Honda Jazz Hybrid

Honda is set to introduce the smallest and cheapest hybrid in the UK in the next couple of months. It will be the UK's first hybrid supermini. Unfortunately, reviewers are claiming that the Jazz Hybrid is not as green as it supposedly sounds. It has CO2 emissions of 104g/km, higher than the 89g/km from the Auris and higher than the 99g/km from the Fiesta.

Honda product managers claimed that the Jazz Hybrid was not specifically engineered for the UK or to avoid the London congestion charge @ 100g/km. And if they were to do so, they would have to install a larger battery or remove sound-deadening material which would cause the Jazz to lose refinement.

However, Honda is still confident that its latest rendition of the Jazz will be a very popular model, especially in the fleets. It will be priced at GBP 15 995 (US $25 500~), around GBP 3 000 lower than the Toyota Auris Hybrid.
