blogentry-133713-0-16208400-1431827327_thumb.jpgThe new 2015 Honda Jazz Shuttle has gone on sale in Japan. Based on the Honda Jazz or Fit, depending on which part of the world you are in, the Shuttle is a stretched version of the Jazz and is meant as an replacement for the Honda Airwave and Honda Fit Shuttle. Styling wise, it adopts the brand's 'Solid Wing Face' front grille seen on the rest of the Honda cars like the Jazz and the HR-V.

 

blogentry-133713-0-61491800-1431827337_thumb.jpgMechanically, the car is offered with either a hybrid variant as well as a normal petrol variant. The hybrid variant uses the brand's familiar Sport Hybrid i-DCD powertrain which is made up of a 108bhp 1.5-litre i-VTEC Atkinson-cycle engine, a 28bhp electric motor built into a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox, and a lithium-ion battery. Total output is said to be 133bhp and it will be able to do 34km/L when driven wisely.

blogentry-133713-0-94535700-1431827413_thumb.jpgLike its predecessor, the new Shuttle seats five and has a boot space of 570 litres. With the rear seats folded down, the length can be extended as far as 1.84 metres which also corresponds to a luggage space of 1,141 litres. The car also offers a flat floor and is equipped with two basket on the backside of the rear seats. When not needed, they can be folded flat.

Of course it is, im refering to the fit shuttle, the stationwagon version. Its a 1.5L station wagon, just like the previous airwave. So now they have this Shuttle and the Fit Shuttle. tink its suppose to be jus a little bigger then

i see.. in that case i think the fit shuttle you're refering to (based on the 2nd gen jazz/fit) is the predecessor to this model(which is based on 3rd gen jazz/fit)..

Since they call it Jazz Shuttle, Kah motor might bring it in? Since they bring in Jazz?

Given how popular the Airwave was when it went on sale here back then, Kah Motor should consider importing this model as an official model rather than getting buyers to purchase from PIs. Looks to be a good car for someone looking for a car that is larger than the normal Jazz super mini but don't require an MPV.

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
