Тестовые прототипы нового поколения хэтча, известного в России и Европе, как Jazz, а на других рынках – под именем Fit, попадались на глаза фотошпионам уже не раз за последний год. Точку в этой истории Honda поставит через месяц – на Токийском автосалоне, который состоится в конце октября.
Правда, пока производитель только подтвердил дату дебюта, не раскрыв никаких технических деталей и упомянув лишь "бескомпромиссное удобство" и "комфорт для пассажиров". Впрочем, за этот год в японскую прессу успело просочиться немало подробностей, в том числе и касательно планируемых силовых установок.
К примеру, известно, что Honda Fit для рынка Северной Америки продолжит оставаться бензиновой – ее снабдят новым 125-сильным турбомотором объемом 1 л. А вот с европейским "Джазом" ситуация будет иная. В рамках стратегии по отказу от загрязняющих атмосферу ДВС японцы планируют предлагать Jazz в Старом свете только с гибридной силовой установкой, характеристики которой пока держат в тайне.
Судя по фотографиям шпионских прототипов, можно предположить, что хэтч в целом сохранит привычный силуэт, но получит новое оформление передней части кузова с массивным бампером и выпуклыми фарами. Впрочем, до момента, когда Honda сдернет завесу тайны, осталось сравнительно немного.
К слову, на выставке в Токио японцы обещают представить еще и новое поколение седана Accord для домашнего рынка.
