The Honda Jazz just got a new color.

Additional to the Honda Jazz palette is the hue called Lunar Silver Metallic, a color emanating a tastefully upscale appeal that befits the pioneer in the subcompact hatchback segment. The Lunar Silver Metallic color option will be offered on all Jazz variants—the 1.5 V MT, the 1.5 V CVT, the 1.5 VX CVT, and the 1.5 VX+ CVT.

Versatility and performance complement the style of the Jazz Lunar Silver Metallic. All variants carries the patented ULTR Seat that lends a flexible and generously spaced interior. The ULTR seat can be adjusted to four modes depending on passenger and cargo hauling needs—Utility, Long, Tall, and Refresh (ULTR) Modes:

· Utility Mode – with the ULTR seat folded flat, the Jazz can carry two passengers as well as large items

· Long Mode – with the ULTR seat folded flat and the front passenger seat reclined all the way back, the Jazz can carry two passengers and a long item with a maximum length of 226cm

· Tall Mode – with the ULTR seat folded up, the Jazz can carry up to three passengers as well as tall items with a maximum height of 100cm in the second row

· Refresh Mode – with the front seats reclined all the way back to connect with the rear seats, the Jazz allows both the driver and the passenger to lounge and relax inside the car

Performance remains uncompromised since the Jazz is powered by a refined 1.5 liter i-VTEC engine that delivers a maximum power output of 120 ps at 6,600 rpm. The engine is mated to either a 5-speed Manual Transmission or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) developed under Honda Earth Dreams Technology for a powerful yet fuel-efficient driving performance.

Besides having innovative and high-performance features, the Jazz trumps the competition in the field of fuel-efficiency. In the Department of Energy (DOE) Euro 4 Fuel Economy Run held earlier this year, the Jazz 1.5 VX CVT gathered a 28.6 km/L efficiency rating, the highest among other Honda entries and the best in class among subcompact hatchbacks. This is attributed to the Jazz’s ECO Assist System which consists of the ECON Mode that controls the engine, drive-by-wire, transmission, and air-conditioning to optimize fuel consumption, and the Eco Coach Ambient Light that changes color to indicate throttle input and promote fuel-efficient driving.

The Jazz 1.5 VX CVT and 1.5 VX+ CVT variants are also integrated with advanced features such as a 7-inch Touch Screen Display Audio, Hands-free Telephone (HFT) and Audio Streaming via Bluetooth Connectivity, as well as Touch Panel Auto Aircon that all add a premium appeal to the dashboard. Auxiliary, USB, and HDMI ports are available for passengers to connect and mirror their smart phones on the display audio with ease. Both Jazz variants are equipped with a Smart Key with Push Start System for added convenience to the driver.

Like other Honda vehicles, the Jazz is packed with safety technology for the peace of mind of its occupants. All Jazz variants come standard with Driver and Front Passenger SRS Airbags and Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). Additional features like Hill Start Assist (HSA), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) are offered in the 1.5 VX CVT and 1.5 VX+ CVT variants, plus Side Airbags and Side Curtain Airbags for the 1.5 VX+ CVT.

HCPI is now accepting reservations for the Jazz Lunar Silver Metallic with the following suggested retail prices:
· 1.5 VX+ CVT – Php 968,000
· 1.5 VX CVT – Php 928,000
· 1.5 V CVT – Php 828,000

Manila Launch: All-New Audi A4 now more powerful, efficient and intelligent

The latest premium executive sedan of Audi, All-new A4, make its debut in the country which is more powerful, more efficient and more intelligent.

Elegantly looking with its horizontal lines yet a hint of sportiness, the All-new A4 is powered by a 2.0-liter, inline-4 turbocharged diesel engine which delivers 150 hp and 320 Nm of torque and housed with a lightweight construction. Mated to a 7-speed, S tronic dual-clutch transmission, the all-new, front-wheel drive A4 2.0 TDI S tronic runs the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 8.7 seconds, and goes on to a top speed of 220 km/h.

The chassis and the steering system filter out unwanted car movements brought about by road imperfections, but in the process, still offer feedback to the driver through the 3-spoke, leather-wrapped, multi-function sports steering wheel with shift paddles.

This advancement in performance is based on the newly-developed five-link suspension and power steering system. Extremely lightweight, they lay the foundation for the dynamic behavior and first-class ride comfort of the all-new A4, and at the same time, reduce fuel consumption.

Interior wise, the fully-digital instrument cluster shows the vehicle informations and technology through a its high-resolution 12.3-inch LCD screen with brilliant resolution, a high level of detail, and carefully designed effects.

Operation has also become even more intuitive with Audi drive select and the new Audi MMI Navigation Plus. Located on the center console, the MMI control has been redesigned, and serves as the main control element. A touchpad is integrated in the MMI control panel for the infotainment system, which is composed of the MMI Navigation Plus with MMI Touch, and a 7-inch multimedia interface.

Safety features and assistance technologies are dual front airbags, front side airbags and full curtain airbags, while park assist, parking aid plus, service indicator, and flat tire indicator.

The all-new Audi A4 2.0 TDI S tronic is a true winner in its class. In terms of design and technology, it stands out with its sporty, yet balanced, character.

Alongside the all-new Audi A4 2.0 TDI S tronic, Audi Philippines has also presented the new Audi A7 3.0 TFSI quattro S-Line, and the new Audi Q3.

The Sportback in the local Audi lineup, the new Audi A7 3.0 TFSI quattro S-Line is propelled by a 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine that delivers 333 hp and 440 Nm of torque, which is coursed through a 7-speed, S tronic dual-clutch transmission and quattro all-wheel drive. This powerhouse brings the car from a standstill to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds, and to a top speed of 250 km/h. The new Audi A7 boasts of Audi drive select and new LED headlights and taillights, and being an S-Line, has sportier bumpers and a rear diffuser, and is wrapped in 265/35 R20 tires for that aggressive-yet-sleek look.

For the Ingolstadt-based carmaker’s fighter in the small premium SUV segment, the new Audi Q3 is powered by a 1.4 TFSI engine that offers 150 hp and 250 Nm of torque. The engine features the highly-innovative cylinder on demand (COD) system, which reduces fuel consumption by up to 20 percent when the Q3 is driven moderately. At low to moderate load and engine speed, COD deactivates cylinders two and three by closing the valves, and shutting off fuel injection. The engine runs as a two-cylinder engine until the driver presses down harder on the gas pedal. This front-wheel drive SUV has a six-speed, S tronic dual-clutch transmission that helps it go from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, and to a top speed of 204 km/h. It features a new hexagonal grille, as well as new LED daytime running lights and taillights.

Both refreshed, the new Audi A7 and Audi Q3 represent the four-ringed brand’s never-ending pursuit of advancement through technology.
