Honda Jazz Crosstar (2020 - 2023) 1.5 i-MMD Hybrid EX eCVT auto 5d Owner Review

Because of the weight of the batteries in the back, this helps the ride, which I find excellent. The steering is great, and because of the hybrid set-up, the electric motor gives instant pick-up, and everything works nice & quietly, and very economically. The only downside is that when overtaking, the engine initially revs & then the revs drop (probably the eCVT transmission). I love the cup holders in the dash, and I love the twin gloveboxes. The car entertainment system is good, the seats comfortable. The front windows rattle a bit when only opened slightly. The height adjustable seats could go a bit higher given the increased headroom over the standard Jazz. The optional rubber doormats in the back don’t meet in the middle which is a bit disappointing. The looks are maybe not as good as the Mk 3. And possibly a bit too much to Japanese taste for Europeans, but despite all this, I love this car. The dash display registers 62.2mpg since we bought it with a mix of town and country driving. I’ve checked it filling up at the ‘pump’, and my calcs would support this reading. It would be so easy to pass this car by, but I would strongly recommend you don’t.
