New Honda Jazz 2020 eHEV Hybrid Review

The all new Honda Jazz, hybrid powered with 60+ mpg, prices start at around £19,000.
There are 3 trims to choose from and the Crosstar, it's versatile, practical and features Honda sensing safety suite, with all new looks, a new powertrain and of course magic seats, the new Jazz is fantastic.
The e: HEV system has been developed specifically for the Jazz and is made up of two high-energy-density electric motors (generator and impeller), a 1.5-liter i-VTEC petrol engine, a lithium-ion battery and a fixed transmission.
Its hybrid system offers CO2 emissions from 102 g / km (WLTP) and fuel consumption of 4.5 l / 100 km (WLTP)

My wife just bought a new Honda Jazz hybrid...... perfect for the crazy traffic of Rome, and...... I have decided to sell my vw golf and purchase the cross star for myself!!!!!!

[@PlanetautoUK]

Sounds perfect, good choice, you can always get a Mk2 Golf as well, the best one 😎

[@Ambienfinity]

Thanks for this guys. I've had three Jazzes, and have been waiting for this one, which I'll probably end up getting. The only thing I don't like is the smaller boot, but the batteries have to go somewhere.

[@PlanetautoUK]

You’re very welcome, we love the Jazz, and this latest one is very good. Thank you

[@daniel-ino]

My mom is at her third. I made my brother buy the new Hybrid

[@PlanetautoUK]

They’re impressive cars and this latest powertrain is very good.

[@shaun5944]

Well done guys, great review. Nice to see a couple together doing this. 👍👋

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you for the feedback and it’ great to hear you enjoyed it, lots more coming

[@danniel0143]

Love the attention too details about the car! Not many are so specific when reviewing. I like it :)

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Dannie, there’s no point leaving important bits out 😀

[@ivansurovtsev9126]

Good review, thanks! It would be interesting to see a review of Honda Sensing driver assistance features and how useful they actually are there.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, that’s something for us to look at doing separately.

[@mattsbeamer]

Hey, a really nice review. I really like this car. It’s amazing how far they have come. You forgot to add a name for the 3rd presenter at the start :p. I would love to rent a car like this in Cyprus for the small village roads, and keeping my costs down.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Lol, you caught a glimpse of the mystery Jazz owner, a keen eye Matt, and then there’s Cabie too 😆 and yes a fab car the new Jazz, that sounds the ideal adventure.

[@pmaragoudakis]

I get 47-52mpg on city driving a Jazz GD1 (pump measurement ...59mpg at the gauge). 10mpg more don't sound much. The eco thing to do is drive it until its wheels fall off. Still, love the e:hev system as a simple mechanical design. Just make it a phev at the same pricepoint to justify a swap for us Jazz owners.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s possible to get more mpg, especially if you can get that, bravo. Hybrid tech will come fine in price, mind you it’s priced the same as the equivalent Toyota.

[@thejake8099]

This is the most informative review of the Jazz I've seen, you've made me a subscriber... thank you for your hard work.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thanks, The Jake! We really enjoyed it, it’s a great little car 🚙

[@willotoole4118]

Looks great and great informative review and keep up the great content

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thanks, Will - glad you liked it! Stay tuned , lots to come 😎

[@nevangelos9277]

I have the same height with Ben.Its nice to see that i fit in the new Jazz. Please make a review on the new Yaris Hybrid and which one you prefer-Honda Jazz Hybrid or Yaris Hybrid?

[@PlanetautoUK]

Oo good idea and we’ll see what we can do, yes Ben fits nicely, thank you

[@be_nz]

Wait for that comparison too 🤗

[@PlanetautoUK]

We are on it, thank you

[@peterlee6216]

Thanks for an informative and entertaining review. You covered all important points, plus the camerawork was spot on. Thanks.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thanks, Peter! So glad you liked it 😎

[@ProfSimonHolland]

If you just drive it to the shops under 30mph... will it be fully electric? How far can you go on the battery?

[@PlanetautoUK]

It juggles between electric and petrol, meaning dependant on the battery charge it may, we can’t find a specific range as it will change to hybrid mode when needed, best bet try one.

[@Liguritio]

Such a nice review from both of you. Seems to have enjoyed while making this, as much as I did watching it 👍

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you for such fantastic feedback, glad you enjoyed it, and yes we do love what we do.

[@tq8310]

Great review guys. Thank you.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you so much

[@nevangelos9277]

Very nice review

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@mjq1602]

Excellent review.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Michael

[@2775paulo]

When you accellerate, the noise of the petrol engine, increases a lot, but you do not get the speed it sounds, as of which speed it sounds that loud?

[@PlanetautoUK]

No the eCVT works well, if you floor it it’s noisy, if you accelerate progressively then it’s quite quick, thank you.

[@tyablo]

@@PlanetautoUK there is no any cvt or gearbox at all. electric motor drives front wheels. and engine directly couples to wheels at highway cruising speeds

[@PlanetautoUK]

The system in the Jazz, Honda call it the eCVT

[@tyablo]

@@PlanetautoUK because principle is same but would be better if you research the car before reviewing. honda's new hybrid system has one fixed gear for highway speeds. otherwise it is just an electric car

[@PlanetautoUK]

User996 find out more accurate info at Honda UK, strange every other review explains it the same way we do #accuracymatters

[@balokurd17]

The only way the battery recharge well is when drive downhill. Otherwise it never reloads entirely. And even after a 1000 meter mountain descent, the battery cant hold more than a few kilometers citydrive. It is normal ? It looks like a capacitor, not a lithium battery omg..

[@PlanetautoUK]

It charges when it coasts, essentially when you let off on the accelerator

[@Scuba72Chris]

"It's self charging"... A horrible marketing term which manufacturers need to stop using, it charges by burning petrol. Having said that, it is a lovely little car. Scuppered only by the insane price.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s priced the same as the equivalent Toyota, the thing is hybrid tech is still at a premium, it will level out eventually.

[@jdmguy44]

It's in line with all the competition. Admittedly the Crosstar version looks over the top price wise.

[@piglet5287]

This is more of a Honda promotion film than a critical review. I test drove a Jazz recently and I'd point out: The ride is strangely floaty at higher speeds. I ended up feeling car-sick, which is rare for me. Autocar comments on "heave and float" in their test (which I found after my drive). With dark-trimmed interiors the windscreen and quarter light pillars are trimmed in black, creating quite a stark effect - a distraction for the eye. (An owner might get used to this). The facia top is hard black plastic too. The boot itself isn't particularly large (much smaller than in a Polo or Clio). When all's said and done, a lot of people simply find it ugly

[@PlanetautoUK]

I had it flat out round the lakes throwing it into corners, I thought it felt well balanced the steering was a strange one, could have been a tad more responsive, but I couldn’t unsettle it- I like dark interiors, take the Golf GTE - yes for some reason they’re are some critical reviews, anything upto 70 it feels good, anything beyond not tested - try the Jimny at 70mph that’s floaty, thank you James for the feedback.

[@piglet5287]

@@PlanetautoUK Thanks. I only drove it up to 60mph but it felt floaty even at town speeds to me. And I'm used to a Polo, which people say are softly sprung

[@PlanetautoUK]

@@piglet5287 that’s the thing, we own a c124 and driving the Jazz in comparison feels like a Type R

[@piglet5287]

@@PlanetautoUK c124?

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s our classic Mercedes Benz C124 coupe

[@SpacedOdyssey]

Don't forget to mention Catalytic Converter Theft Epidemic Car off the road for 6 weeks

[@PlanetautoUK]

This one is different it’s a 2 hour job to get it changed at a main dealer.

[@SpacedOdyssey]

@@PlanetautoUK 6 weeks back order for a catalytic converter Our car is at a main dealer with two others waiting for a replacment

[@PlanetautoUK]

This new hybrid? If so we’re amazed, hope it’s sorted quicker, we specifically asked about this for a prospective buyer.

[@SpacedOdyssey]

@@PlanetautoUK It's epidemic atm, mainly was toyotas but now the new jazz has become fair game

[@PlanetautoUK]

Interesting, we were told there was less in them too, making them not worth the time to remove, thank you for the heads up.
