Car of the Year Awards 2025 - Best Small Car for Practicality

Following a succession of awards, including the 'Which Awards 2024: Best Buy - Small Cars', the Honda Jazz has now been awarded 'Best Small Car for Practicality' by the What Car? Car of the Year Awards 2025.

“The Honda Jazz is the small car to beat for passenger space, and its unique and incredibly flexible rear seats only add to its practicality.”

“Tall plants, bags of topsoil and compost… the bulky items we might buy at the garden centre can be tricky to get home, especially if you drive a small car. One model in this class, though, will swallow that assortment of garden goodies without batting a metaphorical eyelid: the Honda Jazz.”

The Jazz is Bloomin' Marvellous!

“You see, as well as offering an elevated seating position (for easy access and great visibility) and more passenger space than its rivals, the Jazz has highly versatile rear seats. The seat bases can be flipped up to create a large, floor-to-ceiling space; you could stand those tall plants (or a bicycle) in there easily, upright, and still have lots of space for more in its large, square boot.”

“The Jazz comes up roses in terms of running costs, too. Being a hybrid, it’s very economical. Okay, it isn’t as frugal as the similarly powered (but less spacious) Toyota Yaris, but fuel bills will be lower than for most other rivals.”

“The Jazz sheds value very slowly, but that’s just as well, because it costs a lot more than the Clio. For those who appreciate its big-car attributes in a smaller package, though, the Jazz is bloomin’ marvellous.”
