When it comes to buying a car, size matters, and the Honda Jazz knows that. The latest generation of the Honda Jazz, with its 1526 mm height, is intended for people who like a commanding view of the road and also appreciate easy ingress and egress. So, put away the stilts, pull up a chair, and let's dive deep into the Jazz's ever-changing height in the automotive world.
Throughout its generations, the Honda Jazz has seen its height fluctuate, starting with the first generation (1984-1986) which stood at 1470 mm tall. The second generation (2002-2004) saw a significant increase with a height of 1525 mm, which remained consistent through the facelift (2004-2008). The third generation (2008-2011) retained the same height, increasing trunk size with rear seats folded from 1323 to 1341 liters. The fourth generation (2015-2017) maintained the 1525 mm height but decreased the trunk size to 1314 liters. Finally, the current fifth generation (2023-now) Jazz stands tall at an even greater 1526 mm with a bit smaller 1205 liters of trunk space when the rear seats are folded down.

When comparing to smaller models like the Honda e (1512 mm) and the Civic (1408 mm), the Jazz ends up being the taller sibling.

Venturing into the rivals' territory, the Jazz has a taller stance than the Citroen C3 (1474 mm) and the Hyundai i20 (1450 mm) but falls short when compared to the likes of the Peugeot 2008 (1530 mm) and the Mitsubishi ASX (1640 mm). When it comes to length, the Jazz does upend the Citroen C3 with a longer wheelbase (3996 vs. 2539 mm).
