Honda Jazz Removed From Site - These 3 Magic Seats Features Made It A Favourite | V3Cars

Along with the 4th-gen City and the WRV, Honda also discontinued the Jazz and removed it from their official Indian website. While most people flocked to the Baleno and and i20, the Jazz held a special place in people’s hearts and shortlist. The ‘magic seats’ feature made it immensely practical and indispensable for some buyers. Here are 3 flexible modes of the Jazz with magic seats.

It’s worth noting that the old Jazz offered these magic seats in all variants. With the update, Honda reserved this feature only for the top VX variant. After a while, Honda removed this feature from Jazz altogether, making it just another hatchback with fewer features than its rivals.

1. Refresh Mode

You need to remove the front seat headrests, slide them all the way forward and then recline them. Once done, you get a flat-ish ottoman-like seat for the rear seat occupant. Now, you could do this with both seats, but when you’re travelling alone with the chauffeur, this mode could even make you consider skipping a 25.0 lakh rupee car for the Jazz. It makes the cabin experience extremely luxurious for buyers who mostly travel alone with the driver.

Once the front seat was reclined out of the way, refresh-mode even made it possible to carry long objects like long pieces of furniture or musical instruments very easily.

2. Tall Mode

The seat bases of the Jazz could fold up to make room for tall objects, which you can’t lay down. For example, while carrying a plant, a piece of artwork, sporting equipment, furniture, lamps, etc., this mode is perfect. No other hatchback offers this flexibility

3. Utility Mode

In utility mode, you fold the rear seatbacks down and that expanded the already-large cargo space from 354 litres to a humongous 881 litres. Its flat boot floor made it easy to slide large objects like a refrigerator or a washing machine into the boot. The large opening of the boot lid made it possible to think of doing something crazy like this in the first place.

It’s unclear if the Jazz nameplate will ever come back to the Indian market. Even the recently-discontinued Jazz came back after leaving a healthy gap of several years after the first one was discontinued. In my opinion, the new-generation international-spec Jazz is a little too quirky for the Indian market. Do you think Honda should bring this new Jazz to India? Let us know in the comments section.
