Honda has gone to great lengths to make sure the Jazz is as efficient as possible; everyday costs should be low as a result. That low-cost trend continues across other aspects of Jazz ownership, too, meaning it should retain its crown as one of the most sensible choices in the supermini class.

Honda Jazz hybrid insurance group

The old Honda Jazz sat in groups 13 and 19 depending on engine, but this latest version is rated in groups 19 and 20, so coverage could be slightly more expensive. That’s also a slightly higher group rating than applies to the Jazz's close rival, the Renault Clio E-TECH hybrid.

Warranty

Honda has a fairly complex warranty system that covers various parts of the car for different periods of time. The hybrid drivetrain is covered by a five-year or 90,000-mile warranty, while chassis corrosion is guaranteed against for 10 years and structural corrosion for 12. There’s also exhaust system corrosion coverage for five years and surface corrosion coverage for three years.

Servicing

A five-year fixed price service deal is available for £700, with the opportunity to create a tailored service plan to suit your needs.

Road tax

From the second year, you’ll pay £170 in road tax (VED). As it’s classed as an ‘alternative-fuel vehicle’ you receive a £10 discount on the regular £180 rate.
