New Jazz Si Launched
« on: July 09, 2012, 08:34:37 PM »


Honda has released the limited edition Jazz Si with standard bodykit and some minor changes to the  under the skin. Based on the 1.4 i-VTEC ES manual with the usual specification (climate control, USB, etc.) but with the following enhancements:

- Bodykit
- 16" alloy wheels
- Privacy glass
- Front fog lights
- 'Si' branding
- New dampers with larger front anti-roll bar
- Modified electric power steering
- Leather steering wheel
- Black and silver upholstery
- Cruise control

A Si-T varient is available with SD navigation and Bluetooth.

Available colours: Milano Red, Crystal Black, White Orchid and Azure Blue.

Prices: £14,550 (Si-T: £15,545).

This is the first Jazz GE model to offer a bodykit like offered on the later GD Sport models from 2004 until 2008.

Another recent change to the Jazz is the inclusion of start/stop ('Idle Stop') on the 1.2 i-VTEC SE and a CO2 reduction of 3g/km meaning the 1.2 i-VTEC SE now sits in tax band C and costs just £30 per year in road tax. Oddly, the SE with Idle Stop also includes automatic climate control and bodycoloured door mirrors and handles.

Now if this had the 1.5 vtec engine I would buy one tomorrow.

Also yet again the rear spoiler is missing on a sporty UK model Jazz!!

Has anyone seen one at a dealership and checked it out inside and out?

Also anyone test driven one? Does the modified suspension make any difference?

Pity it doesn't have a bigger engine.

The Jazz models I have looked at here have a VIN number ending with a "J".  Guy down the road has a 2011 1.5LE.  This is the one with a light on the mirror and reverse parking assist, cruise control, heated seats (very nice touch in winter), etc
If music be the food of love, play on

Yes - shame they couldn't make a pokier version of the engine- or a larger engine for the Si
version - although not everyone would want this  - there are many who would jump at the
chance to get one with a bit more poke.
I assume there are tune up outlets out there that do 'Breath on' the existing engines...?

I test drove 2 Jazz SI was very good but is to much showing off for my taste i prefer a sleeper, the bodykit  is good but can attract the wrong attention and the lowered suspension are little to much harsh and very unforgiving because of that i chose to buy a 2010 SI without the bodykit which is perfect for where i live........

Seems a weird thing to make it look meaner without the power to support it!

I agree the body kit is all show and no go, I picked up a set of new SI wheels on ebay for a preety sweet price and was intending sticking some winter tyres on them, so ours is going to look like a hybrid 2010/2013 Si :)

Just need to book car in for rear tints to keep the twins cool in summer and give it the EX look
