Honda to launch third-generation Jazz on 8th of July

Honda Cars India will launch the much-awaited third-generation premium hatchback Jazz in India on July 8, people familiar with the matter told ETAuto. The carmaker has already started adjusting production schedule to accommodate the model. ETAuto had reported in December that the carmaker would bring back the Jazz in July.

Jazz will take on the popular Hyundai i20, which has been selling around 10,000 units a month and has a long waiting period. The car will come with both diesel and petrol engine options - it will carry the same 1.5 litre i-DTEC and 1.litre i-VTEC engines fitted in Honda's compact Amaze sedan.

"Stockyard in Greater Noida having a capacity of 5,500 units is packed with Mobilio and Amaze as there is a slide in demand for these two models ... Some of these cars have also been shifted to Tapukara plant," a company source told ETAuto. The source said at least 7,000-8,000 units of the two car models were lying at both the plants.

"This is an exercise to create production capacity for the upcoming model Jazz and also compensate summer production shutdown coming up this month," said Jnaneswar Sen, senior vice president for sales and marketing at Honda Cars India.
