Some differences between Jazz Crossbar and Jazz
There are some differences between Jazz Crossbar and Jazz, such as the front grille (better solution than Jazz.) maximum ground clearance of 37 mm (152 mm in total), maximum width of 31 mm, roof bar, lower body protection made of plastic and possibility of roof in opposite color to the body.
Actually, Jazz and its "cousin" Jazz crossbar share the same technical foundation, including platforms, hybrid solutions and: HEV, which itself is a very efficient and easy-to-use equation without charging the cable, as these are not plug-in models.
Internally,Honda has adopted a minimalist approach, with a 7.0-inch dashboard that displays key information to the driver (although underutilized in terms of settings), and has a 9.0-inch central touch screen, which brings together the main features of the vehicle, with better reading and greater accessibility than the current Jazz. Fortunately, air conditioning is not in the digital world and has physical controls on the center console. In general, it also has a good overall structure and excellent plastic properties, and the coating on the dashboard is softer and of good quality, but it is far from the advanced environment, which can be expected considering the cost of this Jazz Crossbar.
In the technical section, here is an improvement of the i-mmd system in the CR-V hybrid system, which uses a 1.5 i-VTEC 98 HP engine, which adds a 109 HP motor and 253 nm of torque to convert to a combined power of 109 HP - remember, the power of a hybrid is not usually the sum of two engines. But there is another motor, although it is a generator, that supplies the traction motor with energy from the internal combustion engine.
If the performance aspect is very satisfactory, then the driving aspect is more pleasant for those who want to provide a comfortable mode for family sports than those who need rhythmic shooting, rather than sharp as Jazz used to be. Although the structural stiffness is increased by 13% due to the use of a large number of high-strength steel, the comfort of Jazz Crossbar is much higher than that of fast driving, even for suspension, which makes passengers feel isolated, effectively protect the bad floor, even when turning, it will not endanger the sense of safety, and cannot avoid body side tilt.
In the other case, the LKAS is too intrusive and in most cases will act unnecessarily on the steering system - the system deactivation button is located on the left steering wheel behind the cab.
The design of the hybrid car is quite good. It can be said that it is a simple hybrid vehicle with high efficiency. It is one of the best hybrid vehicles on the market, which is comparable with Toyota and other systems. However, it loses some of the more dynamic appeal of previous models, which makes driving on winding circuits fun and thus gains comfort. To be sure, it maintains almost referential habitability, but due to the choice of hybrid solutions, compared with the previous generation of Jazz Honda, it even lost luggage capacity.
But all of this can be left behind, because it can be said that your family intelligence attracts a delightful style if the price is not 28, 500 euros (along with the brand's promotional activities), Jazz Crossbar starts to come up with hybrid solutions in very complex situations (even if the standard equipment is very complete), especially in the case of observing the market panorama and there are many alternative products (even Jazz calls it ordinary).
In short, Jazz Crossbar sticks to the idea of a good idea, a tough life, and only those who are interested in the rugged appearance of SUVs can pay more attention. It's always more affordable to buy a simple Jazz, and it has the advantages of Crossbar.
