Honda UK has released pricing and specification for the all-new e:HEV hybrid powered Jazz and Jazz Crosstar models.

Entry-level models are priced from £18,980 OTR.

The new Jazz is capable of returning 62mpg while emitting 102g/km (WLTP) of CO2.

It uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired to two electric motors, developing a total of 109PS.

SE grade models are priced from £18,980 OTR, rising to £20,180 OTR for the mid-level SR grade, £21,380 OTR for the top spec EX.

There will also be a Crosstar version with black plastic cladding, to give a more rugged look.  It is priced from £23,580.

Phil Webb, head of car at Honda UK, said: “We’re pleased to confirm the pricing for the all-new Honda Jazz and Jazz Crosstar models. Following on from the successful introduction of the all-electric Honda e, the electrified Jazz is designed to encourage those who might not be prepared to make the leap to a full electric drivetrain.

“The new Jazz is the embodiment of the brand’s commitment to a fully-electrified range and is another symbolic step towards our electric vision for 100% of European sales to be electrified by 2022.”

Order banks for the Honda Jazz are open from March 3, with deliveries expected from early Q2 2020.
