Honda Siel Cars India will launch the Jazz in India with a 1.2 L i-VTEC engine, developed for the Indian Market. The new powertrain is a four - cylinder, 1198 cc engine featuring Programmed Fuel Injection delivering a power of 89bhp @ 6,200 rpm and Torque of 110 Nm (11.2 kg-m) @ 4800 rpm while returning a fuel economy of 16.1 km/l as per ARAI test data. In line with Honda’s mission to reduce its environmental footprint, the new engine has Euro IV emission levels. 

The i-VTEC regulates the opening of air-fuel intake valves and exhaust valves in accordance with engine speeds. By regulating valve opening to match engine speed, the i-VTEC engine adjusts its characteristics to realize both power and low fuel consumption. The development work for this engine was done in Honda R&D centre in TochigiJapan. 

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Jnaneswar Sen, Vice President - Marketing, Honda Siel Cars India said “The “Made for India” Jazz engine will provide the perfect balance between good fuel economy and performance.
