Even though it has been euthanized in Indonesia and several other countries, the Honda Jazz is in fact still popular in Europe. Evidently, Honda Europe recently released a refreshed version of this city car from Japan.
In terms of design, the appearance of the European Honda Jazz looks cute and far from the last generation of Jazz models that were once popular in Indonesia.

In this facelift version, the Jazz still carries the front fascia that is typical of the last generation Jazz. The main light model is still the same, but the grille and bumper are made more sporty.
“Front and rear bumpers that are more sculpted are complemented by a textured underside to give the Jazz a more purposeful appearance,” wrote Honda Europe in its official release.
Apart from that, the legs sector was also refreshed by Honda. This can be seen from the use of new rim designs and no longer using additional plastic parts like in the model before the facelift.
In the tough version, aka Jazz Crosstar, Honda also provides quite refreshing changes in terms of design. In addition to the grille and bumper that match the usual version, the Honda Jazz Crosstar also gets design changes to the underbody protection and skirts.
Honda also presents a new color for the Jazz Crosstar, which is bluish gray or what they call Fjord Mist Blue. Then in terms of interior color changes also occur in several parts.

Interestingly, the facelift version of the Honda Jazz is actually focused on the engine sector and its power distribution. Honda brings the latest generation of e: HEV to this car.
“Revisions to all aspects of the e:HEV system have improved efficiency, rideability and output,” wrote Honda.
The electric motor that helps the hybrid engine from Jazz increases its power by 14 PS and makes it get a total power of up to 122 PS. In addition, the motor generator is also claimed to increase by around 10.8 PS which makes this system peak up to 106 PS.
The fossil fuel engine also increases in performance. The Jazz, which has a 1,500 cc engine, is claimed to have increased its power output by 9.5 PS and now has a maximum power of up to 107 PS.

Honda also provided revisions and improvements to the transmission sector. This is claimed to make the feeling of driving smoother and more interesting.
“Linear shift control has been revised to give the petrol engine a new higher shift point, which is 6,300 RPM,” wrote Honda.
The latest model from the Honda Jazz is planned to go on sale in early 2023 in the European market.
