HONDA'S Jazz has achieved the first three-star pedestrian safety rating for the supermini class of Phase 14 of the Euro NCAP crash test results.

Achieving top marks in pedestrian safety puts Jazz alongside Honda's Stream, Accord, CR-V and the Civic - which was the pioneer in the field and the first-ever vehicle to achieve three stars.

In addition, the Jazz has the best overall performance for combined safety in the class, with four-star occupant protection, three-star pedestrian protection and a three-star child seat rating. In common with all new Honda models, ISOFIX child seat anchors are provided, the Jazz installation additionally benefiting from top tether mounts for additional stability.
