The new Honda Jazz is raising the bar even further in the supermini segment and launches in Arnold Clark showrooms across the country this Friday 17th 2008. To celebrate the stylish new Jazz, Arnold Clark Honda Kilmarnock will have a live Jazz band entertaining VIP customers throughout the evening.
The previous Jazz was such a successful car that creating its successor was always going to be a challenge. But by enhancing the car's strongest qualities, the engineers at Honda have taken Jazz on to the next stage, producing a car with even greater flexibility, more interior space and a ‘bigger car' feel.
Everyone's aware of rising prices at the pumps, so Arnold Clark Honda is pleased to present a 1.2-litre petrol Jazz that offers nearly 54mpg (combined), while the 1.4-litre Jazz offers up to 53mpg. To add to that, competitive outright purchase costs, low-cost servicing, models that qualify for lower tax and outstanding residual values ensure the Jazz is great value for money.
Arriving at a time of rising fuel prices and general tightening of belts, the latest Jazz offers a range of lively, but low emission, high economy petrol engines, which will appeal to the increasing number of cost-conscious motorists and downsizers.
With Tardis-like packaging, this clever and versatile car has a class-leading specification, finished with high quality materials and trim. In short, the new Jazz offers all the benefits of a large car, in the mould of a small car.
Cabin Noise levels have also been reduced significantly to rival the improving competition and create a cabin that's quieter and a more comfortable place to be.
Honda engineers have also been busy with the polish; adding refinement and improvements to areas where the outgoing model already excelled. There's even greater versatility with easier-to-use, one-motion Magic Seats and an innovative, new Double-Trunk (on 1.4 -litre models); plus, increased cabin space.
The interior trim of Jazz always set premium standards in the B-sector, but the new model takes this a step further, with a more contemporary cabin design, and the use of high quality materials and trim. And small car doesn't necessarily mean sparse - there's a comprehensive equipment list, including iPod connectivity on some models.
Franchise manager, David Munton said "The Honda Jazz is so practical and it is the reason it attracts such a wide range of people, from grandparents and driving instructors, to mums with babies and nurses. This broad appeal is one of the reasons why the car has featured at, or near, the top of the sales charts every year it's been on sale in the UK."
The new Jazz is priced very competitively, with the entry level 1.2-litre S available for £9,990 on the road.
