Honda introduced the Fit/Jazz on the market in 2001 as an alternative for the small-segment MPVs and sold it under Fit in Japan, China, and in the U.S. and as Jazz everywhere else.
With an increased need for small vehicles that could carry more than a regular small-segment hatchback, Honda thought it might have the answer and offered the Fit/Jazz starting with 2001. Previously, the Japanese carmaker had a few tryouts to build small-segment minivans, and some of them worked well.
This time, Honda designers made the car looks like a bullet or at least half of it. Its narrow, sloped front area looked like the entire car evolved from the front bumper's base. The triangular headlights followed the car's shape. On its sides, between the A-pillars and the door-frame, the carmaker installed a small window. Thanks to a slightly ascending beltline, the Fit/Jazz didn't look that dull. An additional glass-area found its place between the rear doors and the D-pillars. From behind, the Fit/Jazz shown a set of triangular(ish) taillights that flanked the deep tailgate.
Inside, it was surprisingly spacious and offered enough room for five adults. Though, the carmaker installed only two headrests for the rear seats. The Fit/Jazz made room for up to 1323 liters (46.72 cu-ft) by folding down the rear bench.
Under the hood, Honda installed only two engine choices of 1.2-liter and 1.4-liter, which didn't offer too much power, but provided an excellent fuel-efficiency.
