Economic Times is reporting that the Honda Jazz, which will be launched in the country next month, will be priced at 6.5-6.8 lakh rupees. Obviously, the pricing quoted above stands for the base model and the bells and whistles version will cost miserably substantially more.

The Honda Jazz is a voluminous hatchback, if I have to describe it. It will initially come only with a 1.2-liter 90PS petrol engine. The diesel model isn’t viable since it will cost quite a lot over the petrols pushing it beyond the Indian hatch buyers’ budget.

I still cannot see where Honda is going with this model. How many of us are willing to buy a hatchback for 7-lakh rupees and more? I agree that Honda’s cars share common veins which are best quality, unmatched performance, looks and comfort, but at 7-lakh rupees, all that takes the back seat.
