2014 Honda Jazz Hybrid The country of the rising sun renew one of its biggest selling-Honda Fit-in September, but around here we know as Jazz. The picture shows a prototype but it will be quite similar. We know that the hybrid version will be talking, announces an impressive 36.4 miles per gallon (JC08 test cycle).
