2020 Honda Fit / Jazz (4th Generation)

[lunaf]

Still holding on to hopes that Crosstar variant will eventually arrive

[Haibei]

Just bot a new Honda Fit 1.3 2020 (non sensing) petrol this Wednesday, there is still sth blurring me...

There are two buttons in each side of the handbrake button. right side one is ECON, left side one is this A-off.

The salesman told me never touch this A-off button.

Usually I turn off ECON, because SG hot weather and we don’t want the aircon dry up the battery for the sake to save gas.

For the A-off, I totally hv no idea, anyone can advise? Any tips on using the two buttons here?

Many Thanks.

so both 1.3 and 1.5 are all made in japan? I thought MIJ are only 1.3L? 

Honda is killing Kah Motor sales with their own policies.  The 1.5l engine is the same one found in the Honda City, so that has euro 6 developments.  Rigidly, the Fit 1.3L is JPN emission, so technically not the same as Euro 6.

Due to the complicated pillar design, the Honda Jazz/Fit can only be built in Japan.

I went to see the Yaris X at Borneo as well.  Prices have gone up to 101k for the active model.  It does look appealing but the Honda Jazz/Fit is the kawaii one..... u won't buy the Jazz/Fit if anime does not appeal to you.  The Yaris X is a compelling crossover but you will need to buy the "excite" models to get all the bells and whistles - LED headlights/taillights, HUD, leather steering and 2 tone paintwork.

I dunno why the salesman tell you that. That is the auto start stop button. If you dun want it you can press to disable it.

Thanks Zaskarace...

I did test this button. When in traffic light, if enable this button, in the screen I can see the green A-off sign appeared and motor rpm is zero, which means engine auto off.

then I pushed this button, engine started again and the green A-off sign disappeared.

B4 buying this Honda Fit, I drove Mazda5, it only has one button like this. Engine auto-off when car stop, it created a lot of glitching feel when stepping gas again. So, i always turn it off when driving.

I don’t know why Honda Fit have two similar buttons for this purpose. Any diff purpose to have two buttons to save gas?

i think the sale person never study the function, so to be saved just said "dont touch".. 🙂

I wonder which one would sell better. Petrol or hybrid. Hmmm. 

[Winningeleven]

Quite interesting to see sg has that exclusive 1.5 petrol engine for the 1.5 jazz that made in japan.

in japan, petrol only for the 1.3. Even china also has the 1.5 petrol but is made in china. 

like to know  whether the is 1.5 petrol comes with the honda sensing found in the hybrid model

From the brochure, only the hybrid version has Honda sensing.

Wow the eHEV model here chunks out 126PS? other countries all 109PS leh including Japan.  Wondering how they tune it for another 16PS. Different electric motor used or is it a marketing gimmick?

I think they could have tune up to 129BHP. 
 

Honda Accord using same 1.5T engine as civic. So technically it can be tuned upwards. Same for downwards also.

jazz petrol https://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=12811

jazz hybrid https://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=12816

how come sgcarmart already have the info but kah website still nothing? looking at the price the hybrid is more worth it. only hybrid comes with honda sensing. petrol variants dont even have auto head light. at 100k none comes with electric seats.

The 2 buttons are for fuel saving using different approach 

ECON mode will artificially limit the power when driving. For my Steppiewhich is also a Honda, this mode will make it hard to rev beyond 2000rpm. The car will accelerate very gently and slowly despite flooding the pedal. It will not cut off engine. I turn it off permanently as cannot stand the lame power.

I-Stop mode only check battery condition if possible to turn off engine when car is stopped to save fuel. Aircon might not be giving cold air under certain situation. Engine and aircon components might need to be replaced earlier than scheduled due to more wear-and-tear.

1.5 especially made for sg? sure ? Since when SG market is so important to Honda?  

 I am referring the 1.5 petrol version model for sg. not concern about whether sg market  is important or not

It was never heard of until the kah motor announced it and is a japan made . 

This Singapore petrol 1.5 is different from the 1.5 petrol new honda fit in China and it seem It is basically the same GK5 engine put into the new jazz, the hp is 130,

Sg new 1.5 petrol is 118 bhp

thanks for the explanation. I thought living in SG with shorting driving from point to point, we don't really need a very powerful engine. 1.3L is not enough? 

Hearsay Honda Japan has no intention to export the 1.3 Fit under Jazz nameplate, which is very odd since they have been doing so for the past Jazz generations. I think if Kah could import Jazz 1.3, they will definitely do so since the likely VES Band A rebate will make the pricing attractive like the previous gen GK Jazz 1.3. Take a look at 4th gen Fit 1.3 brought in by PIs, at least 10k cheaper than Jazz 1.5 Basic, foresee more will be buying from PIs.

Engine should exactly be the same as worldwide model. Most probably the approved lta tested ps for coe banding. So effective PS below 130 so cat A. 👍
