Honda Malaysia said that it will ensure that production meets the delivery timeline for Jazz Petrol and Hybrid with a 1 month of waiting period without compromising on its quality.

The updated Jazz is powered by Honda's proven 1.5-litre SOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine that does 120 PS and 145 Nm, sent to the front wheels via Honda's Earth Dreams CVT-type automatic. 

As for the Hybrid, power comes from a 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine that does 110 PS and 134 Nm, while the electric motor adds another 30 PS and 160 Nm. Combined system output is up to 137 PS, similar to a naturally-aspirated 1.8-litre engine.

Customers are welcome to visit Honda dealers in every state to experience and test drive Honda’s New Jazz Hybrid for themselves from the third week of July.
