The tested model of HONDA JAZZ was introduced in 2003. Dual front airbags are standard equipment. ABS brakes are also standard.
The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point seat belt.
The HONDA JAZZ scored 9.95 out of 16 in the offset crash test. The passenger compartment held its shape reasonably well. Protection from serious chest and leg injury was marginal for the driver.
The vehicle scored 15.69 out of 16 in the side impact crash test. There was a slight risk of serious abdomen injury for the driver.

The passenger compartment held its shape well except that the front part of the driver's floor was pushed rearwards 158mm. The brake pedal moved rearwards by 92mm and upwards 27mm, relative to the driver’s seat. The dash moved 41mm towards the driver. The steering wheel hub moved rearwards 76mm, upwards 35mm and sideways 18mm, relative to the driver’s seat. The front ("A") pillar moved 82mm rearwards. The width of the driver's doorway shortened by 72mm. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash high manual effort was required to open the driver's door. This door locked during the impact.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. Steering column components were a potential source of injury for the driver's knees. The passenger's head was cushioned by the airbag.
The 3yo child dummy in the rear seat experienced a much higher chest deceleration than is typical in this type of test. This suggests an increased risk of injury and it might result from a relatively stiff vehicle body.
The score generated from driver dummy data may be modified where the protection for different sized occupants or occupants in different seating positions, or accidents of slightly different severity, can be expected to be worse than that indicated by the dummy readings or deformation data alone. In any single body region, the score may reduce by up to a maximum of two points.

The vehicle was not eligible for a Pole Impact Test since it did not have head-protecting side airbags. This test can earn eligible vehicles an extra two points.
Door Opening during the Impact
When a door opens in a side barrier test or a pole test, a minus one-point modifier will be applied to the score for that test. A one-point modifier will be applied for every door (including the tailgate) that opens.
Door Opening Forces after the Impact
A check is made to ensure that the doors on the non-struck side can be opened. The doors on the struck side are not opened.
Overall Pedestrian rating 15.02 points out of 36.
