Here in the United States we know it as the Honda Fit; an efficient and modest hatchback. But overseas, it's known as the Honda Jazz, and it's quickly gaining a reputation of its own as a fierce driving machine that simply demands attention. How can Dayton Toyota possibly be talking about the same vehicle? Simple. Honda has recently revealed an all-new Si trim of the Fit/Jazz to the public.
If you know anything about the Si trim and Honda, chances are you're already wondering when it's going to be available here at 2291 US Route 130, S. Brunswick, NJ 08810. And if you don't? We'll take a minute to explain...
When Honda makes a Sport Injected (Si) trim for a vehicle, they don't do so lightly. They make sure to infuse it with the style and performance that you'd expect. And for the Jazz Si, this means new dampers, a larger front anti-roll bar, a modified electric power steering system, and a slew of upgrades to its exterior and interior.
Outside, these upgrades include a new body kit, 16-inch wheels, and low-profile tires. Inside, it features black and silver supportive seats and a sporty leather-trimmed steering wheel. And under the hood? The Honda Jazz Si features its usual 1.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine, which sports 98 horsepower and 94 lb.-ft. of torque. Not the most impressive powerplant, perhaps, but keep in mind the fact that Honda takes the Si badge a little more seriously here in the United States than it does in other countries. For proof, look no further than the Honda Civic Si. In other words, Honda will likely upgrade the engine of the Fit Si, should they opt to release it here in the United States.
