This is sad news for all Honda Jazz followers and car enthusiasts. The local unit of Japan’s Honda Motor Co. Ltd has officially announced the discontinuation of the best-selling B-segment compact, the Honda Jazz.

Remember the popular Petron Xtra Mile Challenge and Honda Media Challenge? These are just the good stories we won’t forget with the Jazz.

The Jazz, which was initially introduced in the Philippine market last July 2004, was launched as an exciting and innovative vehicle in HCPI’s roster of models. Since its initial arrival in the country, the Jazz has been one of HCPI’s well-loved models, selling over 25,000 units to date. Being a well-received model in the Philippines, the Jazz is known for its spaciousness, versatility, style, and performance. Following its market debut, two more generations were launched in 2008 and2014.The third generation received a facelift in 2017,whichwas a great milestone for the nameplate, as it also saw the introduction of its sporty RS variant in the market.

In a press statement, Masahiko Nakamura, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) president, said, “The Jazz has been a remarkable nameplate in the Philippine market for around 13 years. However, as we continue to put an emphasis on meeting market demands, we have thoroughly studied the necessity of the models in our current model lineup. After careful consideration, we would like to formally announce the discontinuation of Jazz and all its variants, in order for us to shift our focus and resources to our current and upcoming models.” 

For many years, the Honda Jazz becomes part of our daily ride-a hatchback that is economical and reliable. Well, the good news is, you can still grab the Jazz at your nearest Honda Cars dealership. Maybe, this is the best time to get one.

You will surely be missed!
