Renuka I don't agree with your judgement today towards the i20. The reason being its more claustrophobic and offers less space than the Honda Jazz. In my opinion the Honda is a clear winner here !!!!
I had finalized the Elite i20. It does have a better design - aesthetically, better features and many other things.
Suddenly I came to know about this new Jazz and I booked it. Reasons are-
Bigger space inside - usage 100% of time in car
Better bhp- usage 100% of time
Better fuel economy - usage 100% of time driving the car
Bigger windows giving a big car feel - usage 100% of time
Flatter but spacious rear seats- usage 100% of time
350 litre luggage space - very frequent thing to use.
Now the i20 felt premium but has closed feel to cabin. No issues on leg room. It is equally comfortable. But Jazz gives you a feel of control with big rear and front wind shields and windows. Interior of Jazz is not bad at all.
i20 features- are you going to use them ALL THE TIME? May be the better torque. But search out which one is faster in 0-100 kph.
i20 is worth and tempting. Jazz is better choice.

+Shridhan Patil Same here...i almost decided on i20 after shortlisting i20 with polo, punto evo and baleno...but never really thought about Jazz...not jazz has got my attention, i loved it so much ive reading reviews of it and fell in love with it...gonna buy a petrol Jazz SV. :)
Good for you. And it gives big car feel which your friends will tell when they sit inside.
Shridhan Patil I
petrol would be very comfortable and smooth. . ive got diesel..
Jazz is my choice ....Lets not forget the reliability that the Honda offers ... And it's one of the best Diesel engines that Honda which won many hearts on mileage...
Not just that, after sales support of Honda is far better than Hyundai. Honda is a reputation for that.
sai venkat lol engine sound was horrible!
shaik javed u own a jazz, does it really horrible in terms of nvh levels? I mean what you think does it really unacceptable & the nvh should be consider as deal breaker? some people says that it sounds like a tractor...
I love this car n want to buy idtech vx trim, please suggest me yaar.
2885 pk jazz is good for family and it is good for traveling because its space and convinent!its engine is noisy!where we compare jazz with other cars it has everything and more!but it doesnt give satisfaction.if take i20 it has something spl that attracts us.may be if you are not buying for family go for other car!if you are taking for particularly for family dont think go for jazz!my best opinion go for maruti suzuki breeza best car!where hundai and muruti car give you fun while driving where honda car gives u convinence and comfort!what you want pick up fun while driving or comfort?
i think i am in love with honda jazz....
It's a shame the Indian market gets the lowest of the low spec'd Jazz.
In NZ we have the RS spec, superb new 1.5 earth dreams engine, larger 16 inch shadow rims, better interior and exterior trim. We've ours for nearly a year and it been incredible.
I will never touch a Hyundai again, in terms of reliability and longevity, Honda wins hands down.
Mark Atkinson I simply agree with you. They totally kill all nice specs and features while bringing it to India.

Mark Atkinson agreed ,honda is no doubt beter...they might not hv got the rs version to india coz,people here dnt prefer spending much money on hatchbacks,theyd rather go for the bigger sedans or suvs

In india 2 things most important in car
1. Milage
2. Space
And thats in honda jazz... so
I20 may win, but I feel the fuel economy difference is huge. That is more important to people buying in this segment, I think. So, I disagree and let Honda win this one.
I own the Jazz and yet no complaints. Best hatchback ever and I am proud of it.
planning to buy second hand honda jazz (2011)
how about car maintanance cost high,average or low
I do many research but can't know,
ans pls.
honda jazz is best as it has a lot of space and touch screen that i20 elite dont have and a sharp design so jazz wins
Amman Tak but it is 2lakh more costly , what a deal
i think honda is winner
Jazz was the most awaited launch of year 2015.
Honda Jazz has placed its variants very very wisely .It offers ABS+EBD to each and every variant and also price is almost similar to i 20. At some points , Jazz offers good combinations over i 20 (it may happen that customer may leave few comfort features of i 20 for safety features of Jazz). After all, in India, mileage is also a major decisive factor and people may tend to purchase Jazz as it also has a better space in-around it.
Also Jazz comes with Honda City interiors and engine and those who can't ride Honda city can enjoy Honda's engineering through Jazz. Unlikely Hyundai has more expensive spare parts and due to more (unwanted ) features (like auto folding rear view mirrors) i20 may cost more during servicing.Jazz also has such features but one can by-pass it in entry level model with having ABS and EBD in it. Hyundai recommends servicing for quite long intervals and that is only the good point. Honda asks to change oil and fillers quite earlier than Hyundai and, in a year ,one may have to take car to service station for 3-4 times .(Honda KM wise intervals- 1000 KM or 1 month , 5000 KM or 3 months 10000 KM or 6 months,20000 KM or 1 year. Hyundai service intervals-1500 KM or 2 months , 10000 KM or 1 year 20000 KM or 2 years) . This is what I don't understand about Honda and Jazz may cost more labour charges and servicing charges than Hyundai. Still there's one point to add that Jazz's sheet metal body parts (doors,bonnet,hood etc.) are made in India and hence their price will be as same as other cars.
excellent review, I'm pleasantly surprised and subbed
thanks for your thorough and detailed review. excellent.
Autocar is a good reviewer and as a viewer i would like to thank you all and ur team for keeping up the good work. I have found best reviews on this channel , with highlights on good and bad features . You guys understand what a consumer wants and review the vehicle frame by frame accordingly. I always look for your channel to review the cars. Every second of the videos has something valuable which makes the review more efficient than other reviews on the internet. Thankyou again for bringing the best tests and detailed reviews of vehicles.
What about the quality of the metal sheets and chassis in baleno? Is it very filmsy?
I love to hv a i20 European version,coz much more features.It's really unfair that hyundai Chennai factory manufactures it and exports to Europe but not on Indian roads.
How about maintenance comparison between Hyundai and Honda? whis is costlier in terms of maintenance cost?
Hatch back king ' honda jazz 💪
is jazz back seat centre seat uncomfortable to sit on as it seems too elevated than other seats?
Thanks for the comprehensive review
jazz all the way
But nvh suck
+Lavy 93 indeed, and it is way better is terms of look and space.
when u compare, start comparing all in that segment together. i would love to see an automatic hatchback comparison.
at the end i purchased elite i 20 sportz....
With the prices out for various Jazz segment for me Honda Jazz has won...
Both cars are good in terms of quality as well as safelty
i luved this orange colour scheme of the jazz.....too bad this colour isnt availiable now
Autocar has come of age, this was a terrific comparison. I'm not in the market for one of these just yet but I'd get the Honda based on your review. Why? I'd suffer identity crisis with the i20 Elite. Plus I'm poetic and I'd give the underdog a chance. Ten years back, it was the other way around.
does elite will also get the navigation system with the touch screen feature?
how cud u declare i20 elite as the winner?Honda Jazz is really unmatched in performancs,space,quality,smoothness n style.Its Honda Jazz the new King of the Segment.
haha nice joke. honda has poor fit and finish when compared with hyundai.
The Jazz is a true segment leader in terms of practicality, build quality, comfort and ride quality. Hyundai is a big no, though it offers lot of features it surely has quite big problems in its maintenance and engine in the long run. There have been many issues with engine failure in i20 even with many of my friends. Indian customers are easy to fool, offer good features and without letting them know the compromise in safety and quality, people still buy such vehicles. This strategy of Hyundai clearly doesn't work out in other countries in the Middle East and elsewhere for example, people do look for the long run,
Dharrshan E Came to know tat u dnt know nothing kid.
simon mathews jandu in India people purchase car not of your rules .....i20 is best because it's economy and style
Price matters too
I like both its hard to argue which one is best .....simply choose your liking and go.....
Hi Renuka - Not sure if this is the right forum....i am planning to buy the petrol Honda Jazz and i drive around 60 km daily within the city. Would petrol and the Jazz be the right car for city drive?
Excellent Review..... Big Thumbs Up
Petrol comparison pls. Good review anyways. Hope Honda price it right as well.
honda diesel, does it really horrible in terms of nvh levels? I mean what you think does it really unacceptable & the nvh should be consider as deal breaker? some people says that it sounds very loud.
I love the jazz n want to buy idtech vx trim, please suggest me.
I see so many comments as Honda jazz is winner here but y people still go with i20 when compare to Jazz..20 out of 1car is Jazz in Chennai. y is it so??
need your video for baleno vs i20 vs jazz
This was a nice comparo. Liked the fact, that better feature in the particular car was praised and less bashing of the other car. Also more important that it wasn't an All out praise about the Honda Product. Am very impressed with the amount of space one gets in Jazz, but thats also its downfall. It feels too vacant and empty (WRT the cabin) I was thoroughly impressed with the diesel motor on Hyundai Verna (Fluidic) when we go it. It just didnt have the trademark engine clatter that Diesel engines have. Same continues with this car. You cant hear the engine at idle unless you put your ear to the bonnet. What i20 offers is a car that up to the World standards. Its quite commendable they are doing this. Rest of the companies like Honda, Volkswagon, Suzuki etc are just trying to provide product at below par quality. They are able to sell such cheap quality cars because of their brand name.
Nice review autocar...
No doubt i20 hav btr exterior and refined diesel engine.....but jazz is better in interior, fuel economy, powerful engine both P and D , btr handling , btr for city nd highway drive, magic seats, and above all its Honda!!
my humble opinion is that never compare Honda vehicle with Hyundai. Honda always make quality product that we never expect from even Toyota.
Toyota has not even Launched their classy cars in India :3
+Mursheed Kamil Rashid wat do u call corolla and camry ?
lift the bonnet you will know the difference in honda and hyundai.
honda now giving cheap products to india thats why i20 beating jazz big time. ciaz beating once royal car city. and do t even talk about crv. what are they doing ? they now have superb petrol engine thats it.
we purchased honda jazz, and i personally verified that honda is giving better technology and safety too. There is nothing cheap in the honda. And dont compare Ciaz with a City. Ciaz cant survive a crash with a Nano hitting it from behind. Maruti is cheap. Not the Honda. And Hyundai lacks proper suspension and ride dynamics.
kalyanchd you may be right kalyanchd, but at least in cabin quality you can make out that honda is lacking look at hyundais cabin quality.
I like both but I want a petrol id go for the jazz but if it's a diesel.... undoubtedly the i20
Why not compare petrol versions as well
nice comparison, but no mention of safety features, if any. :(
Given its space and practicality, Jazz should've been compared with Nissan Micra.
Amazing space and fresh looks should make Jazz sell like hot cakes...if its priced well.
All the comments are related to space, looks. May i know which engine VTVT or i-Vtec is good?
muralee2711 i-vtec
i20 feels good ,good looking, premium interior but in rear less space compare to jass
which car i should buy swift diesel. i20 diesel. jazz diesel
autocar should've declared Honda as the winner right away.
The Jazz is a true segment leader in terms of practicality, build quality, comfort and ride quality. Hyundai is a big no, though it offers lot of features it surely has quite big problems in its maintenance and engine in the long run. There have been many issues with engine failure in i20 even with many of my friends.

Jazz beats elite i20 in every segment. Nothing else is a Jazz!! ;)
make a comparison betwween petrol Baleno, i20, jazz
both the cars and the reviewer has good stance.. but still i20 is best
I still love my polo 2015 model . ;)
I feel sorry for you
I also feel sorry for you , u don't know anything about VW cars .
PRASHANT BISWAS For those who love to drive, no other hatch beats the Polo. Happy driving, mate!
PRASHANT BISWAS well said. Vw cars are THE BEST when it comes to built quality,interiors fit and finish engine
Buddy even suzuki sells well built cars all over the world..but in India all of these multi national companies sell crap... The european Swift scores 5* euroNcap safety ratings while the Indian version scores ZERO. Same brand, same product but difference in quality.. Same happens with other brands as well. Even the VW Polo failed the safety test conducted by EuroNcap...they sell cheaply made stuff here for cutting the cost.
You need to realise that in this segment, more than 30% of the sale is also of petrols and Jazz has a free revving better petrol engine with an auto option as well. As i request, please now also start looking at the petrol option and also advise your followers to switch to the greener and cleaner petrol motors by also comparing the petrols.
kartik gupta I agree. Petrol + CNG offers a better package to city drivers, one that most reviewers gleefully ignore.
I would never buy an i20 if I had enough money to own a Jazz.
Jazz is mush better than the i20 . Jazz is to sporty than the i20 .
+Shubham Patil look like small mouseeeee..
jazz should not be categorised under hatcheback tag ... its a bloody small mpv 😅
now your getting an touch screen in elite 120
i only feel jazz is good in terms of space rest i feel elite i20 is better at every angle. Take features it wins , looks it wins , alloys n tyres it wins . Jazz would have been a good car if it had provided the same features what we get it international market.People now would like to prefer factory fitted equipments instead of going for aftermarket system. due to 90% localization there would be degradation in terms of quality. I dont kow why they have not given push button / keyless as these features are must now for next generation cars. I somehow feel elite i20 is still any day better car.
Ankit Gandhi but when looked mileagewise isn't jazz miles ahead
Honda is Honda people..
Jazz is far above over Hyundai's i20..
Planning to buy a petrol automatic.... Pls suggest between Baleno and Jazz cvt
Go for JAzz 'V' model....with paddle shifters!
plz do compare Ford figo 2015 and i20
Was expecting a petrol engine comparison as well... rest review was good. 👍
vitara brezza Vs jazz..... make video
Jazz was always stylish looking of the Honda family .
Jazz good but speed door sensor no and lock unlock not beep sound not working
i prefer jazz the better high speed and confortable ride with incredibe spacious inside adding the looks base on lamborgini love to modify it
This comparo should include VW Polo, why they always forget this car..?
Armaan Bath Bcose thats out of the league... much more better car than this two
Amox bcose of the brand bcose of it quality bcose of its power... interiors...
Gamer Gone Mad To be honest Volkswagen is not an elite brand when you compare it to Honda or Hyundai. I would've agreed if it was Mercedes or BMW.
Power? 1.2L engine of Volkswagen polo produces 74bhp, less than 82bhp of i20. Unless you're speaking of Polo GT which is obviously more powerful since its a 1.5L engine and 2 lakh costlier.
Interiors? I don't think Polo's interior is better than Elite i20 which has been proved to be the best interior car within 7 lakh by several reviewers.
Gamer Gone Mad new honda jazz
+Amox you are funny man "Volkswagen is not elite" compared to Honda and Hyundai. So technically you want a Mercedes or a BMW to be compared with Honda and Hyundai..... what is wrong with you dude
snce when did beige become more upmarket than all black ? most of the car makers have all black themes for their top spec'd models. reviewers should leave the looks out. a very personal matter. i'd rate the black interiors of the jazz along with that sexy blue themed dials much higher than the i20
And front seats of jazz are way more comfortable than i20 or even polo
Hey i have been following the Honda Jazz 2015 from quite a long time and you have underrated jazz.Featuring a petrol battle between the two could have been better.
You could have a diesel and a petrol trophy.
What about the POLO? Is it too far ahead for the comparison?
Rahul Prasad I am a bit confused as to which to buy, is the mileage of i20 anywhere near the new jazz, the review says that the diesel jazz rattles more that the i20- does that mean the engine will be worn out quicker than the i20,please reply
Hyundai makes very tough n reliable engines.
What about the Petrol?
I love i 20
Why would take diesel engine for comparison? Isn't petrol better value for money prospect?
why not compare the petrol engines also. really disappointed. also a car with a punchier engine will be better enjoyed at igh speeds for which it needs better high speed comfort and not exceptional low speed ride quality.
Why din't you add the maruti suzuki Swift??
I was looking for petrol engine which one is better Jazz or i20
The petrol Jazz is much better than the I20 to drive. It has more space than the competition too. The o ly drawback is the higher cost of spares for the Honda.
+Krishnan Ravichandran elite petrol is much better with extra throttle on it..and its family car with large interior space
shubham bhandari good engine city average 11 highway 14.7 the one strange fact to know spare wheel is 14" though running wheel 15"
what about petrol ones.....??? Petrol are really making a comeback you should review their petrol counterparts as well Autocar.....!
the sales figures of i20 itself show s which is the king of the segment
Dharrshan E nope Honda is winner in d segment and. C segment
Sedan
why they call Jazz instead Fit ?
Couldn't agree on ur comparison!! I20's 1.4 is not a match to jazz. In space mileage engine jass scores..
Clearly honda jazz winner😍
VW Polo GT is my first choice for this segment.
Anish Somawar GT is expensive than these 2
Lokesh Tulsani But GT is worth it and GT is ALWAYS a GT no replacement for it
Prince Aiyappa Good luck with the high maintenance cost
10000rs after every 15000kms isn't bad at all!
Autocar India Any idea when the AVN for Elite I20 will hit the showroom? I just checked with showroom guys and they still say no idea. Please provide an update I am planning for Elite I20.
Bro... U may put it as an accessory.. Won't cost u much... Max 10k
I booked it will be getting it this week
Booked elite I20 with AVN??
It's available now with avn in asta optional variant
Changed my mind and went for Ciaz ZXI
interesting...
Jazz positives... ~20% better fuel economy, less need to work engine/gears in town, better steering, more space for passengers and cargo.
i20 positives - better dashboard materials...pepper engine.
clearly hands down win to i20?!
daaaamn... they don't have the Honda diesel in NZ yet do they? 27km/l would be brilliant!!!
But in petrol version honda beats i20 . It also has a cvt which i20 doesn't
guyz suggest me jazz or swift or etios or i 20 or polo which one is good
shaik javed Polo
no, i20
buyed jazz!lol bought by my dad still I'm thinking that i could buy i 20
shaik javed hai bro I 20 is better
manjunath reddy already bought jazz!
super hyundai elite i20 wins..! good... i like you jazz,fit, but you lose. hyundai touch screen damit NOW.. don't wanna go for after market.
Reddylion Hyundai elite I20 is coming with touch panel on 8th July 2015 to stand on the standard of Jazz.
yes that's what renuka said. thanks..
i think ford aspire is better choice in comparison to both
Hyundai is all about spec's how many can they fit in there cars. because if you are going for engines they don't even come close to the VW Polo or the Honda VTEC. VTEC is the engine which designed in all there formula one cars for the last 30 years. Hyundai has always tried to not cheat the consumer but spec up the car. So be wise do you really want the touch screen and visit the service station every year or do not want the touch screen and a better engine which you see every 10000 km.
Folks
i am bit confused,suggest me best among HONDA JAZZ,MARUTI SWIFT,HYUNDAI 120.....
+VIGNESH RV Honda Jazz any day..
Dont 4get.. I20 is a Rally car too.. but Jazz is V-Tec
Wat do u mean rally car and vtec ??
Overpriced, needs to add some more features with this price tag like
push start, rain sensing wipers, DRL
15" alloy is poor choice
Steering Adjustment not Telescopic
No driver armrest
No Automatic Head Lamps
Lol when its come to make EMI... Your comment would be the should make it cheaper, to bad... We Indians need all what European customer gets but don't want to pay money...haha... Well seeing the review of swift sports price in UK 13000 pound... Wondering swift is coming sub 5 lack in India...manufacturer can't do much in that case...till we ready shed some money
sir actually all the features which i wrote are available in hyundai i20 elite except EBD.
and at 30k lesser price.
and hyundai has added touchscreen display nw. so tough fight for jazz.
i waited for jazz for more than a year but the features i found quite low profile, i m ready to pay 50k to 1L more but with all there amenities.
*all these amenities.
yes but did you notice polo base model come with airbag and mid model comes with abs... both are missing in hyundai, maruti all sort of this brand.. The bottom line is manufacture has ideology either to give preference to stupid bells and whistle like key less entry or push start button or give preference to safety.
well the difference is more pronounce european and japany brand more incline towards safety.. while maruti and hyundai give preference to this kind of features..
HONDA JAZZ all Time
Jazz is the clear winner. Final judgement gone wrong.
Jazz should be the winner !!!
2015 polo is any way better than both of these cars if you consider driving comfort and safety....
Debadatta Parida no
i20 is the best budget car ever
SO Nice CAR Jazz
Hyundai is like a low cost android phone which offers more features than iphone, Don't go for it ...
My Dear friends, this is what I feel being Hyundai owner for past 6 years... Now am proud to be having a Jazz than i20....
No its not.. And its so scary to drive.. It gives you zero confidence to push it
Arun S elite i20 is way better than your previous model.
May be ....
but now it is an iPhone 7
recently.. hyundai is so much better than honda
