2026 Honda Jazz Facelift – In the hatchback segment, Honda Jazz was once another name for trust, space and simplicity. Now once again this model is under discussion, as Honda has officially introduced the 2026 Honda Jazz Facelift. It offers a new design, lightweight size updates and a changed feature strategy, which clearly states that Honda now wants to offer this car as a budget-friendly option.
Design
On seeing the 2026 Honda Jazz, its changed front draws attention first. In this facelift, Honda has a split-LED headlamp setup, making it more sharp and modern than before. It also has a thin grill on the top and a new, more sculpted front bumpers.
These changes together give Jazz a more aggressive and contemporary face. While the old model seemed simple and soft, the new Jazz is preparing to hit the road with a little more confidence.
Honda has also introduced three new exterior colors with it – Dynamic Blue, Fiery Yellow and Starry Night White. These color options seem to be chosen especially with young buyers in mind.

Cabin
The cabin of the 2026 Honda Jazz is not entirely new, but is deliberately kept simple. Honda’s focus is more practicality than appearances here. The biggest update is the new 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which replaces the older smaller display. This is accompanied by a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, which shows the necessary information clearly.
In addition, the cabin offers fabric seat upholstery, two-speaker audio system and a basic feature list. The special thing is that this China-spec model does not include features like Honda’s Magic Seats and Honda Sensing Safety Suits.

Engine and gearbox
Talking about the engine, Honda has not made any experiment in the engine. The 2026 Honda Jazz offers the same 1.5-liter naturally aspirated i-VTEC petrol engine, generating 122 bhp power and 145 Nm of torque.
This engine comes with CVT automatic gearbox, known for its smooth driving experience. Hybrid versions of Jazz are also available in international markets, but this model launched in China does not offer a hybrid option.

Honda also plans to limit its production numbers. About 3,000 units will be made, making this car more of an affordable petrol option than budget electric vehicles.
