Team-bhpian Spots possible new Honda City.
Yes now that the jazz has been launched in thailand news is that honda is all set for the world premiere of the all new honda city in august 2008 in thailand.
The jazz which shares the same platform with the honda city now gets a i-vtec engine something which will also make it to the indian markets.Honda will replace the present 1.5L vtec with 1.5L i-vtec engines.I cannot say how much Honda will cut down on power in India in order to compensate for fuel efficiency and indian fuel.But right now the tech specs are very impresive.
120ps@6600rpm and torque is 148Nm @4800rpm. What is also not know is whether honda will replace the present i-dsi engines with the new 1.3L i-vtec engines which are also pretty impressive at 100ps.Or if honda only bring in the 1.3L i-vtec to india.Many engine combinations are possible and I am not in a postion to predict which one we will get in India.The wheelbase is increased further in the new jazz which means the interiors would get even more spacious in the all new honda city.
While right now it would be exported to australia,malaysia and phillipines,it will come to our markets a little later since it would be manufactured here as well.
Regarding the new Honda city it could be here in India by the year end and going by the interiors of the new jazz honda civic owners are going to feel a bit shortchanged.
Noticed from the pictures of the jazz,the all new Honda city is going to get huge quarter glasses up front like the suzuki sx4.
