Honda Jazz named one of the best low emission green cars by AutoExpress

Electric cars are obviously the cleanest cars that you can currently buy, but not everybody is ready to make the switch. The expert road-testing team at AutoExpress has rounded up the best low emission green cars right here, with the Honda Jazz being named a top pick.

There’s only one way to completely cut out your exhaust emissions, and that is to buy an electric car. Thanks to some huge developments in battery technology and charging infrastructure, these cars are now well within the reach of more motorists than ever before. There are some big savings to be had, too, in areas including company car tax and low-emission zones.

Why the Honda Jazz stands out
Prices from £27,000
WLTP fuel consumption: 62.8mpg
CO2 emissions: 102g/km

Unlike many other superminis, the Honda Jazz feels like it was designed with sensibility at the top of its agenda, rather than fun. It’s unlikely to deliver hours of driving thrills, but don’t cross it off your shopping list just yet, because the Jazz does still boast some serious party pieces where it counts.

Honda’s unique e:HEV setup utilises a 1.5-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol engine and two electric motors to produce 120bhp. Again, this figure isn’t about to set the world alight, but what this powertrain does do is return over 60mpg with minimal fuss. The Jazz is big for a supermini, too, and it’s easily one of the most practical cars in this sector. If you need to carry large objects, Honda’s Magic Seats allow the Jazz to even put some SUVs to shame.
