2017 Honda Jazz (facelift) showcased at IAA 2017 - Live

Honda has showcased the 2017 Honda Jazz at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The European spec 2017 Honda Jazz was revealed ahead of the show in August. The car gets refreshed external design, with ‘Solid Wing Face’ headlight signature and grille. The sharply sculpted front bumper features more aggressive contours around the air vents. At the rear, shallower grille sections are linked by a gloss black trim strip above a trapezoid lower section. Updates to the exterior are rounded off by the addition of metallic Skyride Blue as a new colour option.
