Scheduled for presentation at this year's Tokyo Hall, the new Jazz will feature the i-MMD hybrid system (the same used by the CR-V Hybrid). It is not yet known which combustion engine this will be associated with, but most likely it will not be the 2.0 l used by the SUV, and should adopt a smaller engine.
