Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. recently introduced the newest addition to its 2006 model line-up – the new Honda Jazz.
Launched in the Philippines in 2004, the Honda Jazz initiated a new trend in the automotive industry that gave rise to a new niche in the Philippines – the hatchback market. And with the introduction of an even more powerful Jazz VTEC model in 2005, the Honda Jazz gained more approval from the market.

| Honda Jazz | | Honda led the expansion of the hatchback market with over 3,100 units sold. Today, the Honda Jazz, a recipient of numerous awards, remains a standard setter in its class with its Euro-dynamic design, high performance engine and flexible interior layout.
With enhanced and versatile styling, Honda reinforces the new Jazz’s fun-to-drive appeal. It sports a refreshing change with its eye-catching, vibrant hues of Purplish Blue and Silverstone.
The new Honda Jazz now comes equipped with three-dimensional body color headlights that complement its vibrant personality.
These, along with the Honda Jazz’s assembly of other sporty features such as 15" alloy wheels, color keyed side protector moldings, wrap-around skirts, a high mount stop lamp, and rear center-mounted sports roof antenna, all add up to its dynamic exterior design.
The Honda Jazz delivers remarkable comfort and functionality unparalleled in its class. With its unique central fuel tank layout, the Jazz opens up to generous cabin space and flexibility in virtually all dimensions of the car, as its fuel tank is strategically shifted forward, beneath the front seats.
The Honda Jazz keeps up with an active lifestyle as it reemphasizes the convenience of space with Honda’s ingenious U.L.T. (Utility, Long and Tall modes) seat feature.
Flexible seating arrangements can be made for maximum space and function; exceptional versatility in cargo loading with up to three maximum storage size varieties to accommodate any luggage or recreational gear.
With its maximum storage size of 1,720 mm, it is generous enough to fit in a bicycle. The Long mode extends by as much as 2,400 mm – long enough to store in a surf board. And the Tall mode, with its maximum storage size of 1,280 mm in height, makes room for tall plants or furniture with ease.
Performance is never compromised in the Honda Jazz as it allows both exceptional power and fuel efficiency with its VTEC and i-DSI variants.
The 1.5-liter VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control System) engine delivers powerful performance at all engine speeds by varying the timing and lift of the valves.
The 1.3-liter i-DSI (Intelligent Dual and Sequential Ignition) engine on the other hand employs a dual spark plug system (2 spark plugs and 2 valves per cylinder) with individually controlled ignition timing to achieve rapid and complete combustion for enhanced fuel efficiency.
The Honda Jazz puts you in control of driving excitement with the Steermatic and CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) seven-speed mode controlled by a simple touch of a button on the steering wheel. Suit your driving style as you easily switch from normal, to sporty and seven-speed modes in a single, seamless system that indulges you in shiftshock-free driving pleasure.
Dual Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution System (EBD) remain as standard measures of safety in the 1.5 variants of the Honda Jazz.
The 2006 Honda Jazz lineup consists of: 1.3S manual transmission, P650,000; 1.3S CVT, P690,000; 1.5V manual transmission, P731,000; 1.5V CVT, P772,000.
