VERDICT HONDA’S decision to sell the Jazz only with a hybrid powertrain makes for an expensive supermini. It’s great tech, however, blending an Atkinson-cycle petrol engine with two electric motors and a battery. It all works together brilliantly, giving good refinement and stellar economy: 62.8mpg on the combined cycle.
The Jazz is a practical car, too, thanks partly to the ‘Magic Seats’, the bases of which fold up to make it easier to get bulky items across the rear floor. Fold the seats flat and the load space is an impressive 1,205 litres.
