Honda Jazz/Fit 2020–2023 car dimensions: 4044 mm long, 1694 mm wide and 1526 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,228 kg. Braked towing is 500 kg.
The cabin is roomy and airy with tall windows and Magic Seats that flip or fold for flexible layouts. Higher grades get a 9-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus automatic climate control. Honda Sensing is standard and brings adaptive cruise, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking that works for pedestrians and cyclists. Parking sensors and blind-spot warning appear on upper trims, while a reversing camera is common on mid and higher models.
Boot space measures 304 litres with seats up and expands to 1205 litres with the rear seats folded flat to the roof. The Magic Seats also tip up cinema-style for tall items, and the low flat floor with wide opening makes loading easy.
Towing is limited to 500 kg braked or unbraked on the hybrid models that dominate this generation in most markets. Payload sits around 450 kg depending on trim and equipment. The car suits light everyday loads and family use far better than heavy work or regular towing.
The cabin feels open and airy thanks to thin A-pillars and a large windscreen that let in plenty of light and give a wide view. Front seats use a body-stabilising mat frame with extra padding and lumbar support to cut fatigue on longer trips. Magic Seats in the rear flip or fold flat for tall loads or a near-flat floor. Higher grades add heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Thicker glass and more insulation cut road and wind noise. Seats are mainly manual with driver height adjust. some markets offer a power moonroof on upper trims.
e:HEV hybrid WLTP combined fuel use from 4.5 l/100 km or up to 62.8 mpg on standard models
Service every 12 months or 12,500 miles, whichever comes first
Euro NCAP five stars in 2020: 87% adult, 83% child, 80% vulnerable road user, 76% assist
Honda Sensing standard across grades: collision mitigation braking, adaptive cruise, lane keep, traffic sign recognition

In Europe the Jazz runs only as an e:HEV hybrid with a 1.5-litre petrol engine and two electric motors. Official combined figures start at 4.5 l/100 km and 102 g/km CO2 on base models. Crosstar versions sit a little higher. Real-world returns often stay near 50-60 mpg in mixed use. The small battery supports short EV-only runs in town and smooth transitions between modes. US Fit models of the same years mostly use a 1.5-litre petrol with CVT or manual and claim mid-30s mpg combined.
Routine service falls due every 12 months or 12,500 miles. Early services cover oil and filters. later ones add transmission fluid and brake fluid every few years. Coolant lasts to 10 years or 125,000 miles before the first change. No cambelt is fitted. Honda offers fixed-price plans and warranty extensions tied to dealer servicing.
Crash protection earned a full five-star Euro NCAP score in 2020 with strong adult and child results. Standard kit includes a full set of airbags (up to ten on many markets), ABS, stability control and the Honda Sensing suite with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, road-departure mitigation and adaptive cruise. Higher trims add blind-spot and cross-traffic monitors. The body uses more high-strength steel than before.
Day-to-day ownership stays simple. Tyre sizes are modest, regenerative braking helps pad life, and the Magic Seats keep the car flexible for shopping or bulky items without needing a larger vehicle. Reliability records are strong with few recalls. Keep to the service schedule and the hybrid system needs little special attention beyond normal checks.
