Honda Jazz Fuel Consumption

Avatar

The Honda Jazz demonstrates strong fuel efficiency across its generations, with real-world user data and official figures supporting its reputation as an economical hatchback.

Real-world fuel consumption for the Honda Jazz (2016–2018 petrol models) averages between 32 and 36 miles per gallon (mpg) in combined conditions, based on actual user data from over 800 owners. For example, the 2016 Honda Jazz has a combined average of 34.85 mpg, while the 2017 model shows an average of 36.2 mpg[1][5]. Best-case drivers report up to 45 mpg, while others record lower figures, largely depending on driving style, journey type, and conditions[1].

The hybrid (e:HEV) versions of the Honda Jazz offer notably better fuel economy. Independent tests of the 2023/2024/2025 Jazz Crosstar e:HEV Hybrid report:

  • City driving (urban): 3.2 l/100 km (73.5 mpg US / 88.3 mpg UK)
  • Highway at 90 km/h (56 mph): 4.0 l/100 km (58.8 mpg US / 70.6 mpg UK)
  • Highway at 120 km/h (75 mph): 6.0 l/100 km (39.2 mpg US / 47.1 mpg UK)

With a 40-litre tank, city range is estimated at 1130–1250 km (700–775 miles). About 83% of test time in city scenarios was with the combustion engine off, reflecting hybrid benefits in urban use[2][7].

Official figures for the Jazz Hybrid list up to 62.8 mpg combined (WLTP). However, real-world results may be lower due to urban driving, cold weather, and load, with typical users seeing 48–53 mpg in practical use[3][4].

Among petrol-only versions, the 1.2-litre engine returns around 53.3 mpg under extra-urban test conditions, but actual user averages are several mpg lower, as shown above[4].

Summary:

  • 2016–2018 petrol models: 32–36 mpg (real-world average)
  • Hybrid models (e:HEV, recent years): 48–65 mpg typical real-world, up to 73 mpg in city driving
  • Best results achieved in city or steady-speed driving for hybrids
