2018 Honda Jazz on sale in Australia

The facelifted 2018 Honda Jazz is now on sale in Australia, with a lightly revised exterior matched to a mildly updated interior.

The Japanese light-car range remains a three-tier offering, with the entry-level Honda Jazz VTi joined by a mid-spec VTi-S and a flagship VTi-L.

All powered by the same 88kW/145Nm 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine as before, a five-speed manual is again only available on the base VTi, with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) the exclusive option on the VTi-S and VTi-L – the latter coming standard with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

New-look bi-LED headlights, LED daytime running lights (for VTi-L), and LED tail-lights headline the 2018 revisions, along with new 16-inch alloy wheels (for VTi-S and VTi-L).

Inside, there’s also a new 7.0-inch central colour touchscreen, home to both satellite navigation (on VTi-S and VTi-L only) and the display for the rear-view camera.

A new Phoenix Orange colour has been added to the colour palette, along with Crystal Black, with Rally Red, Brilliant Sporty Blue, Modern Steel, Lunar Silver, and White Orchid all carrying over. Vivid Sky Blue and Attract Yellow appear to have been dropped from the list of available colours.
