Manufacturer’s statement for consumption too modest
The Honda Jazz 1.5 Hybrid has to tolerate only three cars above it in the top ten of most economical petrol cars without a plug. At least, if you assume the manufacturer’s specification for consumption. The current generation launched in 2020 is only available in our country as a hybrid, and not only is the manufacturer’s specification neat, the consumption in practice of the Jazz is also very neat. The Jazz drivers who keep track of their car’s consumption in the Consumption Monitor achieve an average of 1 in 23.
Okay, it has been rounded off to 1 in 23 because it is 4.35 liters per 100 kilometers, which amounts to 1 in 22.99. This makes the Jazz in practice more economical than the Renault Clio Hybrid 140, which has a better manufacturer specification. In practice, it achieves an average of 1 to 20.3. However, the Jazz is not as economical as the economy champion Toyota Yaris Hybrid, which averages out at 1 to 23.3 in practice. Incidentally, there are fewer people of the Honda Jazz 1.5 Hybrid who keep track of their car’s consumption. There are only five, the average practical consumption of the Renault and Toyota is based on the input of more drivers.
Jazz 1.5 Hybrid tested against Yaris Hybrid and Clio Hybrid
The three cars are similar in size and cost, which is why we brought the trio together two years ago. Then the Yaris was the most economical, the Jazz the second most economical and the Clio the least economical. The practical consumption of Jazz Hybrid came in that test at 1 to 18.8, in the summer of that year we achieved 1 to 20.6. Figures that are significantly worse than those of the Jazz drivers in the Consumption Monitor, but a test in AutoWeek is not intended to break fuel economy records by means of hypermiling.
Most economical consumption: almost 1 in 25
The most economical Jazz 1.5 Hybrid comes no less than 24.9 kilometers on a liter of petrol. There is also a Jazz Crossstar rider that tops out at 1 in 20.0. That is the slightly roughed-up version of the Jazz and it is therefore slightly less economical.
Factory specification
Honda specifies a consumption of 4.5 l/100 km for the Jazz 1.5 Hybrid, which equates to 1 to 22.2. This is according to the WLTP method, according to the NEDC cycle, which is further removed from reality, it is 3.7 to 3.9 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on the version. In practice you end up somewhere in between.
