- For 2020 the all-new Honda Jazz becomes hybrid only in the UK market. As Chris Knapman discovers in this CarGurus UK review, it's a formula that suits this small car particularly well. True, the Jazz still won't be for everybody, but if you liked the Jazz before, you should positively love it now.

This is the type of car you buy with your brain and keep with your heart.
The interior lights are also LED’s and omg they are stunning! Got 80mpg the other day, the electronics are just incredible. Look at what you get for circa 20 for an EX and compare the sheer technology in that car for the money in comparison to the Europeans. It’s staggering. That hybrid system just for starters in a car of this size with the magic seats and interior room - this is where Honda’s engineering really shines. Fully adaptive cruise control, lane trace, heated part leather seats and steering wheel, blind spot and a huge amount of safety kit all as standard. It really is fabulous.
Thanks.
Driving modestly round town does the engine often cut in?
heh, something tells me you're a Honda dealer.
I'm just 10 days in into my Jazz ownership and I love it! It reported 80+mpg driving around Taunton yesterday and with an overall 64mpg I'm very happy with that 😊
Probably the best designed car in the world from the manufacturer who produces the best engines in racing and the open market. Brilliant.
We bought one 3 months ago. Here in Germany the Jazz is a bit expensive, but it is an absolutly great car! It is very quiet, even on the motorway you can very easily talk to some in on the backseat. The seating position and the quality of the seats is bliss, some friends tell me immediately when they get into the car. The Jazz is so fun to drive, because it has a linear feeling to the accelleration pedal, and very natural breaking, although it is recuparating, it couln't be easier to drive a car! It is completely hasselfree, so my mom could adopt to it very quickly al the age of 80. The safety and reliability ist perfect. The designers took care of so many little things we noticed while using it. For us, it is definetly the perfect car. It's more like a friend we get around with, not an A to B car, actually. (Sorry for my English, I tried my best!)
Your English is excellent. Besser als meine Deutsche.

Are 100% sure you own a Honda Jazz e:HEV and not a Toyota Yaris Hybrid...?🤔
@@dickschuurman4684 they finally fixed my problem under warranty. It runs like a dream now :) I was a high voltage wire issue. But the 12v batteries are notoriously undersized both in honda and toyota ether way
We have had three different Jazz's, in 10 years I haven't even replaced a bulb!! Thank you Honda!
We had an original Jazz years ago and loved it. Great little cars. I hope this sells well.
Great review too. I really like how thorough this chap was without being dull.
I'm surprised that you didn't mention the lane assist and automatic cruise control, making long motorway journeys an absolute pleasure.
Given how most people don't care about driving, this is absolutely perfect. Then they go buy Mokka's instead???????? It's brilliant and reliable. Should be a best seller. Enjoyed this review.
People are getting dumber and dumber in 21'st century. When it comes to cars, nobody respect reasonebly vehicles, it's all about power and speeding, over size SUV's and other stupid things. Cars like this Jazz, are the best city vehicles, there is.
In real world, daily use, this is how to do a car. Everything else is just image or ego...?
I really love your comment. It's perfect to describe how this car is, because I got one a few weeks ago and I'm really happy enjoying and driving it. I don't need any premiun car to get any image or ego. This one is fantastic and don't need to go all the time to the petrol station. All the best!
@@frankpen7627 what is the real world mpg with the new Jazz? I had the previous version and loved it but considering if I go for this or a golf for our next car.
@@nicke.1904 The average including all kind roads, like driving in a city , national roads and motorway you can get 4.5 litres per one hundred kilometres the otherwise if you drive more in a city it’ll spend less,because most of the time it’s running by the electrical engine.
@@nicke.1904 To give you a real world impression, here is the average consumption of the Jazz. Twelve cars, at least 10.000 km.(6200 miles): 4.37 l/100 km. = 64.6 mpg

you just described my prius. when i replace it. i want maybe a smaller, off road capable Hybrid SUV. sounds like i am describing the lexus UX but doubt that is offroad capable and don’t like the dial gauges. The downside of this Jazz and my Prius is scary lack of acceleration needed for highway merging and won’t be able to handle snow in winter
My fourth Jazz! This model has been improved all round, finish, superb ride, great electronics and 9.4 seconds to 62mph. Replaced two batteries, no problems during all the years of ownership!
Hopefully you are talking about key fob batteries or similar, not the traction batteries of your latest Jazz!
I consider myself as a "car guy" and I have had driver's license for almost 30 years now. During the years I have driven literally hundreds of cars, I don't know how many. I surprised myself yesterday: the Jazz became the first car I have test driven twice. It's that good in doing the basic job which is being a practical vehicle. I recommend to check it: you might even like it.
The new Jazz looks like a well thought out B segment product. Hondas always have plenty of substance and stand the test of time unlike a lot of other fashion accessory rivals.
I think I like how every Honda looks. To me, only japanese cars have soul, and maybe french cars. :)
Agree but Japanese is the dream and French car is a nightmare
Presenter: I don't like the instrument panel
Also the Presenter 5 mins later : I like the instrument panel
Something like that happens to me sometimes: I see an ugly woman and a few minutes later I think ... what a beauty she is !!!
I discovered why: it turned out that the wind direction had turned 180 degrees! 💨

I purchased one of these in September, the red colour which is absolutely gorgeous. I totally disagree with the reviewers verdict on the display in front of the driver, I think it’s great. The infotainment screen is also a huge improvement on previous Honda offerings and the touchscreen works very well. The fuel economy is excellent, I’ve had as much as 70 mpg and I’m averaging about 65 mpg. Acceleration is surprisingly good for a small car partly because there’s no gearbox. Overall it’s very easy to drive and the EX model comes with some very nice extras - no more worrying about what’s in the blind spot when I’m on a motorway. I considered an all electric vehicle but at the mo it’s just not a practical proposition, too few charging points. I hope that changes in the next few years but meanwhile a hybrid like the Jazz ticks all the boxes for me.
The seats are also soooo comfy in the EX, and I adore the interior lights ! :)
Simple, no frills, everyday car. Good for the masses.
For people who aren't brand snobs this is a great car. I have mk1 bought 2 years ago and I needed a economical reliable car to take my gear and bikes. Perfect!
But I am a brand snob. That is why I am driving my second Jazz already.
@@JeeGee114 Well Brand as in the Brands, and we all know what it means I don't need to expand I feel.
@@JeeGee114
Exactly this.
3rd Honda for me.
2 Civics and a Jazz.
The next is gonna be a Jazz, again.
Maybe next year.
Just got my mot renewed and a hefty bill in consumables (tires, belt, oil, fluids and filters, some bulbs and a few bits of pipe.) No surprises. Just everything came at the same time.
Got to make it worth it, for a while 😋
Great honest review of the perfect A to B car.
A clear and useful review. And the Jazz is a handy and no-nonsens car.
All journalists push for better infotainment in cars. Why?!?!?! Just to add 1000 euros to the price?!?!?! You don't have a phone? I would like to see that 1000 euros going into independent rear suspension.
As a pensioner , I can say it definately appeals to me. Whether it appeals to my wife , who loves her shopping and is used to a large Volvo estate , is another matter.
I enjoyed watching the Video 😁 Review. I saw one yesterday near where I live
No problem with the design. Have had two over a 16 year period and both were thoroughly reliable. Sold the first (7 years old) to my father-in-law and a few months later he rang me and said that he had had to take it into a garage. Turned out that the handbrake cable had stretched! From my experience the Jazz does most things very well and nothing badly.
Had one for 3 weeks now. Mainly for city use and is excellent. Inside is a nice place to be. Don't overthink it. Just get from A to B. Noticed that on colder mornings the engine starts for a couple of minutes. Is it battery not as efficient when cold or engine needs to warm up?
Unless you are a petrol head that wants a car that does more than you can legally do this is a ( bit expensive) perfect car.
what about fuel consumption?
@@mike28k36 when engine is cold the car refuses to run electric only so short trips are about 45 mpg. Once it warms up the milage improves to, usually, 70-80. On motorway its mid 50's. I'm happy with consumption
@@popdufc4139 Man, honda is on another level
@@mike28k36 best bit is sitting next to an audi/BMW at lights. Jazz pulls away SO smoothly, and quickly they get a surprise. With the speed limiter it stops accelerating at whatever it is and the bmw's fly past looking shocked
@@popdufc4139 best city car by far. Enjoy it
I'm looking for a new motability car and had not considered this one before now. I liked this review. Thanx 🙂🚘
I ordered one yesterday in grey as they don't do the yellow one at the moment, drives nicely.
I’ve had my Honda Jazz Ex just over three months and absolutely love it. Reliable comfortable and very economical. Highly recommend you purchase.one but maybe not younger generation 😂😂
Great car & review
I like the Car but i dislike the optic. But that doens't matter in the end, Honda build great cars, so kudos to them (and Toyota).
Is the yellow still available, it will match my kayak?
yes leds and lights on the car are nice, its also a nice car to drive. smooth
To me this car is very elegant and the only thing I don't like about it are those wheels.. If I ever had to own one I would definitely change her shoes ;)
Agree with that. The wheels look like steel wheels with a plastic ‘ornament’. The car tested here is the EX version, the wheels are actually 16” alloy (with a plastic ‘ornament’ 🙄). We have had one for 3 weeks and I’ve got used to them already and don’t dislike them anymore.
@@Onbekommerd That's good to hear buddy :)! Happy motoring mate ;)
True that, o feel the same way..
Excellent car. Good performances and low consumption of gasoline. We bought two of these (one Crosstar and an Elegance); both are efficient and reliable. Got as low as 2.9 litres for 100 km (driving carefully) or 4 litres for 100 km going typically. On highways at 110 km/h got 18 km/l (5,6 litres for 100 km)
Not a fan of the new look front. Did I miss the price and different trim or specs levels ?
I have the fit and I love it
It’s a brilliant car
At 78, it’s time I put my boy racer times behind me and swap my Golf gti for something more sedate, and I think this wee one will do me fine. I just pootle round town and surrounding area, maybe a 50mile trip now and then. Now I just have to get my ipace driving son to accept that I don’t want a full on EV !
Excellent car
Interesting to see what Honda are into now in that segment; I used to have older Civics , in three different types over the years (Mk 7/8/9), and it’s good to see they’re still providing the ‘magic seat’ arrangement in the Jazz (they dropped it in the Civic later on). Thus the fuel tank etc must be under the front seats as before.
Just a minor comment re ‘B’ mode around 7:20; if it’s almost identical to the Toyota hybrid, that will be there for engine braking on steep or long downhill stretches, when the regenerative braking will stop on account of the traction battery being full (quiet easy with a baby one!), in which case one's back to friction braking only. For the best fuel economy, avoid using it as much as possible.
B mode is NOT the same, but quite different from the Toyota B mode...
I just bought this car for my every day use, I love it, it makes me a relaxed nice driver.
I have full option with Honda assist driving toys. It's very useful for a country road journey with speed over 70 kmh.
Mine is blue with white gray interior leather. Very chic and classy.
When you are driving the car, always try to stay in EV mode as long as possible.
I agree the middle screen is a bit laggy it works well with my iphone wireless carplay. I can't use Honda assist voice.
In high way, I still prefer my BMW. It's more relaxing.
Bring this to the states!
I bought one of the last 2020 models at my local dealer earlier in the year, its one fantastic and very practical car with a lot of tech mind you. I'm very disappointed honda discontinued these in the USA. Main reason I jumped on the 2020 model, these are extremely reliable too, I haven't heard any owners here every complain about this car model, seems everyone that owns these, loves them.
yes perfect car
I have a crosstar, lovely to drive on nice roads and motorways loads of interior space very happy. One thing that I find annoying is on a country road the pulling on the steering wheel from the stupid lane thing. You can't keep it turned off.
Is there a reason why they aren’t in North America ?
We’ve just taken delivery of our new Jazz and we are amazed how relaxing it is to drive, the only slight downside is the noise the engine makes when you put your foot down to overtake, but it’s only a minor gripe.
How is the cabin noise in highways around 120-150 km/h? or like 70 mph?
I actually love the digital dash and the clean centre console. Too bad that this is not sold in Canada
Not sold in Australia so SAD! such a great car
Nice car 🚗
All Prayers to Honda
Search miracles of the sun 1917
And 2017 etc
God bless
Really wish this came to the US, I like small nimble cars and don't need a big lumbering SUV.
Great little car. Why isn’t Honda selling this car in the U.S.?
The Crosstar version is much more rugged SUV looking and is more visually appealing for general use. The standard model looks like a stylish but delicate city only car. Why would you criticise Honda for including an SUV version when every other brand now does so ? Some reviewers ignore the appeal of the SUV style. Why?
The fact that the SUV version actually has a slightly smaller boot than the normal hybrid says everything about the true practicality of many SUVs. They might look rugged and trendy but not always worth the extra cash. At £2200 extra the SUV version really doesn't seem worth it in this case.
@@ubermod5564 that's a personal opinion you are perfectly entitled to hold.
If you think a standard b segment car is a city only car, then your foolish. To me someone who buys a pretend SUV version of a car is a bit of a mug. But like you said we all have our own tastes.
Do they come in manual ou just automatic?
Only auto in the UK
Does anyone happen to know if you can stream music music via bluetooth or do you need to plug it in?. Cheers
In my 2019 jazz I was able to stream via Bluetooth from CZcams or soundcloud, I hope they have kept this feature
Honda has followed Renaults lead here in Australia by stopping sales of their small cars in favour of SUVs... Australia is a backwards market :(
The Jazz was pretty popular here too, but the CRV is more profitable.
I agree. It’s very disappointing that this will not be released in Australia
The USA did the exact same thing.
I wish I could dance like that!
Not impressed its not available in Australia. The turning circle in the Jazz is too small.
I am not a fan of the new styling as it looks quite cross eyed at the front. You can’t argue about practicality though. Larger than the Yaris but probably less fun ? I have seen many on the roads unlike it’s larger Cross Star brother.
My fit in USA is so efficient that honda was pressed to discontinue , I get 40mpg, in America it makes too much sense , I dont like the new look
Which is the better car the new Jazz or the new Yaris?
Different cars for different purposes
We test drove both and chose the Jazz. Had it for a few weeks now and love it. Indeed different cars for different purposes, the Yaris is more ‘sporty’ and seemed to have a bit sturdier drive. You don’t want adults in the back of the Yaris and not more luggage than a toothbrush. So for us the Jazz is more practical and it handles well in town, on B roads and on the motorway. We get better than 60mpg on a combined cycle with relatively large amounts of motorway driving. Over 65mpg in town and on B roads with the ‘gear’ selector in ‘B’.
The Jazz is better. A lot more car for the money plus the Yaris is poorly made. The metal bodywork is very thin and bendy, doors that shut with a tinny clang and badly made screen surround on the dash.
@@phil8437 totally agree, the Yaris is cheap overpriced s**t compared to the Jazz in every way
I wasn’t expecting to like the new Jazz, I thought it would be dull and boring and only appeal to an older generation compared to the new Yaris. How wrong I was. The Jazz is a far nicer car to be in, more comfortable, feels higher quality compared to the Yaris, which for the price, feels very cheap, almost Suzuki Swift levels of hard plastics and very tinny bodywork. The four cylinder engine in the Jazz is also more refined when it kicks in, where as the usual three cylinder rumble and vibration can be felt in the Yaris. The Jazz is so versatile and spacious, I certainly wouldn’t want to sit in the back of the Yaris for long, very cramped and the rear doors don’t open that wide. Ultimately it comes down to what you want and need, but I would go with the Jazz over the Yaris.
I hate that this car is not being released in North America 😒. Was going to upgrade to this car but I guess it'll have to be a Nissan Leaf now.
I was rear ended in my 2016 Fit in December '19 and settled for replacing with a 2019 Fit as no information anywhere at the time of a 2020 coming out. I remember at the time I bought the first one telling the dealer I wasn't planning on getting rid of it so the resale value didn't matter. Insurance paid me $13.7k for my 3 yr 2 mth old car that cost $17.1k and I managed to get the new one for only $16.8k. Basically I got to lease a Fit for 3 years at $1k/year and then get a new car :) I think I would have liked they hybrid and that it had come to the US.
Where do you put the spare wheel?
They don't give a spare wheel these days, they give a repair kit.
Logo chega ao Brasil!!🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰
Now if it was a plug in hybrid I might have been interested in buying one!
Why would you want a plug in hybrid?
If it had been a plug in hybrid it would weight 150 kgs more that you would need to move at all time, resulting in higher consumption of ENERGY, be it electric. Those batteries would have meant a great deal pollution to produce and would have robbed all the practicality the jazz is bought for. Thanks God neither Honda nor Toyota are going that way....only mostly posh premium (German) brands are going that way.... And they do so not for the planet but to lower their fleet average CO2 émission in order to avoid fines. This, by the way is another scandal about to unfold.... as it is obvious most Porsche hybrid driver never bother refilling batteries but do enjoy the significant tax breaks these cars come with for their fake creds. 35 gr CO2 /km for a panamera hybrid...SERIOUSLY?
I agree i wish they would make a full electric jazz, I would seriously consider one.
I do like Japanese cars and this Honda looks better made than the new Yaris. In my opinion there are two issues with the new Jazz. The first is these small hybrids/electric cars are way too expensive (well over 20K for a decent spec'd car) and the second is the Honda Jazz especially in white is very bland. I would save up a bit more and buy a Lexus UX @ 29K. There is only about a 6K difference between a well spec'd Jazz and a "basic" Lexus UX. Well worth the extra. Thanks for a great review.
Look at the specs, you’ll get far more on a Honda than a basic Lexus. The tech is also more sophisticated in my opinion. Auto high beam for example on a Toyota is nowhere near as good as a Honda
You start by saying its not smart to look at but in my view its a great looking car, its you people who keep doing it down and as a car reviewer you should not be saying that, its up to the viewer to make their minds up about that, we don't need or want your views on that. As far as what people think about this car being liked by older drivers again its you that's caused that by repeatedly saying that.
More than 60miles to the gallon. What the hell is wrong with you, Amurika? We could have been seeing these on the freeways instead of that ugly Prius!
The ICE never "acts like a generator." The car has a generator - a device that can be operated either a motor or a generator - and the ICE operates that generator.
Close to perfect - the pricing kills it for me.
But they're not bringing it to North America!
Nothing about interior quality??
It’s supremely comfy, the seats in the EX are just lush
It’s good, very comfortable and feels better than the Yaris.
Why can't you get a dark interior cloth with a blue car ? I hate white interiors. Go to the Honda configurator. Is it an option? No. Well done Honda. Non of the car reviewers ever mention that.
looks like an angry fish!
Foi um tiro no pé da Honda tirar o Fit de linha!!!
put you foot down what a racket......not a plug in hybrid; well the home charging is the cheap option
Well, you should hope that Rebecca is not watching this review 😂😂😂
SORRY! What were you saying again??! I nodded off during that... 😁
Honda lost their way years ago and nothing has changed with this car. In Australia from next year you will only be able to buy a new Honda direct from Honda. No more doing a deal with your local dealer. They are also not bringing any EV hybrids to AU (because our gov’t doesn’t subsidise them) and have reduced the range available here. They appear to be doing everything possible to kill off the brand in AU. They’re succeeding.
I tried one. Objectively excellent. But coming out of a Mini.....I just couldn't. The A2 was a seminal design: it hinted that although it was overwhelmingly practical there was a degree of Bauhaus 'function before form' chic about it. A car that an architect would own. But this ? I'm afraid it'll remain a 'blue rinser special'....as ever.
With such a name it seems clear to me: someone who thinks he has to prove his personality through his means of transport... Sad...

Hope its better than the last model which was garbage, the 1.3 was under powered when you compare it to Ford 1.0 3 cylinder Turbo even though they are meant to be roughly the same horsepower, the suspension was crap and CVT gearbox terrible, this version will need to have improved massively to be anywhere as good as a Fiesta and to be a car that's enjoyable to drive.

Who needs all that storage - it’s a car?
My neighbors for example. Unfortunately, she has to use a (now folding) ♿wheelchair. Magic seats up, the wheelchair behind the front seats and the trunk remains fully available.
Also, my bicycle 🚲 would not be on the roof or on a bicycle carrier on a towbar. Click out the front wheel and the bike fits there too. ✔️
And you never thought of a young family with 2 small children? Child safety seats in the back seat. Very easy to install, also because the doors open almost 90 degrees. The buggy under the Magic Seats (lots of space!).

The new design just ................ 🤦🏻♂️
It actually looks good and everyone around the world accept it except your country
@@Mystic_Edge its too freaking soft, the previous gen looks more aggresive
@@haziqehsan that's why from my perspective most people from any other country prefer the design except your country. You need learn from other country. The design looks elegance and minimal. Not all cars need to look aggressive
The hideous wheels fitted as standard do it no favours. The optional ones and the pearlescent white paint make it look pretty smart IMO.
Ugly design!! i love Jazz But this model very UGLY!!
I agree. It looks like it was designed by a comittee that disagreed how the end product should look like. I'd previously crossed it off my shorlist but the optics are beginning to grow on me... slowly.
awful looking.
