The Honda Jazz might be a small car, but it is going to play a big role in Honda's goal of increasing sales by 18 percent by the end of the 2017 fiscal year.
In this time, production of the subcompact will commence in Mexico, and sales of the car are expected to swell to 200,000 units annually thanks to an expanded model lineup.
Joining the current hatchback model, Honda is planning to use the Jazz as the basis for a new sedan and crossover, although it isn't clear whether or not the cars will wear the Jazz nameplate. According to Automotive News, various sources have confirmed that the new bodystyles will be made at the new Mexican plant. Adding a sedan would allow the Jazz to better compete against rival cars like the Ford Fiesta, Nissan Versa, Chevrolet Sonic and Hyundai Accent, while the new crossover would give a unique product in the ever-growing B-segment.
