What are the correct tyre pressures for your Honda Jazz?

By Stuart Johnston

Honda’s Jazz was launched here back in 2003 and is now in its third generation in South Africa. Highly prized as a practical and reliable mini MPV, it is well-worth keeping a Jazz’s tyres pumped correctly. Here we list the correct pressures for all current variants.

The Honda Jazz was launched here in 2003 and it had two major attributes at the time. These were its incredible loading versatility,  largely thanks to seats that could fold absolutely flat, and also its low fuel consumption. Only in time did it emerge that the Honda Jazz was also one of the most reliable cars on South African roads.

Second Generation

The second generation Jazz, launched in 2008, gave us more of the same and thanks to a slightly longer wheelbase, loading length inside the car with its seats flat was an incredible 2,4 metres.  The next-generation Jazz was launched in 2015 and is still current, but the Sport model was added in early 2018.

The 2019 line-up

The Honda Jazz is currently available in four different models. These are the Trend, Comfort, Elegance and Sport. The Trend and Comfort models use a 1,2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine, whereas the Elegance and Sport models use 1,5-litre engines. The Sport boasts some stylish aerodynamic aids reminiscent of the award-winning Civic Type R and also has a highly-tuned engine delivering 97 kW. Unfortunately it is only available with a CVT gearbox. For a comprehensive review on the Honda Jazz Sport , click here .

Tyre and wheel sizes

The Trend model comes with steel wheels and hubcaps, whereas Comfort and Elegance models are fitted with alloy wheels as standard. All these models handily run  the same tyre sizes which are 175/65 R15s. The Sport has bigger 16-inch wheels finished in black and these run tyres  sized at 195/55 R16.

A tyre inflation sticker is located in the door jam on the driver’s side of the Honda Jazz, with the correct pressures for your particular model.
