siamdivers Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 If any one out there has real world figures on the Jazz I would love to here it, but maybe it's too early yet. I don't think they've been out long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignis Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Still don't fully understand these new things......... but is looking and reading looks to me that Mazda has a better engine with SkyActiv technology, the new 3 not yet here, says 30 km/l, even the new CX 5 also not yet here the 2 lt says 17.5 km/l........ This new engine from VW for the Golf bluemotion looks to even better that... guess will never come here as far to expensive.. many website say the same.... thanks to a host of fuel saving equipment from Mazda that it calls SkyActiv technology. The stop-start system stops and restarts the engine when at a standstill, and a clever braking system that sends lost energy to power the car's electrical systems like air-conditioning.

keemapoot Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Never looked before, but 21.3 KPL city and highway combined looks rather poor ? The new 1.2 engine in cars that cost a lot lot less to buy do this or better..!! The Jazz Diesel [not here] claim to do 25 to 26 KPL... Not long ago Honda claimed the Civic Hybrid did 21.26 kilometers per liter, if this was so makes the Jazz Hybrid look poor. Any figure claimed by the dealer will be rather optimistic....20 km/l for ecocars is only achievable in real world highway driving. The real figure would be somewhere from 13-16 km/l in mixed driving. I would expect the hybrids to be less than 21 km/l, if their estimations are based one the same formula used for other cars. Would need to wait to hear some real world figures from drivers of hybrids. They might well be more efficient than the small ecocars, but I haven't seen the numbers to prove it. Some interesting results for the Civic hybrid coming out of the U.S.: Honda Civic HybridEPA: 44 mpg combined Real world: 43-44 mpg Honda's highest-mileage hybrid on paper isn't quite as good in the real world as the cheaper Insight, but most drivers are still matching the official 44 mpg combined rating. That means you can either appreciate the Civic Hybrid for what it is--a usefully economical sedan--or save a few thousand and buy an Insight instead..

Non hybrids do well in highway driving, but not nearly as well in stop and go traffic, which is where a hybird shines. So if most of your driving is highway, then the eco-cars are indeed a better value. If most is city driving, then a hybrid might be the better choice.
