"Besides its unique features of being fun and fuel efficient, the feature I love most is the flexible cargo space with versatile ULTRA Seats which can be converted into four configurations. This makes the Jazz a very practical car for family outings while staying nifty and fun to drive in the city.” said Hasmawati who currently drives a Honda City.

The contest was held from Jan 22 to Mar 11 and was open to all Honda owners, which garnered over 43,000 submissions, of which 1,006 of them were selected to win various prizes worth a total of RM198,255.

The model contributed 13% of total Honda Malaysia sales in 2017 and continues to lead in the hatchback segment, bringing the ‘Joy of Driving’ to
its many owners.

Since the first Generation Jazz was introduced in Malaysia in 2003, a total of more than 89,000 units have been sold in Malaysia.

Designed with the concept of ‘Man Maximum, Machine Minimum, the Jazz delivers a compact and highly efficient package through maximising the space for occupants while minimising the space utilised by the car.

The four modes of ULTRA seats – Utility, Long, Tall and Refresh are useful at different times such as long distance travelling, city driving, family getaways and more.

Powered by Honda’s signature 1.5L i-VTEC engine coupled with Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) that was developed under Honda’s Earth Dreams Technology, the Jazz offers fuel efficiency and optimal performance.
