Honda Jazz to have a hybrid version

Honda Jazz lovers will soon see a hybrid version of their favourite car as Honda is planning a world debut for this version at the Paris Motor Show. The Paris Motor Show  will be held in September. The new version will have lower emissions and an improved fuel economy. Honda had launched its Civic Hybrid in 2008 in India. But even after being the first Hybrid executive sedan to enter the Indian markets, Civic Hybrid could not make the slightest impression in comparison to the Toyota Prius, its globally stronger branded competitor.  The Toyota Prius was launched in India in 2009.

The new hybrid version of Honda Jazz will have all the practicality and flexibility of the current Jazz. But the new version will have lower CO2 emissions and other  improvements to fuel economy. The new version of Honda Jazz will go on sale in the UK in early 2011. The hybrid version of new Jazz will have  the similar engine as Honda's Insight hybrid. It will have a 1.3-litre i-VTEC engine combined with a CVT gearbox. A parallel hybrid system will also be there in this version.  The hybrid Jazz will have the capability of running on the electric motor alone under some medium and low speed conditions, just like the Insight and Civic Hybrid models. The hybrid Jazz is also expected to manage and maintain the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions at comparable levels.

The hybrid version of Honda Jazz will also differ from its original version in terms of revised headlights which will have a blue surround. There will be clear rear lights and a new front grille. The restyled bumpers and a chrome tailgate garnish will be the other added features. The new hybrid Jazz will be available in a range of exciting colours and will include the new shade of a bespoke Lime Green metallic. The cabin of the new version will be given a new look and will have a darker single colour dashboard. Along with the new hybrid Jazz, Honda will display the 2011 model year Insight, CR-Z, Jazz, CR-V, Accord and Accord Tourer and a sports touring motorcycle VFR1200F which will be equipped with the V4 engine.
