Space too

The Jazz is bigger in every significant dimension but it is just under 4 meters in length to comply with small car excise duty. But Honda's incredible packaging ability frees up space for occupants rather than the mechanicals.

The fuel tank is chucked under the front seats instead of regular under boot position to create room for rear passengers. The cargo space is brilliant: even when the rear seats are up, there is 399 litres of space.

The huge boot is complete with under-floor storage and flat folding rear seats at the pull of a handle. Additionally, the rear seat squabs can be hinged upwards to create a storage space in the middle of the car.
