[Automotive News]

Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd unveiled the ‘All-New Jazz Hybrid‘ on 15 March 2012, which debuts as Honda’s latest addition to its family of hybrid cars in Malaysia. This eco-friendly and practical compact 5-door is a naturally-aspirated hatchback, which features Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid system under its hood while retaining the familiar key features of the Jazz.

The All-New Jazz Hybrid was developed from the popular Jazz line-up, which was a class of it’s own when it first emerged on the market years ago. It is stylish in design, greener in its performance and extremely versatile. The All-New Jazz Hybrid draws on Honda’s efficient packaging technologies that leverage on the innovative centre tank layout, “Ultra Seat” configurations and aerodynamic features. It offers a package of compact appearance, practicality, excellent fuel efficiency, and incredible flexibility.

It is billed as a car that puts the ‘fun’ back into driving.
