What's the news?
Honda has announced pricing for the all-new Jazz and HR-V with both models arriving at dealers this October. The Jazz starts at €17,395 while the HR-V is available from €23,995.
The new Jazz is slightly larger than its predecessor with increased interior space and retains the Magic Seat system for maximum load-space versatility. There are three trim levels - entry-level SE, mid-range ES and top-grade EX. All models come with air conditioning, automatic head lamps and Honda's City-Brake Active system.
ES models - priced from €19,345 - add parking sensors, 15-inch alloy wheels plus electrically folded and heated door mirrors. The EX (from €20,400) can be recognised by its 16-inch alloys, privacy glass and front fog lamps. It also features climate control, a rear parking camera and smart entry and start. ES and EX models come with an Android-based infotainment system with a seven-inch touchscreen; Garmin integrated satellite navigation is available as an option. The top two models also feature Honda's Dynamic Safety Pack with radar sensors plus cameras; this provides features including collision warning, lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition.
The HR-V features the same grade structure as the Jazz, with ES and EX models priced from €26,595 and €30,895 respectively. Entry-level SE versions come with alloy wheels, climate control and the City-Brake Active system. ES models add the Dynamic Safety Pack, Honda Connect infotainment system and 17-inch wheels. For the EX there is a panoramic glass sunroof, satellite navigation and a leather interior.
