JAZZ IS COMING TO INDIA

The second generation Jazz is already in India.It will hit Indian show rooms in June 2009.It is the biggest hatch back, even bigger than the i20 and Skoda Fabia.
This car offers generous amount of space.To correct the obstructin of the A-pillar, the Jazz has slimmer A-pillar and wide quarter glass.The boot is the largest in a hatch back we have ever seen.There is a new feature called" double trunk"in the boot, a small storage area covered by a hinged flap where usually the spare tyre sits.Alas! the spare tyre is not provided,which is disastrous in the Indian roads.Instead a spare tyre could have been provided under the boot like in the Toyota Innova, the older generation Peugeot Cars.
Wheel base 2500 mm
Kerb weight 1047 kg.
Engine 1198 cc,4 cyls in line, front mounted, transverse, front wheel drive.
Power 89 bhp at 6000 rpm. Torque 11.62 kgm at 4900 rpm.
Brakes (F/R) Ventillated discs/discs.
This has an i-vtec engine as well as an i-intec interior.The back seats are cinema theatre type.One can fold the cushion upwards and backwards to create more space in the foot well.
For this purpose the petrol tank has been shifted from the conventional rear to under the front seats.The rear seat is 40/60 split.The seats can be folded turned or rotated.There is even a box under the rear seat.The real magic is here.The boot space is 399 litre.
