Honda has confirmed the launch of the hybrid version of its Jazz supermini at the upcoming Paris Motor Show in September next month.
The Jazz Hybrid will borrow the hybrid drivetrain from Honda’s Insight featuring a 1.3 liter petrol engine combined with an electric motor and mated to a CVT gearbox. Honda says that Jazz Hybrid will be able to run on electric power alone under some medium and low speed conditions.
Externally, the hybrid variant will have revised headlight units with blue surround, restyled front and rear bumper and clear lens tail lights. The interiors will get blue lightening for the instrument console, single color dashboard and optional leather trim for the first time in Europe.

Although there are no official figures on fuel efficiency or emissions, the new Jazz Hybrid will match the Insight’s 61 mpg urban fuel consumption figure and 101 g/km of CO2 emissions.
The Jazz Hybrid will go on sale in UK from early next year.
