Honda Jazz review - the BEST hybrid ever? | What Car?

[@Dogtagnan]

I don't want my car to be "exciting ". I want it to be safe, quiet, economical and reliable. Not to be a magnet for car thieves or a challenge to testosterone fuelled boy racers. That's the Jazz. All boxes ticked.

[@fabulously695]

its just stupidly expensive now, it rivals prices in the luxury small SUV market, at least in the uk and Europe. Its no longer comparable to the Yaris in price, but the CH-R or corolla cross, or Peugeot 3008

[@ianhackney5630]

I have owned one for three month's now. Very happy with the cars performance. I have achieved 67 mpg in September with warmer weather. Currently 58 mpg in colder weather as the engine runs more often especially in the morning on start up. As it is running to heat the heating system. If you switch off the heating the engine will stop. It is very comfortable and easy to drive and quiet running. Sometimes you buy a car and are not especially happy with the purchase, this certainly is not one of those. Well done Honda.

[@AndyfromSurrey]

I have a Toyota C-HR hybrid and find the mpg changes exactly like you mention depending on external temperature. Absolutely love the hybrid.

[@cocopopscoco]

That's awesome, what type of driving are you doing?

[@ianhackney5630]

I'm doing mixed local and distance

[@cocopopscoco]

@@ianhackney5630 Thank you, do you think your economy would be even better in summer if you only did below 50mph (only town driving)? I am considering it for only town driving..

[@ianhackney5630]

Yes I bought it in September so have no summer experience but going by temperature at the time I would imagine a better outcome in warm weather. However Aircon would come into the equation then. It is quite noticeable when you switch on at first in cold weather that the engine runs quite fast if however if you switch off the heating the engine will stop.

Scrolling through the comments , I was in agreement with most. The one that took my attention was the person who stated that Honda needs to push its marketing . I bought a 2023 Jazz Cross star two weeks ago and I am literally in love with it. I personally feel that this model car is unknown on the Italian market where I live. I can blow any FIAT out of the water...

[@XcaliburReborn]

I’m getting one soon. It’s been out since 2020 and I’ve only seen 3 on the road. People are missing a trick here. It’s a small car with massive room inside. Looks well built and designed and that hybrid motor is much better than toyota I’d argue. Engine is only a generator until 60mph+ where the engine locks into 1 gear equivalent to 6th gear and electric motor provides extra power when overtaking. All sub 60mph driving is done solely on electric motor. Which is why it’s quite fast for a small car doing 0-60 in 8.5 seconds. I got 9 seconds on my test drive but that was with three people in the car. No gears is bliss and it’s comfy. Can’t praise this car enough. Jack of all trade master of none - but better than a master of one comes to mind.

I bought a Jazz and one year I had to move 3 times, it was a blessing. Everyone couldn't believe just how much you can fit in there. It's a car you want for function and practicality. Pity there's no fully electric version, Honda e is way too smol.

[@johnbarcroft3104]

I’ve had my Jazz since September 2021 and couldn’t be more pleased. It has the smoothness of an electric vehicle, combined with the economy of a diesel, and the practicality of the interior is exceptional. For a small car, its ability to carry four people in comfort is superb. It is easy to drive around town and on the motorway, with plenty of torque available for bursts of acceleration when needed e.g. for safe overtaking on an A-road. I thought that my Golf with a small turbo-charged engine and DSG gearbox was close to perfection for my needs, but I honestly believe the Jazz trumps it.

Is it reliable ? Did it break ? Engine/transmision ? How many kilometerea did you make ?

Looks apart it is better than the competition. Honda make well built and well engineered cars. I keep my cars for a long time and know that a Honda will serve me better than a German or French rival. The Crosstar is not bad looking in the right colour scheme either.

[@jdmguy44]

@Bond, James Bond I think it looks better when you see it on the road. Have seen both the EX and Crosstar versions in sunlight white and thought they looked smart for a small hatch. Not gimmicky, fussy or trying to hard just clean smart lines but looks are subjective I guess.

I was shocked when Honda decided they would no longer sell the Fit (Jazz) in North America. It's hard to believe there isn't a market for this great little vehicle.

I agree! It is not sold in Australia it is a great car and can't believe it is not coming to Australia???

[@StephenBrabben]

Bought my Honda Jazz Crosstar in Sept 2021 having downsized from a Dacia Duster. No regrets whatsoever. The Jazz drives and feels like a much larger car. The electric motors work seamlessly with the petrol engine and give excellent economy (Averaging 62 MPG ) with both in and out of town driving. Interior design, fabric quality and seat configuration all above average. A very comfortable ride and great visibility all around. Plenty of space for my German Shepard in the back with a dog guard ensuring he's safe while traveling. Overall very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for a quality built small car.

Our last CRV developed a problem with the driver's seatbelt - car was just out of the three year warranty. Cost to replace the seatbelt a staggering £1000. Honda offered to meet only 20% of the cost of the replacement belt. The dealer offered a honda jazz demo model, whilst the CRV was off the road. Delighted with it and so decided to go for the new Jazz August 2021. Great car far better acceleration than the CRV great fuel economy and a comfortable ride. Highly recommended.

[@petewebb6952]

Good review, but I felt reactive to to your opening comments about it not being exciting or fun. I have a 2019 Sport and I find it a good balance of being fun, practical and a great size. Perhaps not a “go-cart” as a mini, but the Sport is peppy and is the same weight as a Mazda MX5 so it’s a pretty good performer too. I like a manual gear car so I doubt if I’ll go for the latest Hybrid version. Why would I when a 2019 Sport is such good value? Apart from the subjective start (maybe save that for the end if you have to) that’s a great review thanks.

[@figaro501]

I ordered my 6th Jazz today for delivery in July. I chose the EX hybrid and the test drive was a dream. I really don't think I'll ever have another make and I believe I've become a Jazz nerd. IMHO - perfection!

The UK needs the Nissan Note E Power, the new generation came out in 2021 and it's brilliant. I own the older model but the EV tech in it is just amazing and the range just fantastic. Also it's so fast approx 0-62mph in 6.5 secs Highly recommend if it comes to the UK. At present I get 1000kms on a tank and that's city driving, roughly works out at 95 mpg I think if my conversions are correct

@@ClassicAutoReviews my one is 2017, that's 1000km was the best I ever got and that was pure city driving. So traffic jams and hitting around at 50km average. Normally I get 875kms on a single tank. It has the tech from the leaf so half of the electric motor from that. Batteries are under the floor just like the leaf. It uses the 1.2 3 cylinder engine to charge the electric motor be and acts as a generator. Also there is selective regen braking just like the leaf. That's so addictive with the one pedal driving . Wear and tear of the car is minimal especially the brake pads etc Brilliant car and I come from the UK originally and this car should of been brought to the UK. They would of sold like hot cakes.

I bought a new one last year, the 2nd jazz I’ve owned. The new one is a big improvement over the last version but still feels very familiar. Having owned several higher performing cars I would say the ease of driving this and its practicality makes it a clear winner for everyday use. The only crap thing about it is the app, which requires a separate visit to the dealer to activate and which is full of bugs to the extent it is almost unusable.

Had Our jazz for 6 months now just over 5k miles. It has averaged 61.5Mpg ( correctly measured - the car computer claims 63.5).Over that 5+k miles. We have seen 75 mpg on a few 50+ mile trips but high 60s is the norm. However the last two tankfuls in this cold weather are working out as 58 and 57.5 . It’s probably due to the engine running more to heat the car. So far we are very pleased with this versatile little car. In particular it is very comfortable and relaxing to drive. Unfortunately some of the driver aids are annoying, I understand they have to be to get the 5* safety rating. We picked the standard Jazz EX in preference to the seemingly bigger Crosstar as bizarrely the standard car has more space and more equipment. ( heated steering wheel & cross traffic warning on the reversing camera) according to Honda it is also faster to 62 mph and more economical. As far as I can see the only reason for Crosstar is if you need the waterproof seats, - these would be great if you have muddy dogs or children, the Crosstar also has a better sound system & 16mm extra ground clearance.

[@DavidWilliams-cs5uf]

We recently sold this model and part exchanged it for a nearly new electric car. It had some very good features and conversely, some notably poor ones too. Given its external size, its deceptively roomy for passengers and the cabin is larger than our BMW 3 series. In addition, the seats are tremendously comfortable. The magic seats are ideal for transporting large items and with the rear seats folded down, it becomes like a small van. So that's the good news. Here's the bad news: ride quality is inadequate for rough roads. The engine often stays on when you are stationary and therefore wastes fuel, however, if you turn off the heating, it stops. So, if you want to save fuel in cold weather, best wear a coat and hat. The acceleration is weedy and handling feel is virtually non-existent. Fuel economy became worse when the new E10 petrol arrived. Honda need to increase the regenerative effect and upscale the inadequate battery capacity because you will soon use up that energy and that engine will fire up again and burn up fuel when it ought to still be running on recuperated energy.

[@Woodman-Spare-that-tree]

I’ve only ever driven my Jazz with the back seats down and used it as a van. The parcel shelf is permanently stored in the garage. I need the engine to stay running when I am at traffic lights , level crossings, etc, because I need to keep the car running to charge up the starter battery. Otherwise the battery never gets fully charged, and then the car won’t start at all without me calling for a jump start from the AA / RAC.

Very interesting video, well presented, clear and without gimmicks, which makes for a treat. Would be interesting to understand what take the Jazz actually has on being a hybrid- the battery seems to work at low speeds doesn't make it clear what is going on? So what hybrid features are there?

[@ConcertinaChap]

When you're driving the car is constantly juggling the battery and the engine. In theory the battery can only take this thing about a kilometer, apparently, but the recharging from the engine and the regenerative braking keep the battery topped up and the car will use the battery when it can, which is much of the time. This is how it gets the superb MPG, it's also why it's so quiet, especially at low speeds when it's totally silent. Quite spooky ...

[@francis2811]

If ideal driving conditions permit, petrol consumption can be better than stated. I had to take a photo of the Trip Computer at the end of a journey when it read 73.7mpg. Hondas are less thirsty than they used to be. With the uncertainty of fuel prices, it is something for car purchasers to consider if they don't fancy an electric car.

I have the same problem, my CRV just won’t quit on me. Honda engines are so reliable, it’s a problem!

[@kurrizzle]

Sad not to see these in the states, guess I'll just have to get an hrv becos Murica, gotta be big

[@peterjohns2941]

Had a ride in a friend’s Jazz - everything impressed, except the seats. No lumbar support at all. So it is a no go for me. (Also no spare wheel - even as an option!)

[@wms1530]

The lack of Spare Wheel on any brand of car, is a deal breaker for us.

[@basilvictorhomer]

@@wms1530 First long journey I took the family on we had a puncture. Had to call the AA, ended up adding a full three hours to our 200 mlie journey, no exageration.

[@nicholkid]

Really bummed they cancelled these in north America.

[@rubennetgm]

What colour is it?. Platinum white pearl or sunlight white pearl?. Nice review and great car.

[@redpillnibbler4423]

How many miles on the battery alone?

[@nickyk703]

I wish Australia would take them on. I loved my old Jazz.

[@estakado206]

its a shame that we dont have this version of the Honda Fit in the USA. Maybe in a couple years.🙏

[@truthandjustice6838]

Honda my favourite brand...And they last for decades.

[@davidbenson6979]

Another concise review. Thank you.

[@bettylindsey9829]

If there had been a fit/jazz here in the states I would have gotten it in a heartbeat. I gave a 2017 fit and love it. Honda missed the mark by not advertising them here in The states.

[@iyedbennour8324]

How is the drive on the highway ? Noisy ? Confortable for long distance ?

[@andrewwalker3312]

Very accurate assessment prefer ex model , good value!

[@starkalarm]

Just picked mine up. 😎👍

[@super_slav91]

Honda managed to take what they make best out of the Jazz, a manual transmission.

[@gilesa.4052]

Can't remember the last time I found Honda's to be exciting...

[@marcelfermer5369]

Do new Honda Jazz owners ever owned or driven for 3-5 months a VW Golf or Polo 5-7 ? Which did you like better - aside for gas mileage I mean.

[@gemmahenderson6222]

Please give us a solid visual demonstration of the features on the new jazz without us having to consult the manual each time.

[@amitavraja3385]

Currently have 2nd gen Auto Qashqai which I’m not happy with, though it has a 1.3 CVT engine, it’s noisy and economy is not good. Thinking about this model. I live in London and most of our journey is local and rarely use the car. How is the ECVT of this car?

[@jacobheinz8236]

Excellent 👍🏻

[@jankarlsson8341]

I have an old one, and is very happy with that.

[@harishkpatham5335]

Jazz is my dream car.. when Will this Hybrid version going to launch in India?

[@eddiejones.redvees]

I stayed with my 1.6 diesel Astra and it’s 66 mpg also has a big boot and better ride comfort

[@philipwookey599]

You recommend the mid range car but test the top of the range, and you always do that.

[@maximuscomfort]

My daily driver hybrid Jazz is the mutts and so far Cvt and antifreeze serviced after 10 years. The battery pack no i code yet. I have looked at the latest videos of the new Jazz, that droopy style nose and the double clutch system is a downer for me.

[@rebeccawarner4392]

I own a 2015 Fit (usa version), just wish I could get a new hybrid, but alas, we no longer have this model. Lol, maybe I should move. Like your channel !!

[@Bullcutter]

Yes, find a good English husband and move over here (sorry if you're already married)!

@@Bullcutter lol,welcome the thought, but I'd leave hubs and his gf at home, too much baggage otherwise. But I'm a bit "long in the tooth " to be moving elsewhere, so I'll just live with my lovely "wildberry" Fit until it or I quit running. 😅 Have a great day ❣ hugs'n love 🤗🥰

[@glenndavid8725]

Have they sorted the rust problem, second hand Jazzs are shocking for rust underneath.

[@keelferm]

I bought a brand new, basic model Jazz in 2004 for just over £8k. Please tell me that inflation hasn't been running at such a high level since then...

[@alexmacca9477]

There's a shortage of new cars, so prices have gone through the roof, not to mention used car prices that are seeing high prices too.

[@keelferm]

@@alexmacca9477 canny: or is it? Of course shortages can be created

[@stephenwakeman3074]

Shortages of semiconductor components, silicon wafer capacity in the tech industry. I think instead of created you mean to say artificial. If you look at the price of computer components the shortages are very real and that has most definitely had a knock on effect on industries which are reliant on them. Automotive being one.

[@UnipornFrumm]

I drived it for 3 days as a rental I love it in the city verry easy to drive especialy when the engine is turned off Bit the downside is the engine is lowd and long trimps on motorway not verry confortable,so better to be used inside the city,it would be niccer if it was fully electric

[@alanjameson8664]

Not sold in the North American market, which doesn't make any sense to me. Our daughter has an earlier model, and it is great. They took the HR-V off the market too, supposedly to be replaced by a special North American market version in 2023.
