SMALL CAR, BIG SURPRISE! ALL-NEW HONDA JAZZ E:HEV FULL REVIEW HONDA FIT HYBRID 2021

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Honda Jazz (or Fit) e:HEV presents a significant leap forward, particularly in its interior quality and practicality. The reviewer highlights the premium feel of the seats, the innovative Magic Seats offering exceptional cargo flexibility, and a surprisingly spacious cabin for its class. The infotainment system is praised for its speed and straightforward interface, even surpassing some Volkswagen systems. However, the e:HEV mild-hybrid system, while capable of achieving impressive fuel economy (under 5L/100km), comes at a higher price point and lacks outright power, especially at higher speeds. The reviewer notes that while the hybrid tech is interesting, a simpler powertrain might have been more cost-effective. Despite the power deficit and increased cost, the Jazz is lauded for its refined driving experience, comfortable ride, precise steering, and excellent all-around visibility, making it a strong contender in the small car segment, albeit with a premium price tag.
