The 2020 Honda Jazz BS6 has recently been spied testing on Indian roads wearing full-body camouflage wrap.

As reported earlier, the 2020 Honda Jazz that’ll go sale in India will not be the same car that is currently being sold in Japan. The JDM Honda Jazz (or Fit, as it is known there) is a new generation model, and is available with a traditional petrol engine paired to a CVT gearbox, along with a new petrol/electric hybrid powertrain. The upcoming India-spec model, however, is the earlier generation model with a few cosmetic updates and a few mechanical upgrades to gain BS6 emission compliance. It also features mild styling revisions for both the interior as well as the exterior.

The former is capable of generating 90 PS and 110 Nm of maximum power and peak torque, respectively, while the latter is good for 100 PS and 200 Nm. The petrol model offers a choice between a 5-speed manual and a CVT automatic, while the diesel model can only be had with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
