Honda celebrates half a million Jazz sales in Europe

Honda celebrates half a million Jazz sales in Europe

The Honda Jazz steals our spotlight since it goes on sale next month in India. Reports pertaining to the Jazz’s cost have severed buying hopes fueled controversy, and yet again we are posting a figure, which isn’t its price tag.

In the international arena, the Honda Jazz hasn’t put a foot wrong. 500,000 cars have been sold in Europe alone since the arrival back in 2002. The supermini has 335 liters of boot space that is comparable to sedans of the same price range, and offers interior room that is comparable to cars on the bigger side in India.

A major slice of its success is attributed to its space and comfort. The Honda Jazz is credited with B-segment size, value and frugality combined with C-segment passenger space and boot capacity. In the recent crash test evaluation, the Jazz scored the maximum five stars, which signified its crashworthiness.

It is a ballsy daring move by Honda to drive a hatchback into the Indian market and price it above all the existing hatches including its classmates. The Jazz mounts on the new City’s platform and a tailor-made 1.2-liter petrol engine for Indian customers sits under the bonnet.

The Tata Indica’s success is often traced back to its unbeatable comfort/space combination. But another factor that helped the Indica take off was its price advantage, which operates against the Jazz.

What do ya think?

An all-new Honda small car for the Indian masses in the works

ET reports Honda’ new small car for India would be positioned at a price point below the Jazz, in the scope of the Hyundai i20, Tata Indica Vista and Chevrolet Aveo U-VA. If you have been tuning into IAB regularly, you should have read about it a long time back.

Honda was incapable of bringing down the price of the Jazz which it hopes to launch next month, any further and could have reached this decision.

The new Honda small car will have an intense level of localization. Honda engineers will work closely with suppliers in bringing the cost down. A team of 25 headed by a Japanese official will begin work on everything from manufacturing to purchase. Honda might use its Rajasthan facility which is currently work in progress to produce upto 250,000 units per annum when fully functional.

Special Report- Honda and Bajaj Superbikes in India shortly

Eying a big potential for luxury bikes in India, where tastes are changing from mass-market machines to high-end bikes, Honda and Bajaj are looking at launching new sportsbikes in the country in the next couple of months.

There had been a sudden surge in the number of International Sportsbikes brands entering the Indian market, over the past two years. Initially the trend was set by Kinetic with the launch of the 250cc, v-twin-powered Hyosung Comet in India back in 2005. Then it was Yamaha, which launched the Yamaha R1 in India and the MT-01 cruiser in 2007. Soon later followed by the Italian motorcycle giant Ducati, who launched an array of superbikes costing up to almost 50 lakhs, and finally Suzuki joined the troop in late-2008, with its Hayabusa superbike and the Intruder cruiser.

More Information on Honda entry level car- A-Star and i10, get ready

Japanese Auto Major Honda has not had the best of time in the past few months. Thanks to a sharp drop in global sales and the frustrating economic slump, Honda had to call it a day on it’s supercar project and painfully had to pull the Formula 1 plug.

So what does one do to get out of this mess? Naturally build cars that will sell in larger numbers and will have a wider reach. Honda earlier announced that it will make an entry level car for India, but that was just about what it said.
