Honda will soon be entering the small car market in India with Jazz a.k.a. Fit in some areas in the premium hatchback segment. This would directly compete with Suzuki Swift and the Hyundai Getz and also Fabia. 
The Jazz is also expected to provide a better mileages than both the Getz and the Swift and will be priced slightly higher.
In its current form, the Jazz comes with a dashboard that looks like that of the Civic but makes do without the digital speedo. Also do not expect steering mounted controls that you see here. Ergonomically designed dash makes life better behind the wheel and the quality is not comprmised upon either. Lots of cubby holes and storage areas make it a great utility offering.
Jazz is likely to sport a price tag of Rs 4.6-5.6 lakh to draw big volumes in the segment. While Jazz will hit the Indian roads in early 2009 or late 2008, another small car from the Honda stable, designed for the Indian market, will be launched in the country thereafter. This model would be launched one notch lower in the B-segment and would compete with the likes of Hyundai Santro, Tata Indica and Maruti Wagon R.
