For 2017 Honda has added several improvements to both the Honda Odyssey and Honda Jazz.
The top selling VTi-L variant of the Odyssey gets a visual upgrade in the form of a new front fascia with dark chrome upper grill, black three-bar lower grille and darkened headlight housings while the windows in the second row, third row and tailgate now come with privacy glass.
Inside ISOFIX compatible anchorage points for child restraint systems have been added to the second row seats and both the VTi and VTi-L have increased storage solutions with the addition of split-pocket storage pockets on the rear of the driver and passenger seats. The color palette has been updated with Premium Spice Purple Pearlescent taking the place of Carnelian Red Pearlescent.

On the Jazz front Honda have fitted a set of 15″ five point twin-swept-spoke design alloy wheels as standard on the Jazz VTi rolling on 175/65 R15 tyres. There’s been no increase to the Manufacturer’s List Price of $14,990 for the manual variant while the CVT will come in at $16,990.
“The Honda Jazz continues to be one of the most popular models in the Honda line-up,” said Honda Australia Director, Mr. Stephen Collins.
“It very much embodies Honda’s ‘man maximum, machine minimum’ philosophy, offering one of the most spacious and flexible interiors of any Light segment vehicle on the market courtesy of its ingenious Magic Seats.
Coupled with other segment-leading features such as LED projector beam headlights, LED tail lights and a multi-angle reversing camera, the addition of alloy wheels on Jazz VTi will ensure it remains one of the best equipped, best value Light cars on the market.”
