Honda debuted a hybrid version of its popular Jazz at the Paris motor show. Honda claim a combined economy of 64.2mpg and 104g/km of CO2 emissions.

The Jass Hybrid shares most of its powertrain components with the Insight. The engine and electric motor is mated to a CVT gearbox and, like the Insight, the Jazz will be able to run on electric power alone in low-speed conditions.

The Hybrid gets revised headlights with a blue surround, clear tail-lights, a new front grille, different bumpers and flashes of chrome on the rear hatch to make it stand out from the standard variant of the Jazz. The interior gets blue-lit dials and instruments.Despite the addition of a battery pack and IMA control unit under the boot floor, boot space is unchanged at 300 litres.

The new Jazz Hybrid will be available in showrooms across the UK early next year.
