Honda Jazz Hybrid for AIMS

Honda claims the new Jazz Hybrid can travel up to 850km on a single tank of fuel.

The Jazz Hybrid, on sale here in early 2013 and priced around $25,000, is the fourth hybrid petrol-electric car from Honda, joining the Civic Hybrid, Insight and the CR-Z coupe.

Like the CR-Z and Insight, the Jazz Hybrid uses Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system which couples its petrol engine with an electric motor.

It does not need an external power source to be recharged. The battery that powers the electric motor recharges automatically from the energy from braking.

Honda claims the Jazz Hybrid has an average fuel consumption of 4.5 litres/100kms and a CO2 emission of 107grams per kilometre. It can travel up to 850km on a single tank of fuel.

Honda has also confirmed its new CR-V SUV will be at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney on October 18 and go on sale in November.

The CR-V will be available with a choice of front-wheel and all-wheel drive and in petrol and diesel.
