The 2011 Jazz Hybrid will be available in all existing colours plus new Lime Green metallic, and new leather trim option.
Featuring the renowned IMA hybrid system used in the CR-Z and Insight, the Jazz features a distinctive new headlight and front grille design for a more impactful look.
Inside, the new stylish single-colour dashboard design incorporates Honda's innovative Eco Assist function to help you drive even more efficiently.
You'll also find 300 litres of boot space inside our compact hybrid - and the ultra-flexible Magic Seats increase that to 831 litres when they're folded down.

HONDA JAZZ WITH HYBRID TECH: AS PRACTICAL AS EVER – WITH LOWER EMISSIONS
• World’s first B-segment car with hybrid technology
• No compromise – features all the practicality of the standard Jazz
• Retains the flexible Magic Seats
• Up to 831 litres of boot space
• 104 g/km of CO2 emissions*
• Improved fuel economy offers up to 64.2 miles per gallon*
Making its debut at the Paris Motor Show this week, the hybrid version of the Jazz features Honda’s
innovative petrol-electric IMA system and retains the practical characteristics found in the supermini,
while lowering emissions and improving fuel economy.
The Jazz will feature the same 1.3 litre i-VTEC as the Insight hybrid and despite its taller body shape,
the new car has similar CO2 emissions of 104 g/km* - 21g/km less than the current lowest-emitting
1.2-litre petrol Jazz. As well as the environmental benefits, the cleaner emissions bring more
affordable driving too: road tax exempt for the first year and just £20 a year after, the hybrid version of the Jazz will also be free from the London congestion charge.
“We think that a cleaner, more economical version of the Jazz will be a big hit with customers,” said
John Kingston, Government Affairs and Environment Manager, Honda (UK). “The IMA hybrid
technology is incredibly easy to use, owners don‘t need to worry about plugging anything in to charge.
It‘s simply a case of filling up with petrol and driving on as normal.”
Like the Insight and Civic Hybrid models, the hybrid version of the Jazz will be capable of running on
the electric motor alone under some medium and low speed conditions and this contributes to a
combined fuel consumption figure of 64.2 mpg* - a 23 per cent improvement over the best-selling 1.4
ES model.
Honda has added this cleaner hybrid technology to the supermini while retaining the flexibility of its
unique folding Magic Seats. The IMA battery pack and power control unit have been integrated in the
area under the boot floor, keeping the normal boot area of 300 litres and allowing the Magic Seats to
fold in the same manner as non-hybrid versions. This means that the seats still fold entirely flat to
provide a surprising large boot space of 831 litres, or the seat bases can be folded to sit vertically to
accommodate tall items within the car.
The Jazz with hybrid technology will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show and will go on sale in the
UK in early 2011. Prices, homologated emissions levels and full specifications will be announced at a
later date.
