You
often affiliate hybrids with Toyota and Lexus, however not Honda -
Honda makes excessive-revving VTEC engines, right? Nevertheless, the
torque-wealthy nature of electrical motors imply they’re ideally suited
to a synchronous life with a petroleum engine that produces energy at
high revs. 
And with the launch of the new, facelifted Jazz, Honda has squeezed an electrified powertrain into its smart supermini.
It’s the company’s fourth hybrid, which implies Honda gives as many electrified fashions as Lexus in the UK, and greater than Toyota. But issues are a bit difficult: not content with having the £sixteen,675 Insight as the most affordable hybrid on sale in the UK, Honda has now undercut itself and will flog you the mechanically related Jazz Hybrid for £680 less.
So how does the model new Honda Jazz Hybrid differ from the Honda Perception?
Each utilise the same 1.3-litre petrol engine, electric motor and CVT gearbox, however because of a decrease, slipperier shape, the Perception is marginally cleaner and greener: 64.2mpg and 101g/km plays 62.8mpg and 104g/km. Honda’s excuse for the Jazz lacking out on the tax-free (and smug grin-inducing) sub-100g/km mark is that such a feat would have necessitated a a lot bigger set of batteries. Nonetheless, you may hardly keep up with the Joneses in case your potential new car isn’t as saintly as their pious Prius.
Nevertheless, on paper it looks good in opposition to other Jazz models. No diesels are available, but the 1.2-litre manages 53.3gmpg and 123g/km, the 1.four achieves 51.4mpg and 126g/km, and a CVT-outfitted 1.four is a touch higher with 52.3mpg and 125g/km.
