'Acceleration is far better than the Jazz'
Fact:
Dutch: VERGELIJK HONDA JAZZ - RENAULT CLIO - English: COMPARE HONDA JAZZ - RENAULT CLIOAcceleration 0-100 km/h (62 mph):
Clio Hybrid 145 Esprit Alpine: 9,3 seconds Jazz 1.5 Hybrid Advance Sport: 9,4 secondsSource:

Indeed.... quite a difference, no less than one tenth of a second! Far better...
And I really prefer that 'mooing' of the Jazz under hard acceleration to the hesitating, complicated gearbox of the Clio.
Try taking a roundabout, without the Clio hesitating which of the 14 possible gears to choose... one of my reasons for abandoning the Clio Hybrid (140 Initiale Paris) after a test drive two and a half years ago.
Economy is maybe good, but according to Spritmonitor
https://www.spritmonitor.de/en/ not quite as good as the Jazz.
On the other hand: both the exterior and interior look very good, it really is a beautiful car. But we are still very satisfied with our Jazz (apart from that non-height adjustable passenger seat...
) and it will stay with us for some time. Will the successor be a Jazz again...? No idea. We'll think about that in a few years, maybe we'll look at an EV?
