around Rs 10.64 lakh). The top-end Crosstar e: HEV 4WD is priced at JPY 2,955,700 (around Rs 17.4 lakh). Honda currently has no plans to bring the Jazz back to the Indian market, making the facelift an international-market update only.
