We look forward to providing all our customers with excellent after sales services as well as ensuring the “Joy of Buying” experience at our Honda dealership.”
Ms. Hasmawati who currently drives a Honda City said, “I was truly surprised when I received the exciting news that I have won a Honda Jazz. I have always loved the spaciousness and sporty looks of the Jazz, especially the stylish Lunar Silver Metallic colour. 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.”
Designed with the concept of ‘Man Maximum, Machine Minimum', the Jazz delivers a compact and highly efficient package through maximizing the space for occupants while minimizing the space utilised by the car. The versatility of the Jazz provides customers with the convenience of space maximization without compromising comfort in the vehicle. Additionally, the Jazz is the only hatchback that makes creative use of space with the ULTRA Seats. The 4 modes of ULTRA seats – Utility, Long, Tall and Refresh are useful at different times such as long distance traveling, 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.
