- Today on Buckle Up Harry takes a spin in the Hybrid Honda Jazz, a B-segment Supermini with lots of practical touches. It's got a cute face and magic seats, but is it better than the opposition?
Up against cars such as the Vauxhall Corsa, Peugeot 208, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris, Citroen C3, Renault Clio, Nissan Micra, Volkswagen Polo, Mini Hatch, Audi A1, Hyundai i20, Alfa Romeo Mito, Skoda Fabia, Dacia Sandero, Fiat 500, MG 3, Suzuki Swift, Mazda 2, Ford Fiesta and Seat Ibiza.

Buckle Up is a channel that is only interested in one thing - cars!
We upload a myriad of different content including car review videos, car challenge videos, car news videos and much, much more!
Our videos are made in a similar style to that of Top Gear, Fifth Gear, Car Throttle, Doug DeMuro, carwow, Carfection, The Grand Tour, MotorTrend and many more.
We would all thoroughly recommend their channels, so why not go and check them out. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Great review you guys! Your channel is very refreshing and not as "generic" as the other Auto Channels. It does not feel like you've watched other reviewers review the car and then copied their comments in the video. I am keen to watch the rest of your videos.
Glad you enjoyed the video. A lot of people seem to. Immediately write the Jazz off as an old persons car, that's the main thing I didn't want to do.
8:45: this search confirms this is a well done review.
We like to do a thorough test
Having recently tested both... Went with the Jazz! Both excellent, and definitely trail blazing the supermini hybrid market in style.
A man after my own heart
My Jazz EX Style was delivered last week.
Absolutely love it!
Glad you're enjoying it
@@BuckleUpShow
Believe it or not..
I have jumped from a still concourse purchased new, 1988 Peugeot 205 GRD to this wonderful Jazz. The looming ULEZ rules in August made me sell the Pug.
Great review Harry! 👍
About 3 weeks ago I wrote to your review of the Toyota Yaris:
"Just my advice: also visit the Honda dealer." and: "A test drive costs you nothing... and can be very surprising!" 😲
I was referring to this Jazz and guess what: I think we agree.😉
My advice to anyone looking for a (not too) small hybrid: take an extensive test drive in both, the Yaris (or Yaris Cross) and the Jazz (or the Crosstar) !
Now we just need to get our hands on the newly unveiled Renault Clio hybrid to see how that stacks up
@@BuckleUpShow
We wait patiently...😉
I wonder what you'll think of the Clio's, in my opinion, strange "hesitating" powertrain.
My sister and brother-in-law have the Clio Hybrid and I find it a bit strange how the Clio seems to occasionally search for the right gear.
Very nice review, enjoyed.
Very lovely comment, appreciated ☺️
It looks like a cute robot! Unfortunately I would get the last model with manual gearbox. GK5 with the L15 non-turbo engine.
Can't blame you, honda do make a sweet manual
'14 Civic driver here. I had it for months before I knew about the magic seats. I wish I had a garden, there would so many tall plants in there
Have you considered the possibility of being a sheep russler?
I just got mine!
Hope you enjoy it
A great review Harry. Very informative indeed. Wonder what the long term hybrid reliability will be like. I was waiting for you to put Jasper in the boot lol 🙂
Honda have no significant issues reported with their e:HEV System so far
@@BuckleUpShow Thank you 🙂
You get an 8 year warranty on the battery too which is nice (and expensive!)
I have the 2009 Jazz (with the i-Shift system), and there is a lot of stuff to like about this new iteration - the USB ports in the back, the softer suspension (it's notably stiff in older Jazzes), the radar cruise control, Android Auto, and, of course, the e:HEV system. If it didn't have the fake gear changes, and was actually a PHEV (akin to the i3), it would be a perfect, small-yet-spacious, good-economy car. As it stands, the technology is basically inferior to 2014 i3's range-extended EV drivetrain, as you don't have the option to charge it (in public, if not at home). Also, it's sad that the fold-down armrest is omitted, as it's a really handy feature in the older models.
Overall, a great upgrade over the older models, but not without its own flaws...
I think you might be idealising the i3 system there a little, it was a good idea but in practice it wasn't brilliant
I've had three Jazzes and like the seating position -- one of the reasons the driver is higher is that Honda put the fuel tank under the front seats, which is why the rear footwell is so deep.
It's very clever packaging, but I do prefer a lower seating position if I can get it
@@BuckleUpShow Yes, it's personal preference. Personally, I like the feeling of being in an MPV without the actual bulk.
I also usually like the higher seating position (being 177 cm tall), and in Citroën Berlingo for example, I put it on highest, and the visibility is awesome. However, in my Mk.2 Jazz (2009), I lowered the seat to the lowest setting, because, the windshield doesn't go as high as it does in Berlingo, so I feel like driving a tank, without the view of the sky, and also the rear-view mirror gets closer to the eye-line and it starts to impede visibility.
Owned a Jazz Crosstar and a Jogger Hybrid. Crosstar a far better built car, but i prefer the Jogger for space and practicality
Wouldn't it be amazing if the interior of the Jogger was as intelligently designed as the Jazz though, of course that would be very expensive so it would never happen, but just imagine
The starting price now for a crosstar is 28k :/. 4k more than when i got mine in 21
Its also far better put together car, i get why the jogger is cheap compared. I prefer the looks of the Jogger, if i was going to have a complaint that's not quality related, it would be the A pillars . I think they obstruct vision, especially at junctions.
@@BuckleUpShow
This is being replaced by a face lifted model with nicer bumpers and tweeks to the engine, looks even nicer.
Hopefully a change of face will help it's image
I have a 2020 Honda Jazz HEV (my 3rd Jazz) and use Apple Car Play WITHOUT wires.
Well done
I'm jealous you guys still get these cars. The Jazz (Fit) was discontinued across the pond a couple of model years ago, so the smallest and cheapest Honda you can buy in North America is a Civic, which starts around $25,000 USD. Frustratingly expensive, to say the least.
Speaking of things we don't have over here, what kind of Pepsi is that with that green label and cap? 🧐
It's Pepsi lime
@@BuckleUpShowturns out we do have it and that I have the memory of a goldfish
Yeah, I'm disappointed too that we can't get the newest generation Fit here. Most of the used ones here in California with under 20,000 miles are going for $20,000-$23,000 (yeah, used car prices are still ridiculous), but I was able to find a 2020 Fit at a So Cal dealership with 19,000 miles for $18,600 last month. Absolutely loving the versatility of it!
Wish Honda would match Toyota's warranty then I'd buy one.
Toyota's warranty is hard to say no to
hope you made it to Twatt
I'll get there one day
This is not the 2023 model, the 2023 model has been facelifted. I own the model you are showing, it's red and I bought it in May 2021. I will say I'm very pleased with it though.
The facelift has only just made it to forecourts, there are more than four months of 2023 already passed where the pre-facelift has been on sale as a 2023 model
Is noise road bad?
No it's very refined for a small car
@@BuckleUpShow ok but you said a far worse than yaris so...
I don't think I said far worse, it's not as good at the Yaris but the Yaris is best in class
@@BuckleUpShow ok would you pick jazz over a mini ? And does jazz drives better than yaris?
A Jazz does drive better than a Yaris, I would still pick a Mini personally
I prefer the old model . Gone way too expensive. Feels like you’re driving a greenhouse.
I mean, that's just all new cars unfortunately
CVT Just means "continuos variable transmition", and this is it.
Anyway it works like a Electric range extender except for the "overdrive gear" (that actually is not)....
So this is a series/parallel hybrid with continuos variable transmition.
There are a lot of differents kinds of CVT
Where your argument Falls down is the T of CVT, there is no direct drive transmission from the engine to the wheels other than for the high range gear, and if no drive is bring transmitted then there is nothing to continuesly vary.
Calling it a CVT sells both the ingenuity and driving feel of the e:HEV propulsion system short
@@BuckleUpShow there is an oil bath multi-disc clutch (as most of modern motorbikes) to engage the highway gear...there you are, a transmition.
Other way will be a conventional range extender electric car. This is a series/parallel hybrid CVT.
There is no continuous variation in the traditional sense, as the drive under all conditions (bar high-speed, low demand driving) is electric. The engine runs a motor-generator, which is used to power a second motor, though this is not a direct connection, it is powered via a battery buffer. Primarily, the e:HEV system is an electric drive one, just with a built in generator, except at high speeds where it becomes a direct drive powertrain.
@@BuckleUpShow ...except...
So...
Search Google: "tipes of CVT"
Nice videos 👍
The e:HEV system is not a CVT though. The vehicle can move under electric power alone. Even when the engine is running it is completely physically detached from the drive axle in all but specific drive cases, and when it is connected, it is a single-speed gear, not a transmission that is continuously variable. Thanks for watching 😊
HATE THE HONDA WHEELS 1ST FING I BOUGHT FOR MY RED EX A SET GOLD AND POLISHED WHEELS A REAL HEAD TURNER
Have they affected the MPG at all?
Nice car too expensive
Compared to rivals optioned up with the same amount of equipment it's not bad, but it would be nice if they offered a more basic spec
Haha! The most revolting part of the design is that horrible Miss Piggy nose. On the 2023 face‐lift finally they've got rid of that eyesore and even found some half‐decent wheel‐trims. For all that the overall result is still one ginormous mess; quite t h e most ugly‐looking supermini on the market and obscenely expensive.
I like that it stands out and the utility and intelligence of the car overall for me places it high up on my list of superminis
What a seriously ugly, disjointed‐looking car... no one angle gels with any of its neighbours - the thing was was likely designed by a committee that couldn't make up its mind what it ultimately wanted. To round it off there are those toytown wheel covers, h i d e o u s. The word that leaps to mind to best describe the Jazz's overall appearance is 'frumpy'.
(I know a granny who swears hers runs on 'elder'berry wine.)
I think it's entirely possible the design team were told "design it with purpose" but what they actually heard is "design it with porpoise" and if you imagine that was their goal they did a brilliant job
