Jazz Hybrid in Band A

Preliminary figures suggest Band A emissions for Honda's new hybrid.

Honda has revealed more details of the Jazz Hybrid, which will debut at the Paris Motor Show this week. 

We first reported on the petrol-electric Jazz back in August.  Now Honda has released initial figures for fuel consumption and CO2 emissions at 4.5 litres/100km and 104g/km respectively.  The Jazz still has to go through the official EU tests so those figures may change slightly.

The Jazz shares its 1.3-litre engine with the Insight hybrid.  By packaging the batteries under the boot floor Honda has managed to retain the boot space and versatile folding 'Magic Seats'.  As well as folding flat to extend the boot from 300- to 831 litres, the seat bases can be folded vertically to make room for tall items in the car.

The Jazz Hybrid will go on sale in Ireland in 2011.  Prices, specifications and official fuel consumption will be confirmed before that, but you can be sure it'll be in Band A.
