2011 Honda Jazz Hybrid is the newest member of the Japanese firm’s hybrid family employs the same 1.3-liter gasoline engine and a continuously-variable automatic transmission with an electric motor sandwiched between them as the Insight. We don’t have output figures yet, but don’t expect any significant differences over Honda’s dedicated hybrid model.
Hybrid version is a little different with the standard Honda Jazz, there is a new grille and front bumper design, while the head lamp and tail light crystals have been re-trimmed. The hybrid model also gets what appears to be a panoramic glass top.
Until recently, it was not clear if the subcompact hybrid model would be launched in markets outside Japan. And while now we know that the hybrid model will make its way to Europe, Honda officials have yet to announce any plans to offer the car in North America. More details should be announced before the opening of the Paris Motor this September.
