There are 100,000 Honda Jazz in the country since the model was first introduced in Malaysia in 2003, with Mr. Kelvin from Negeri Sembilan being the lucky owner of that production milestone Jazz. Kelvin was handed the vehicle in a ceremony to celebrate that occasion at Ban Lee Heng Motor Sdn. Bhd. Seremban.

The Honda Jazz first came to Malaysia in CBU form with the compact hatchback managing to achieve a sales figure of 18,000 units. It took a while before the Jazz was locally assembled and in 2012 and 2013 respectively, Honda Malaysia started to produce the Jazz Hybrid and Petrol before it continued to become the most sought-after model in the segment. The current 3rd generation Jazz which was launched in Malaysia in 2014 posts a sales performance of over 75,000 units as of May 2019. Today, the Jazz commands 62 per cent of the non-national compact hatchback market.

With such promising and solid sales performance, perhaps it is only fitting that Malaysia holds the honour of being the only country outside Japan which, so far, has the Jazz Hybrid variant available for sale.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Toichi Ishiyama said, “We celebrated the 130,000th customer for Civic last month and with the Jazz today, we have recorded another important milestone. We want to thank all 100,000 Jazz customers for their unwavering support in making this milestone possible.”

As for the milestone 100,000 unit of Jazz which was delivered to Kelvin, the latter also was given a complete “Protection Package” specially offered by Honda Malaysia. This package comprises of Ultra Body Coating, Ultra Window Coating, and Wheel Lock Nut which was tested and approved by Honda Access in Japan, an authorised genuine brand for Honda Accessories.

The package will also be made available at all authorised Honda Malaysia dealership starting 1 July onwards. Additionally, Kelvin will also be receiving a complimentary Mugen accessory package as a token of appreciation from Honda Malaysia.
