Honda did not initially have high expectations for the Honda Jazz and Honda Fit, but this model would become one of the Japanese brand's best-selling models. Although its success was mainly in Japan, at the time of writing more than 20,000 units have also been sold in the Netherlands. If you own a Jazz and need a windscreen replacement, you can find a new Honda Jazz windscreen for as little as €349 with us. Before we tell you how we can offer our automotive glass so cheaply, let's take a look at Honda's success story.
But let's start with the fact that “Honda Jazz” is a recipe for confusion. In fact, there are five different motor vehicles that have been marketed under this name, namely:
This page is about the fifth vehicle of this name, namely the Honda Jazz produced from 2001 onwards and still in production.
The Honda Jazz is a small car launched in 2001, called the Honda Fit in Japan. The model was fairly quickly exported all over the world, with the exception of America. There, people had to wait 5 years, as the Jazz did not hit the market in North America and Canada until 2006.
The first generation of the Honda Jazz was placed on the Global Small Car Platform and there was a choice of four different engines, all based on Honda's own L-series.
Actually, this model would not be called “Jazz”. The idea was to market this Honda as a Fitta in Japan and keep this name for worldwide export. Fortunately, the Japanese found out fairly quickly that this was not a good plan, as in several Scandinavian languages (including Swedish), fitta is street slang for vagina. Therefore, Honda decided to call the model Fit in Japan and use “Jazz” for the rest of the world.
The first generation was given the full type name “Honda Mark II Jazz” in Europe, even though it was the first generation. The reason was that “Mark I” (generation 1) had already been used for the Honda City, which had to be renamed because of Opel.
With the second generation that came out in 2007, the model grew in width and length and significantly more engines came on offer. Not a surprising choice, as the Honda Fit and Honda Jazz had become much more popular than Honda thought when they were introduced, which meant there was work to be done in setting up the second generation. Honda additionally chose to make a hybrid version as early as 2010, but it would only be marketed in Japan. From this would come the all-electric Honda Fit EV in 2013, which would also only be sold domestically. Incidentally, this also applied to the station version of the model, which was named the Honda Fit Shuttle.
The third generation was a bit of a bummer for those outside Japan, as the hybrid and station did not make it to export. We did see a much tighter Jazz placed on the new platform, which mainly meant more legroom, more space for all occupants and stronger material (reinforced steel). Incidentally, this platform was shared with the second-generation Honda HR-V.
The biggest changes were seen in the hybrid version, which was still only available in Japan and Malaysia. The biggest change here was that the new hybrid could run fully electric (and thus did not need an internal combustion engine), which allowed it to compete with the Toyota Prius.
In 2017 came a facelift for the Honda Fit and Honda Jazz, with new bumpers and LED headlights with built-in daytime running lights.
For the fourth generation, Honda decided to take a different approach: the new Honda Fit and Honda Jazz were shown to the public simultaneously in Japan and the Netherlands, respectively. The only versions that would come to Europe were the electric (hybrid) models, in line with Honda's plan to accelerate the switch to electric driving (at least for the European market).
The fourth generation never came to North America. There, the model was withdrawn from production because sales were disappointing and the Honda HR-V was supposed to take over the market there.
Honda hoped to sell about 8,000 units a month when the Honda Fit was introduced, but saw that by December 2021, the Fit was already more popular than the Toyota Corolla and even became the best-selling car in Japan in 2002, a first for Honda. In fact, by December 2004, combined sales of the Honda Fit and Honda Jazz had already exceeded 1 million, and this success continued to build. By mid-2010, the counter already stood at 3.5 million and it was clear that this was an unprecedented success for Honda.
Honda is known for cheap cars and very mediocre advertisements. For the Jazz, only one of those things is true, as the marketing team came up with Village Green, something that became a huge success and was talked about a lot by people who had seen the advertisement, something that contributed greatly to its popularity. You can watch the Village Green advertisement of the Honda Jazz for yourself (again) below.
There are strict rules regarding the condition of the windscreen, especially when it comes to the driver's field of vision. After all, that's where you want to have a clear view, so you can see everything clearly while driving. This is also directly why the windscreen of your Honda Jazz should be replaced when there is a branched crack or a chip with a diameter of 20 millimetres or more in the driver's field of vision.
In all other cases, you may choose to continue driving with the damaged windscreen, although your choice may just change when you see how cheap our Honda Jazz windscreens are.
In fact, you already have a new windscreen for your Honda Jazz for €349 and that includes VAT (and excludes the cost of delivery and/or fitting). Although our windscreens are much cheaper than the original automotive glass for the Jazz, the quality is identical. The car windows are made in exactly the same way, but because our replacement windscreens do not have a brand logo that ensures exclusivity, the price is many times lower.
The price difference is so great that our new windscreens are often still cheaper than second-hand automotive glass, making it immediately clear that with us you can always count on the best value for money.
You save big by opting for our new Honda Jazz windscreens. If you think it is a good idea to replace the windscreen yourself to save even more, we would like to remind you. If you make a small mistake when replacing your Honda Jazz windscreen, it can cause the car or the new windscreen to be damaged. This will actually increase the cost and this will also only make it take longer before you can take your Jazz back on the road.
That is why we work with professional fitting partners who replace car windows on-site throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. This way, you can be sure that the windscreen will be replaced correctly and that you will soon be able to hit the road again with an intact, clean windscreen.

We deliver not only to individuals, but also to garages and workshops, with owners often even choosing to collect their order from us (by appointment).
