Design & Presence

The Jazz cuts a friendly, practical profile that hides clever packaging under a compact silhouette measuring just over four metres in length, while the Crosstar adds a slightly taller, rugged look for buyers who like SUV cues without the bulk. Lines are clean rather than flashy, which keeps the Jazz looking modern in town and unobtrusive on the motorway. Despite its small footprint the stance appears stable and purposeful, and the modest 175 km/h top speed matches the car’s sensible appearance. Current Jazz line-up is concentrated on Honda’s full‑hybrid 1.5 i‑MMD e:HEV architecture with the same 122 hp setup across trims and slightly varying official consumption figures.

Interior & Usability

The cabin is deliberately straightforward with durable plastics where it matters and soft touches on interfaces most drivers use, giving the Jazz an air of practical quality rather than premium pretence. Visibility is excellent thanks to a high seating position and slim pillars, which makes city manoeuvres and tight parking noticeably easier. Controls are logically positioned and the infotainment is easy to navigate, though some rivals offer a more upscale finish at the same price. Rear passengers benefit from a light, airy feeling thanks to tall windows and sensible ergonomics.

Space & Everyday Practicality

The Jazz remains a benchmark for clever packaging with five seats and a 304‑litre boot that stretches to a maximum of 1,205 litres with the rear seats folded, so weekly shopping and weekend trips are both handled without drama. The rear seat arrangement retains the flexible-folding concept that allows for a flat load floor or a “tall item” mode, meaning awkward cargo like tall plants or suitcases fit more easily than in many rivals. Curb weights sit around 1,300–1,320 kg with payloads near 370–388 kg, which is typical for a hybrid hatchback and leaves enough capacity for four adults plus luggage in everyday use. Overall packaging philosophy favours usable space over showy features, which pays off for families and practical buyers.

Driving & Handling

Under the bonnet the Jazz pairs a 1.5‑litre engine with Honda’s i‑MMD hybrid system to deliver a combined 122 hp and about 253 Nm of system torque, getting to 100 km/h in roughly 9.4–9.7 seconds — brisk for a small family hatch. The chassis is tuned for comfort and predictability rather than sporty thrills, with light steering and a forgiving suspension that soaks up urban imperfections without feeling wallowy on faster roads. The CVT gearbox is smooth in everyday driving but can drone under hard acceleration, so gentle throttle inputs are best for refinement. For motorway cruising the Jazz feels stable and composed, and the compact dimensions make overtaking and lane changes straightforward.

Efficiency, Consumption & Range

Fuel consumption is a strong suit: official figures range around 4.5–4.8 L/100 km depending on trim, which translates to a practical real-world combined range of roughly 830–890 km from the 40‑litre tank under mixed driving. The hybrid system shines in town where the electric motor cuts petrol use during low-speed cruising and stop-start traffic, making running costs comparable to small diesels without the diesel drawbacks. On longer motorway stints the internal combustion engine works harder and fuel use rises, but overall ownership costs remain attractive for commuters and urban families. CO2 emissions in the low 100s g/km mirror the sensible economy and help with lower tax and fleet penalties in many markets.

Assistance & Infotainment

The Jazz comes with a modern suite of driver aids including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping support and emergency braking systems that make everyday driving less stressful and safer for families. Infotainment supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for familiar smartphone integration, and the interface is functional with physical controls where it matters for ease of use on the move. While the system isn’t the flashiest in the class, it prioritises clarity and reliability, which suits buyers who want technology that works rather than dazzles. Available safety and convenience options round out the package for those wanting extra peace of mind.

Who is it for?

The Jazz is aimed at buyers who prioritise everyday practicality, low running costs and a fuss-free ownership experience over sporty pretensions or luxury appointments. Its clever interior packaging, frugal hybrid powertrain and easy-driving nature make it an excellent choice for city dwellers, small families and anyone who wants a compact car that behaves much bigger in daily life. Those looking for a more emotionally charged drive or premium interior would be better off looking elsewhere, but for sensible buyers the Jazz remains a convincing all-rounder.
