In the countries where a non hybrid Jazz is available, the digital instrument cluster includes a bar display rev counter at the top of the display and the battery charge gauge is replaced by a water coolant gauge.
I guess on the hybrid model, with the ICE only operating part time, a rev counter is deemed less useful, particularly during the times when the ICE is acting as a generator and the revs may be more constant. Possibly, as the engine temperature is less likely to remain at a consistent regular running level due to part time ICE operation, the coolant temp gauge is replaced with a two stage warning light indicator, to alert if coolant temp is too high.
On the non hybrid models, the blanked out switch near the gear selector is fitted with a start/stop system deactivation switch.
In some markets there is also a heated screen switch in the panel which includes the parking sensor switch. I think this may just heat the windscreen in the wiper park position area, as is the case on some Kia vehicles.
I wondered why the dash lighting illumination switch was over large, then saw that, in some countries, the lower half of the circular switch features a ‘TRIP’ button. Assuming this resets the trip counter or accesses the trip counter mode, rather than accessing the trip counter using the menu system. Perhaps these models have a less compressive range of trip counter features, so a simple reset button is all that’s required, same as the trip reset buttons that feature on many analogue instrument clusters.
Would be nice to have the rear seat centre armrest that some countries receive, particularly as the rear accommodation is generous for a small car. Some of the UK specs show this as a standard feature but I haven’t seen any UK models with it.
Strangely, the cars that have rear centre armrest often seem to have a tray between the front seats, rather than a front centre armrest/cubby box, which I’d have thought was more useful.
