Honda Jazz (2020 – current) | Knowledgeable Ranking


Summary


The Honda Jazz is a five-door supermini-class small hatchback. This model was launched in the summer of 2020, with the only engine option being a 1.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid.

The Jazz is also available as a faux off-road version called the Jazz Crosstar, which sits a little bit higher and has big grey plastic trim pieces but is no better at crossing the Sahara than an ordinary Jazz.

As of June 2023, the Honda Jazz has an overall Expert Rating of 63%, which puts it right in the middle of a large and very competitive field of small cars. It has been praised for its practicality, with more room for both passengers and luggage than similarly sized rivals. The hybrid system also makes it economical for urban driving. The regular Jazz usually scores better than the Crosstar when tested separately.

Jazz highlights

  • Low running costs
  • Spacious and practical cabin
  • Well-equipped as standard

Jazz lowlights

  • Not all that run to drive
  • Some cheap interior plastics
  • Expensive when compare to similarly-sized rivals

Three-and-a-half stars

The Honda Jazz was awarded a 3.5-star eco rating from Green NCAP in July 2021. Green NCAP said: “The Honda Jazz 1.5 i-MMD Hybrid represents the latest in petrol-hybrid and diesel technologies, and performs well.

“It achieves high scores for Energy Efficiency and also does very well for Clean Air. The Greenhouse Gas Index is the weakest of the three areas of assessment, but the Honda emerges with a solid 3½ star rating.”

All data based on MotorEasy average workshop costs for extended car warranty claims

As of January 2023, the Honda Jazz has an outstanding reliability rating of 80%, according to warranty data provided exclusively to us by our commercial partner, MotorEasy. This score applies to both this generation Jazz and previous (pre-2020) generations, which is good news if you are considering a used Honda Jazz.

Although we don’t have a huge number of data points yet, the repair bills claimed under warranty to date have been very inexpensive. All in all, the Jazz looks like being a reliable choice as a used car.
