The recently released Honda Jazz Hybrid is Australia’s most affordable
hybrid at just $22,990* (Manufacturer’s List Price*).
The all-new Jazz Hybrid is another example of Honda’s commitment to producing fuel efficient vehicles that are fun and
practical.
Honda introduced hybrid motoring to Australia in 2001 with the first-generation Insight. IMA technology has featured
in the Civic Hybrid, CR-Z and now the Jazz. Over the last decade, the IMA system has evolved and become more compact and
lightweight, ensuring one of the most famous attributes of Jazz – its practicality – is not diminished in the hybrid
variant.
Key features of the Honda Jazz Hybrid include:

The Jazz Hybrid does not lose any of the practicality of the petrol-powered Jazz, with the compact nature of Honda’s
IMA system allowing this light car to retain its ultra-flexible ‘Magic Seats’ and 223 litres of boot space (with the
rear seats in their normal position). With the rear seats down, the cargo area (load to window) is 722 litres.
The IMA battery pack and power control unit have been integrated in the area under the boot floor, retaining the
normal boot area and allowing the ‘Magic Seats’ to fold in a similar manner as the petrol version (Utility mode is
slightly different). This means that the seats fold flat, to provide a surprising 722 litres measured to the window and
accommodating tall items within the car.
The IMA system is shared with all Honda’s hybrids, taking advantage of the proven reliability of this important
technology. With almost two decades of development and 10 years of sales, the Honda IMA system has proven itself to be a
flexible and dependable system, with over one million Honda hybrid vehicles sold around the world.
The all-new Jazz Hybrid uses the same 1.3 litre i-VTEC engine and electric motor as the Insight. The system is
combined with a CVT gearbox and has an emission count of just 107 g/km of CO2. Fuel consumption is just
4.5 l/100km combined urban/extra urban.
Visually, the Honda Jazz Hybrid is distinguished from the rest of the Jazz range with headlights that have a
chrome-blue surround, clear rear LED tail lights, chrome-blue front grille and a chrome tailgate garnish. The Hybrid is
available in a range of colours; Alabaster Silver, Fresh Lime Green, Rallye Red, Taffeta White and Polished Metal.
The dashboard integrates a version of the Eco Assist function, which uses the ambient lighting of the speedometer to
advise the driver on how their driving style is impacting on their fuel economy.
The Eco Assist function helps the driver target the maximum economy from their car in various situations and gives
drivers real-time feedback on how their application of the brakes and accelerator effects their fuel consumption and
environmental impact.

• 1.3 Litre SOHC i-VTEC engine delivering 65kW @ 5,800 rpm and 121Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm
