Question 1

What are Magic Seats in a Honda Jazz?

Accepted Answer

They are the Jazz's rear seats: the backs fold flat into the floor, or the cushions flip up like cinema seats to leave a tall space behind the front seats. Every generation has them, because the fuel tank sits under the front seats.

Question 2

Which Honda Jazz generation is the best used buy?

Accepted Answer

The 2015–2020 car is the roomiest petrol Jazz, mostly with a 1.3 i-VTEC engine and a manual or CVT gearbox. From 2020 every Jazz is an e:HEV hybrid, smoother and more economical in town, but it costs more to buy.

Question 3

Is a used Honda Jazz ULEZ compliant?

Accepted Answer

A petrol Jazz from about 2006 onwards meets Euro 4, so it can drive in London's ULEZ without paying, as can every hybrid Jazz. For an earlier first-generation car, check the registration with TfL's vehicle checker.

Question 4

What is the difference between the Honda Jazz and the Jazz Crosstar?

Accepted Answer

The Crosstar, added with the e:HEV generation in 2020, rides higher and has roof rails and rugged body trim. It shares the Jazz's hybrid powertrain and front-wheel drive, so it is not a four-wheel-drive car.

Question 5

What versions does the new Honda Jazz come in?

Accepted Answer

The new Jazz is sold only as the 1.5 e:HEV hybrid with 122PS and an automatic transmission. Trims run Advance, Advance Sport and Elegance, and the Crosstar comes in Advance trim.
