Honda Jazz Hybrid (2011) CAR review

Honda Jazz Hybrid (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 03 May 2011 13:45

You usually associate hybrids with Toyota and Lexus, but not Honda – Honda makes high-revving VTEC engines, right? However, the torque-rich nature of electric motors mean they’re ideally suited to a synchronous life with a petrol engine that produces power at high revs. And with the launch of the new, facelifted Jazz, Honda has squeezed an electrified powertrain into its sensible ...

Honda CR-Z hybrid (2010) CAR review

Honda CR-Z hybrid (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anonymous, 19 May 2010 11:56

This isn’t what I’d been led to expect. The new 2010 Honda CR-Z hybrid coupe is billed as ‘the world’s first sporty hybrid’, so I’d anticipated something a bit more electric and 21st century; something weird, whooshy, torquey and maybe a bit aloof. But instead of being fast-forwarded a decade, it’s all gone a bit Life on Mars. The new ...

But has it cracked the hybrid car question? Read Ben Barry's live blog as we report live from the launch this afternoon. NB start at the bottom ...

Honda Insight (2009) petrol-electric hybrid CAR review

Honda Insight (2009) petrol-electric hybrid CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

That’s no Honda Insight hybrid car. Where are the Ford T-Bird wheel skirts? You’re thinking of the original petrol-electric Honda Insight from the late 1990s. This is Insight hybrid Mk2. It’s still a petrol-electric hybrid but instead of two seats, this one’s got room for five. It’s meant to be a mainstream green car, a hybrid that will appeal to ...

Honda Civic IMA CAR (2007) review

Honda Civic IMA CAR (2007) review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Oliver, 27 June 2007 12:44

The poor man’s Prius? The Civic IMA is certainly cheaper than the better-known Prius, starting from £16,300 to the Toyota’s £17,765. Its propulsion principle is the same; IMA stands for Integrated Motor Assist. Both cars are petrol-electric hybrids and use batteries to store the energy that would otherwise be lost during braking. That energy is then sent to an electric ...
