But what’s in doubt is whether they bring the Jap Fit n rebadge as Jazz which is what they hv been doing all this while OR as some reports mention (see link below) rebadge the City HB as Jazz for our local markets. https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/www.autoindustriya.com/auto-industry-news/honda-city-hatchback-ready-for-november-24-debut/amp it may make more financial sense for AD to bring in city hatch (badged as jazz or not) .. made in thailand probably can get omv slightly lower, plus share more body/interior parts save on parts inventory .. will watch pricing in thailand next week .. even if thats a 1.0 turbo can still guess pricing vis-a-vis sedan. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are physical differences. The outgoing generation Fit/Jazz is the same car bar minor differences. The latest generation Fit is already out n sold by PI but this time it’s anybody’s guess if Kah will do as before or use the City HB n rebadge as Jazz which if true, would mean a radical departure from previous norms. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooose 6th Gear November 24, 2020 Share November 24, 2020 looks like thailand will retain city name for hatchback, pricing is just a touch higher than sedan and deliveries should start january 2021 .. remains to be seen what local AD will do ..

therock Supersonic November 26, 2020 Share November 26, 2020 I hope those buyers considering the mild hybrids like the Mazda 3, and even this hybrid do your maths.. You may save some $ on fuel costs initially, but check how much a battery change will cost. You may find that that initial savings will be totally wiped out and more. I considered a Civic hybrid more than 15 years ago, the maths didn't work out... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purpose is to charge up the battery to supply electricity for devices. Agree that this is basically a useless and expensive to maintain feature. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a marketing term... I've been hearing from people who are non-car enthusiasts telling me that mazda 3 is a hybrid car, some even went as far as to think it is competing against the prius 😆 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecarboy302 3rd Gear November 29, 2020 Share November 29, 2020 Not sure if down the road will Kah bring in a lower spec version that slots below the SV, the current pricing even for SV is just too close to the larger Civic and Hyundai Avante.
