The new Honda Jazz is built to take on Swift and Getz. Masahiro Takedagawa chairman and CEO of Honda Siel Cars India has already implied that the companys small cars would be positioned to fit into the lower excise duty bracket. Small cars with a certain specification of engine capacity and length attract lower tax of 16 percent as against 24 percent for bigger cars as per the excise duty structure. The Jazz might come with a 1.5litre diesel engine in order to draw excise benefits. Honda is traditionally known for pricing its product on the higher side. But auto analysts say that the Japanese manufacturer will have to change its stand as it treads into the compact segment.

PriceWaterhouse partner Abdul Majeed said that the B and the B segment cars do not give high margin. But according to him to be able to make money in these segments any auto maker would have to price its products aggressively to catch big volumes.

The Jazz is likely to sport a price tag of Rs 4.65.6 lakh to draw big volumes in the segment given the competition from Getz and Swift. While Jazz will hit the Indian roads in 2009 another small car from the Honda stable which is designed for the Indian market will be launched in the country from that time on. This model would be launched one level lower in the Bsegment and would rival with the likes of Hyundai Santro Tata Indica and Maruti Wagon R.
