2013 HONDA JAZZ HYBRID

Honda has announced Australian pricing and specifications for the new Jazz Hybrid light car, ahead of its sales debut later this month.

The Hybrid arrives at $22,990 (plus on-roads), undercutting Toyota's light Prius C hybrid by $1000 and stealing the crown as Australia's most affordable hybrid.

The ultra-green hatch is offered in one specification, matching a 1.3 litre i-VTEC petrol engine with Honda's familiar IMA electric system and a CVT automatic.

Together, the system produces 72kW and 167Nm of torque, with fuel consumption listed at 4.5 l/100km - bettered still by the Prius C's 3.9 l/100km. Carbon emissions are listed at 107g/km.

The Hybrid’s standard feature list includes Auto idle-stop, Eco Assist, ECON Mode, rear privacy glass and a temporary spare wheel.

The space-saver spare wheel replaces the regular Jazz's full-size spare wheel, in order to minimise weight gain. The Jazz Hybrid weighs around 50kg more than the petrol Jazz.

There's also steering-mounted audio controls, along with Bluetooth, iPod compatible USB and auxiliary audio connectivity.

Safety features include six airbags (front, side, full-length curtain), anti-lock brakes and Brake Assist, along with Vehicle Stability Assist and Traction Control, and Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering construction.
