Honda is hitting the high notes on International Jazz Day with a unique duet between sounds created by its award-winning Jazz e:HEV and renowned, award-winning saxophonist, Otis Lawrence.

By capturing the car’s seat mechanism, fuel filler cap opening, and remote key fob, plus its doors, bonnet, and windows being opened and closed, the maestros at Honda have carefully arranged a backing track to accompany Otis and his saxophone – creating a one-off performance that is sure to strike a chord with Jazz fans around the world.

Nik Pearson, General Manager of Corporate Communications at Honda Motor Europe commented: “With its style, sophistication and famed reliability, the Honda Jazz is the perfect bandmate for Otis and his saxophone. Since embarking on its European tour over 20 years ago, the Jazz has built up a dedicated fanbase and received a chorus of strong reviews – this is therefore a fitting musical tribute to our very own chart-topper.”

Honda Jazz e:HEV

With its combination of space, efficiency and technology, the Honda Jazz e:HEV is packed with sax appeal. Now in its fourth generation, the hybrid model is one of the brand’s most successful ever, with almost 9 million global sales and more than 50 international awards since it launched in 2001. Available in four trim levels - Elegance, Advance, Crosstar and Sport Advance - the latest Jazz is the most advanced and practical model yet.

Instrumental in this success is an interior that provides unrivalled utility, practicality and functionality in a simple, ergonomic layout. There’s a class-leading 986mm of rear legroom, while rear Magic Seat configuration delivers both fold-flat or flip-up flexibility.

Like all Honda’s mainstream model range, the Jazz e:HEV also features a state-of-the-art electrified powertrain producing as little as 102 g/km (WLTP) and fuel economy of 4.5l/100km (WLTP).
