Honda Jazz

Honda Jazz is a front-wheel drive B-class hatchback. The fourth generation of the model was presented in October 2019 at the Tokyo Motor Show under the name Honda Fit, and then at a special event in Amsterdam.

The fourth generation Honda Jazz received a new hybrid system Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD), in which the 1.5-liter gasoline engine is assisted by two electric motors (instead of one in the previous generation hybrid modification). The e:HEV powertrain produces 109 hp. and 253 N/m. The new Jazz accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.4 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 175 km/h. At the same time, fuel consumption in the WLTP test cycle is stated at only 4.5 l/100 km for combined driving mode.

The hatchback offers three driving modes, changing unnoticed by passengers. In Engine Drive mode, the gasoline engine (97 hp, 131 Nm) is directly connected to the wheels via a lock-up clutch. In Hybrid Drive mode, the internal combustion engine powers the electric motor-generator, which, in turn, supplies energy to the traction electric motor (109 hp, 253 Nm). Finally, in EV Drive mode, the lithium-ion battery directly supplies power to the electric motor.
