UPDATE: Launch gallery and detail shots added
After months of speculation, the Honda Jazz Hybrid is now officially launched. The green car was unveiled to the media at a very green location, FRIM in Kepong, minutes ago. Sharing the 1.3L Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) powertrain with the Insight we’re familiar with, the Jazz Hybrid is priced at RM94,800 OTR including insurance.
The Jazz Hybrid made its world debut at Paris 2010. Honda has managed to integrate the 1.3 litre i-VTEC engine + IMA powertrain from the Insight into the B-segment body of the Jazz, famous for its space and brilliant packaging. The claimed fuel consumption figure is 21.3 km/l in the European cycle.
Apparently, the engine, motor, battery and Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) goes into the Jazz without affecting practicality – the Jazz’s multi-folding Magic Seats are retained, as is a boot volume of 300 litres, or 846 litres with the rear seats folded. The IPU tucks in beneath the boot floor, so there’s no spare tyre in the car, but a tyre repair kit.
Among the hybrid features are the ECON driving mode and Eco Assist function. Also standard are six airbags, Hill Start Assist, Multi Info Display and Charge Assist Indicator. Available in five colours – Fresh Lime Metallic, Alabaster Silver Metallic, Milano Red, Crystal Black Pearl and Tafetta White – the car is priced at RM94,800. The battery comes with a five-year or 140,000 km warranty, the same as the Insight and CR-Z’s.
More details and an in-depth look into the Jazz Hybrid will be coming your way soon, in a special interview with Shingo Nagamine, Large Project Leader of the Jazz Hybrid.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express disappointment with the Honda Jazz Hybrid's high price of RM94.8k, feeling it is overpriced compared to expectations and similar models like the Prius C or Insight. Many highlight that the car lacks full hybrid technology, features fewer airbags, and lacks a spare tire, which some find unacceptable at this price. Several commenters suggest waiting for a lower-spec version or alternative brands like Toyota, which offers better value and advanced hybrid features. There’s also criticism about the lack of transparency in pricing, high maintenance costs, and concerns over resale value, with some calling for a boycott. Overall, sentiments lean toward dissatisfaction with Honda’s pricing strategy, viewing the car as a rip-off given the available alternatives.
