Equipping with a functional and simple design, the new Honda Jazz, which makes it easier for everyday life, preserves the known outlines of the model while the modern lines also make the vehicle new appearance.

As one of the most successful examples of Honda engineering and design philosophy, the components of the hybrid power-acrma system are cleverly integrated into the chassis and engine compartment. In this way, while maintaining the interior width and practicality of Jazz; A new and modern power-active system is available. E: Hev technology developed for Jazz brings together high fuel efficiency, superior driving features and experience closest to electric driving. The system consists of one electric motor, one generator, one 1.5 i-VTEC gasoline engine, a lithium ion battery and an innovative transmission. With the advanced and passive security features of the new Honda Jazz, driving support systems make life easier and provide superior driving safety.

The new Jazz, which was offered for the first time in Türkiye with the developed hybrid power-active system and carries the new E: Hev logo of Honda, is one of the best in its class with its interior comfort and practical usage features; It has been redesigned to offer superior performance and advanced fuel efficiency together.

E: System in Hev Technology developed for Jazz; One electric motor, one generator, one 1.5 i-VTEC gasoline engine, lithium ion battery, an innovative fixed rate transmission, and a smart power control unit that allows the entire system to work in harmony with each other. The electric motor has a system of 109 PS / 80 kW and can produce 253 Nm of torque; The new Jazz completes its 0-100 km/h acceleration in 9.5 seconds and attracts attention with its engine performance that reaches a maximum speed of 175 km/h.

E: Hev System; It uses three different driving modes to provide high fuel efficiency with superior driving pleasure. Home driving In mode, the lithium ion battery feeds the electric motor more intensively; Hybrid driving While in the mode, the engine activates the electrical generator and feeds the generator electric motor.

Gasoline driving In the mode, the gasoline engine directly activates the front wheels through a locked grip. In general, under urban driving conditions, the system moves between home driving and hybrid driving to the highest level; It is supported by the gasoline driving electric motor in highway driving and acceleration.

In hybrid driving mode, the power of the gasoline engine is directed to charge the battery with its generator motor. In addition, the electric driving mode is slowing down while the car is slowing down and it charge the battery with the energy obtained by regenerative brake.

The high -speed electric motor for the transition between driving modes not felt by passengers was developed by Honda engineers, as mild, compact and efficient as possible. Instead of a traditional transmission, the new Jazz is offered by the new electronic fixed-speed transmission (E-CVT) equipment with a single fixed gear ratio to provide a direct connection between moving components.
