Desmond is the best host by far… covers all grounds.. technical, price, unbiased comparison with other cars, and the delivery of his review is smooth, no repeated adjectives, no bad presentation habits.. perhaps can inject a little bit of humour now and then. thumbs up.
Nice video once again, love it that its unbiased . I had a fairly hard time choosing between a Note Epower and the Jazz Hybrid myself. The Note won for being $5K cheaper, a far more punchy drive train (0-100 7.8s!) and as you said , its gorgeous looks. I also loved its sporty interior and high transmission tunnel / arm rest. In the note, the engine appears to come on far less often , and because of that you get a sensation of gliding for most of your journey. That said, I would say the Jazz is a tremendously good car. I love its visibility, its flexible interior and its more cosseting ride. No doubt it has a smarter interior, better safety systems and a far more integrated infotainment. In terms of handling, I think the note feels more chuckable with the potential for some lift off oversteer ( unintentionally helped by the strong regen braking). If you are a family man... the Jazz will be the choice, but if you are looking for a cool city golf cart, the Note is hard to beat. For FC, i dont own the Jazz , but the Note over the last 2000km has a long term average of 21km/l with a rather heavy foot. The Yaris Cross Hybrid is just unbearably unrefined in terms of drivetrain compared to these 2, but that car seems to have a beautiful chassis. By the way, 150hp output for the Jazz might be an error ?
Prefer the previous gen front grill. Looks more sharp and agressive. The current one is too feminine looking. Boot space is also in fact smaller at 284 litres. The previous one is 354 litres.
It is 35k here in NZ! The heck the price there triple! I have a car like this and i can say that you can enable android auto wireless in hidden settings in the infotainment!
the nissan may looks better,but the Honda is the better car,did you mention the build-in 10! airbags for maxi safty?the magic seats find you only in the Jazz.the cabin has more space than the Toyota Yaris hybrid and the cabin is more silence too.experience with the Yaris hybrid 2024 and the Honda Jazz Crosstar 2024.i strongly prefer the Jazz hybrid in this.
Its year 2021, the Ionic 5 and Kia EV6 has much better design and future looks. Performance is on par if not better than the Jazz, price wise depends on what it will be when it's out. Hybrid vs E.V. is a tricky question for buyers.
the difference is, the Kia and Hyundai start at twice the price of this Jazz, also obviously, the Jazz is a Hybrid with a .86 kwh battery, the other two are plug BEV's with batteries starting at 50kwh, cannot compare. As I type, we have 800 units on their way to NZ, one of them is my wife's, this will be our 4th Jazz, brilliant little cars.
Most controversial part, the looks?? Nonsense! This is the future, watch Nissan copy it soon! Japanese cars are over shaped. Toyota CHR / old Hondas anyone? Panel cuts / lights sticking out / fake aero inserts, all of it, what does it do? Turbulence! Turbulence means wasting fuel and adding windnoise at speed. (the germans know this already) This thing look slippy! I love it. If anyone can fin out the CD of this thing, I'd love to hear it. Thank you Honda for integrating efficiency into the styling of your car. Not like the planet is melting. Looking at you Honda CHR.
coming from previous gen of jazz owner view.. this is... omfg ugly... maybe a few years later, Kah may bring in "facelift" variant with better look... for now, the exterior simply dun work and yes, that asking price is way too high for this range of car
I second that it looks ugly AF. Especially the front resembles cars seen in some of the animated movies. I own a previous version Jazz and that looks much better than this new version. God knows what the design team in Honda were thinking.
This dude is unbiased, hope to see more of these.

thumbs up.
Im liking this host, would want him around more
@4:39 'this is a cheap car after all'... It's only in Singapore you say that $107,000 for a car is cheap.
Better presenter than Julian tbh. Positive, enjoyable and joyful vibe. He knows his points and doesnt “lag” or stutter like Julian. More of him pls!
this is by far the best host, hope to see you more often on Sgcarmart car review videos Desmond!

Looking back, 107999 is cheaper. Now it is almost 14K
Good review. Especially the summary of why it is go try.
Thank you. One of the best, most balanced reviews I've seen.
If it has the body of the old jazz and the power train and tech upgrades of the new one, sure no fight
Excellent review, and nice to see you guys drive on the same side of the road as us!
Pervious GK5 was nice. This jazz makes me not coming back any time soon.
Great review; host did a great job
Thanks guys!

What about the maintenance and reliability? Cost of repairs for the hybrid battery and inverter after warranty?
Did u just bump into another car’s rear before this review as the bonnet seemed crumbled. 🤔
So how long till u need to replace the batteries?
Great work again!
Honda Engine Drive makes sense for aggressive acceleration. True engineering company.
love the cabin, but really cannot deal with the weird front design/nose infront. great review as always!
It is 35k here in NZ! The heck the price there triple! I have a car like this and i can say that you can enable android auto wireless in hidden settings in the infotainment!
nicely done video!
The front looks like Lord Voldemort
can you review the toyota raize?
What is the FC? Looks like u miss the point of a hybrid
I’’m getting 20-24KM/L on my 1.3GK 😂
Looks like you miss the whole point in watching the video entirely
He clearly says that he gets abt 23km/litre.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Maybe luggages not so relevant in today’s setting :) can try loading bicycle and Ikea stuff ? Haha
So they discontinued it in North America but came out with a new gen everywhere else 😡😡😡
Seems like the lovechild of prius + sienta + previous jazz
I look at the front, it reminds me of Aibo, Sony's robot.
minimalist society nowadays, do not need big luggage anymore..
pls review the new vezel/hrv!
150 horse power?
Vezel e:HEV review soon, i hope!
the nissan may looks better,but the Honda is the better car,did you mention the build-in 10! airbags for maxi safty?the magic seats find you only in the Jazz.the cabin has more space than the Toyota Yaris hybrid and the cabin is more silence too.experience with the Yaris hybrid 2024 and the Honda Jazz Crosstar 2024.i strongly prefer the Jazz hybrid in this.
Auntie trolley ought to be fully filled for a more realistic test.
One of my favourite hosts but.. keep the hands on the wheels! At least when on camera 😂
Finally adjustable head rest for back seats 👍
opel cars when?
107999 for a car the size of a kancil, this car is worth at most 80k.
singapore tax lol
The Honda Fit e-Hev brought in by PI selling at least 10K cheaper.
Like blue sg
Fugly! Did the Jazz and Nissan Note swapped designer? Honda designers lost their mojo on this. 😅
Its year 2021, the Ionic 5 and Kia EV6 has much better design and future looks. Performance is on par if not better than the Jazz, price wise depends on what it will be when it's out.
Hybrid vs E.V. is a tricky question for buyers.
its not on par, its on a totally different planet. ioniq5 is 313hp and 5.2 0-100.... and this jazz...?
the difference is, the Kia and Hyundai start at twice the price of this Jazz, also obviously, the Jazz is a Hybrid with a .86 kwh battery, the other two are plug BEV's with batteries starting at 50kwh, cannot compare. As I type, we have 800 units on their way to NZ, one of them is my wife's, this will be our 4th Jazz, brilliant little cars.
Honda butchered the Jazz. The did the same with the previous Civic only to bring back a more aggressive looking Civic. They never learn
the look outside... cannot la. the new vezel/civic design language is much better! that said, why is honda so inconsistent now...
Price of spore Honda jazz..
you can buy a bmw in USA 😂😂
Correct
Car is 150k now 😢

It’s a small car it’s a cheap car plastic looks cheap etc and then 107k$ wtf

Dont like. Ugly front! Pricey put ppl off! Gp try other cheaper KIA or other economic SUV better off! 👎 to Honda here for Jazz=Fit!
No moneys
It's actually ugly but other than that the fit is a great car handa needs a new design because this 2021 is ugly!!!!!
I wouldn't call the Jazz ugly. On the other hand it's not pretty. It's sort of... in between... pretty ugly!
turtle face car 🤔
But it's not a cheap car 🥴
innovation the ugly way…
Yeah right! $107K for a small ugly car 🤦🏽♂️👀
That model looks fail
Wat cheap Car? 😅🤣🤣 r u serius?
$107,999 !!
Looks like a beluga whale 😢
😅 this is too ugly.
It's ugly
true but don’t care about look :)
I second that it looks ugly AF. Especially the front resembles cars seen in some of the animated movies. I own a previous version Jazz and that looks much better than this new version. God knows what the design team in Honda were thinking.
It looks ugly and cheap
