Check out our comparison of the Hyundai i20 vs the Honda Jazz in terms of engine specs and price.

Engine specifications Hyundai i20 vs Honda Jazz
In India, the Hyundai i20 comes with a variety of engine options. A 1.2-litre normally aspirated engine and a 1.0-litre turbocharged engine are among the petrol engine options. A 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine is also available as an option.

| Transmission | 5-speed MT, CVT (1.2L) / 6-speed iMT, 7-speed DCT (1.0L) | 5-speed MT, CVT |
Currently, the Honda Jazz has only one engine option. The 1.2-litre NA petrol engine is free-revving and provides enough power to be enjoyable. The lack of a diesel (or CNG) alternative, on the other hand, puts it well behind its Hyundai rival.

The Honda Jazz is available with either a 5-speed manual or a CVT transmission. The 1.2L petrol Hyundai i20 also comes with the same transmission options: a 5-speed manual and a CVT. The premium Hyundai hatchback's 1.0L petrol variant is far more fascinating, with a choice of a 6-speed iMT (clutchless manual) or a 7-speed DCT transmission. However, the i20 diesel only comes with a 6-speed manual transmission.
