Honda launches 'Jazz' subcompact in Thailand

BANGKOK, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Honda Motor Co , Japan's number-two auto maker, said on Tuesday it had begun production and sales of its five-door hatchback subcompact "Jazz" in Thailand, hoping to foster demand in the untapped segment.

Honda aims to sell about 16,000 of the cars in Thailand next year, with plans to export it to Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines from early next year, said Satoshi Toshida, chief operating officer of Honda Asia and Oceania.

"We are the first company to try to make this type of vehicle popular in Thailand," Toshida told Reuters, adding that the segment was promising as it accounted for a quarter of the European auto market.

The Jazz will start at 542,000 baht ($13,590) in Thailand.

Honda has sold more than 600,000 of the Jazz, called the "Fit" in Japan, worldwide since its launch in June 2001.

With the all-new Accord sedan and City subcompact, Honda's sales in Thailand are expected to mark a record of over 70,000 units this year, up 30 percent from 2002. ($1=39.88 Baht

sir ozcity, baka masmura dito kasi thailand lang naman gagawin..masmura labor and lahat... parang ang mahal ng prices nya for a hatchback. un 1.5L nya masmahal pa sa city ata... eh dba hatchback lang yan ng city halos? un 1.5 ilan hp? un vti-s nya na cvt kasing presyo na ng rav, crv... tingnan nalang natin sana d na bumagsak peso

[badkuk]

yep, luks a lot better than the City. Actually the city here is based on the Jazz -- nilagyan lang ng trunk para mas praktikal for family use...it sorta messed up the City's look though imho

[phillipogi]

i've seen some jazz na before in japan, its better looking than the city nga. Yung city parang pinilit gawing sedan eh! alanganin tuloy yung korte nya...

[April_Ryan]

saw the honda jazz/fit in singapore. it looks better than the city, no contest.

[badkuk]

Andito na raw sa 2004?

[speedyfix]

ewan, totoo ba? who's your source?Ü

[ghosthunter]

if thats true... my bro will cry because he wanted that car but since wasn't available... he got another model.

[badkuk]

dunno...so far from 2 sources lang eh...one from an internet auto news site(limot ko na url), then 2x sa motioncars.com

ewan ko lang ha...parang malabo din e...kaka debut lang ng city dito

[sikuya]

in my humble opinion, it's bland and ugly; small and underpowered. but the fit (japan) / jazz dethroned the corolla altis last year as the bestselling vehicle in japan (though the altis/corolla is likely to regain its title this year). my first time to see a pic of the fit/jazz.

[caloyski5]

it looks way better than the current city, imo..reminds me of the echo.

[inlook]

actually it's the current city in the phils. what's in the pic is the aussie version of city/jazz. same body but different headlights.

[caloyski5]

what i meant was the current city here

[silvainster]

Kamukha lang ng City pero Wagon...

pareho lang ba ang engine nyan sa city?
