Honda Cars India today rolled out the much-awaited new-generation Honda Jazz in the country at a starting price of ₹ 5.3 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The vehicle was first introduced in 2009, but failed to live up to the company's expectations despite being a capable product it, thus leading Honda to discontinue it in 2013. High pricing and unavailability of a diesel model in the line-up were the two major reasons for the old-generation model's failure. However the company has addressed both the issues with the new model. Along with an attractive price range, the premium hatchback now gets a diesel powertrain and that too the most fuel-efficient one in its league.
