Engine, mileage and torque
Anyway, back to the engine of the Honda Jazz. This is a 1200 cc i-vtec petrol unit. the exact displacement is 1198 cc, and 16-valve engine can produce 89 bhp at 6000 rpm. Not bad, not great either considering the size of the car.
Maximum torque is 11.2 kgm (110 Nm) at 4800 rpm.
Fuel efficiency of the new engine is expected to be 16.1 kilometers to the liter. Even if that is an optimistic projection, most buyers of the Jazz would be happy with mileage figures of 13-14 kmpl, I guess. If that is possible in city driving, super.
While the figures are nothing to complain about, what we do not know is the gearing of the car. How fast would it take off? What’s in gear driving like? Do you have a wide enough powerband, or do you have to constantly shift gears as Honda tries to maximise fuel efficiency of the Jazz?
Sorry guys, no clear idea for anyone there. AutoCar magazine recently carried a road test of the Jazz abroad - no one here in India have published anything yet. The car they test-drove had a different engine to this one. So nothing much could be gleaned from that.
