Recently we broke the news that Honda is working on the Jazz facelift. The facelift will come up upgraded BS6 engines and minor tweaks to the profile of the hatchback. It will get tweaked exterior and interior design and some added features like LED headlights, new infotainment system and minor update to the upholstery design. We expect the new model will be launched right after the lockdown and the prices will see a significant amount of hike.

The second unit from the Honda line-up is the facelifted WR-V. We know it's a crossover but people confuse it with the hatchback sometimes. It is mostly known for its quirky design and abundance features. This is another choice if you were to buy an affordable hatchback with a diesel engine. It powers the same unit as seen on the Amaze, Jazz and upcoming City.

Well, we are talking about the next-gen i20 which is yet to come to our shores. Packed by a 1.5L unit which is also seen n Creta, this will be rather a de-tuned version. It is seen on the Venue too. The new i20 will pack in new features and comes with the latest bit of features and technology. It will rival with Tata Altroz, Maruti Baleno, Honda Jazz and Toyota Glanza.
