Honda have released some new images of the new Honda Jazz Hybrid, set to debut at the Paris Motorshow very soon. As expected, the IMA hybrid motor and control system are the same 1.3 litre system shared with the Insight, and not the more powerful system in the CR-Z.
Honda claims a combined fuel consumption figure of just 4.4 litre per 100km. As the hybrid system works on a simpler motor assist concept as compared to Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive, the Jazz Hybrid like the rest of its H-badged hybrid cousins will not be able to run on full EV mode on demand, instead it can only switch to an electric motor only mode under certain medium to low speed conditions.
Thanks to the chassis construction of the Jazz, the battery pack and power control unit have managed to be hidden in the area under the boot floor, keeping the normal above floor boot area of 300 litres. This also allows the Jazz’s flat-folding “magic seats” to fold the same way as the non-hybrid versions.
Look after the jump for the new images released by Honda. Our man Danny Tan will be on the scenes from the Paris Motorshow to bring you live coverage from the floor!

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
So the engine has some ‘green’ environment feeling. Does the colour need to translate to its body as well?
why? it’s not wrong. the colour is nice though.
YA,it is nice
Ala…that TEC just give some comment on green color..he didnt say it wrong,,he need some reply…..as long as he dont relate to P1 power window problem should be ok lahh…
It saves Clarkson time at explaining if the car is green…
LOL.
Clarkson *always* take a *looooonggg* time to explain anything :lol:
clever reference to the TG Fiesta road test. haha.
TEC, obviously the ppl at honda didn’t get the memo that the proper colour used to market ‘green’ cars is actually blue.
I think Honda found themselves in a weird situation in this case. They already used the typical hybrid blue on the normal Jazz as the “hero colour” when it was launched. Maybe they thought blue again would be boring. But I agree, perhaps they should have used the Civic Hybrid’s lighter blue shade as a differentiator instead of this weird green.
Perhaps the only blue colour that you can see in this car is in its headlight which is revised with blue surround. Look carefully!
a Ford Fiesta ECOnetic 1.6 turbodiesel can do better at 3.7l/100km (98g/km of CO2)
u r comparing a diesel engine with petrol engine. This is not a fair comparison as everybody knows diesel offers better fuel consumption anytime.
so…whats the point of a petrol hybrid? when a simpler & cheaper diesel is more frugal and emit less than 100g/km of CO2…
anyway, a diesel hybrid make more sense as what pug is doing, wt the soon to be release 3008 diesel hybrid…
It gonna be overpriced if come to our shore anyway…u c la nnt
front bumper seems like carried over from the City.
front lamp is like p2 myvi!
Very brilliant solution, but the front look somehow is……..weird~
NICE !!
I’m looking forward for Honda to come up with full hybrid system like the one on Prius… Honda has been harping on this IMA thingy for a while now.. is this is the same as the one we have on the civic hybrid as well ?
will this coming in to my?
Oh..ugly weh ! Bulat mcm biji durian.
A little blueish tint on this lime green Jazz spoils the overall exterior. This darker tint makes it look duller and unfreshened! It defeits the purpose of wanting to be ‘green’ on the environment.
So far the most successful green colour used in M’sia automobile industry would be, surprisingly to my preference only, the bright yellowish tint olive green coated on the first generation of Perodua Myvi.
