Why Was the Honda Jade Discontinued?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons for the discontinuation of the Honda Jade: 1. Powertrain: The discontinuation of the Jade is related to its six-year low sales performance. In terms of powertrain, the current Jade is equipped with a 1.8L/1.5T engine paired with a 5MT/CVT transmission, delivering maximum power outputs of 141Ps and 156Ps respectively. This performance is not outstanding, and there were later issues with oil dilution. 2. Features: The Jade's features also fail to keep up with current automotive market trends. It lacks functions such as parking sensors, rearview cameras, and cruise control, which are standard in competing models. Additionally, the new Jade only offers a five-seat version, making it less competitive in terms of both features and powertrain compared to other joint-venture and domestic models in the same price range.
