The new Honda Jazz e: HEV received a maximum rating of five stars in the safety tests of Euro NCAP, and with their next session additional, even stricter requirements come into force. Jazz has a new technological structure of its body and its standard equipment includes an extremely rich package of active safety technologies and driver assistants. The combination of carefully upgraded active and passive safety techniques confirms its reputation as one of the safest passenger cars.
Available only with a hybrid drivetrain, the new Jazz is the first Honda model in Europe to be equipped with a front central airbag as standard. It is located in the rear of the driver's seat and unfolds in the space between the driver and the front row passenger, thus preventing the possibility of their heads colliding in a side impact.

NEW HONDA JAZZ e:HEV SCORES TOP MARKS UNDER TOUGH NEW EURO NCAP STANDARDS
Available only with a hybrid drivetrain, the new Jazz is the first Honda model in Europe to be equipped with a front central airbag as standard. It is located in the rear of the driver’s seat and unfolds in the space between the driver and the front row passenger, thus preventing the possibility of their heads colliding in a side impact.
In order to ensure the precise positioning of the airbag so that when opened it provides maximum protection, it is secured with three connections that lead it around the driver in a curved trajectory. To make this possible, its module is designed to fit in the upper part of the driver’s seat pad.
The new front center cushion is combined with seat belt pretensioners for the driver and front passenger to reduce the likelihood of sideways movement. Both are additionally protected from increased in height central armrest. This innovative approach is able to significantly reduce head injuries for all passengers.
The center airbag is one of ten installed in the Jazz e: HEV, including a side i-side system for the rear seats. This two-component structure is located in the rear seat pad and is activated to protect occupants from impact in the doors or C-pillars in the event of a side impact. It is compact in size to make room for Honda’s unique “magic seat” system, which has become a business card of Jazz.
