This Crosstar model is distinguished by a bespoke front and rear bumper, black garnishes around the front fog lights, a black fender, a black finish for the front grille and side sill garnishes. Plus there are silver-coloured door mirrors with integrated LED indicators. And you get roof rails. Along with that slightly higher 37mm ride height increase. And there's the option, unique to this variant, of 2-tone paint which gives you a gloss black roof, all in an attempt to introduce more of a Crossover vibe to this supermini. As with standard Jazz, this car is pretty compact, measuring in at about 4-metres in length.
Inside, the only real significant Crosstar change is the addition of water-repellent fabric upholstery. Plus you get a premium audio system. Otherwise it's just as it would be on an ordinary top spec 'EX'-grade Jazz model. There are wide 'body-stabilising' front seats supposed to reduce fatigue on longer journeys and the dash has a minimalist, uncluttered look. Its centre touchscreen has smartphone-style swipe technology and incorporates wireless 'Apple CarPlay'/'Android Auto' smartphone-mirroring. There's also a digital instrument cluster. Perhaps the best news though, is that Honda's clever 'Magic Seat' design remains in the rear, giving owners the option of either folding the rear bench flat or flipping up the seat bases to create a taller load space. Boot capacity is 298-litres with the rear seat in place - or 1,203-litres with it folded.
