Our Sports DNA

Our Sports DNA

 “If Honda does not race, there is no Honda. Racing improves the breed.” – Soichiro Honda.

To this day, our founder’s thinking remains a driving force behind the Honda brand. Honda has showcased our sports pedigree in everything from Formula 1 to the 1992 unveiling of the legendary Type R.

Across the Sports DNA range, Honda gives everyday drivers a taste of this exciting racing heritage – always with the joy of driving at the forefront.

Reserved only for Honda’s top models, the Mugen badge signals something truly exceptional.  This spirited hatchback fuses the Jazz RS and the legendary Mugen Sports performance brand created in 1973 by Soichiro Honda’s son, Hirotoshi. 

Every detail showcases its racetrack pedigree: from exclusive Mugen bumpers and side skirts to blacked-out headlight rings and aggressive front splitter with faux side air intakes. Inside, grey ultra-suede anti-fatigue seats with yellow stitching give both comfort and class.

Three selectable drive modes – Econ, Normal, and Sports – take the pleasure of driving up a notch. With custom sport suspension and tailored engine tuning on the e:HEV electrified hybrid powertrain, the Jazz RS Mugen delivers an exhilarating drive.
