The New Honda CR-Z is Here!

IT HAS ARRIVED!


Yes, we had a transport truck pull on the lot yesterday with three of the all-new Honda CR-Z compact cars on the back--all of them for us. This exciting hybrid, two seat, zippy, little car is a throwback from the Honda CR-X, but is clearly refined and energetic.

GREAT PRICE POINT!

BASE 6 SPD MANUAL MSRP = $19,950

BASE CVT MSRP = $20,600

EX 6 SPD MANUAL MSRP = $22,160

EX CVT MSRP = $22,160

EX 6 SPD MANUAL W/NAV MSRP = $23,310

EX CVT W/NAV MSRP = $23,960


This vehicle is loosely based on the small Honda Fit compact platform. It is slightly shorter, several inches lower, but wider than the Fit. In looks, it has a more wider characteristic, and a slightly aggressive sports car design to the front end.


Powering the Honda's CR-Z is a 1.5 - Liter engine mated with a small electric motor. The gasoline-electric hybrid uses Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) technology that switches between the electric motor and gas engine for optimum fuel economy. It comes with the option of a 6-speed manual transmission or a Continually Various Transmission (CVT).


In America, this vehicle only comes as a two-seater, with cargo trays in the back where the jump seats would normally be. The back folds flat and there is a cargo shade that draws across that hides cargo from peering eyes through the back hatch. The model we show here comes with cloth floor mats.


This vehicle looks the part inside and out. The stylish interior has that urban metallic feel to it, and the lines on the exterior are clear-cut, edgy, and muscular.



Honda's mission in designing this vehicle was to make a small, energetic vehicle that is fun-to-drive while providing economical, clean technology that comes with all the comfort features and conveniences we have come to know and expect.


The instrument panel has a bright look to it. The steering wheel is similar to other Honda Models but the center tachometer gauge is more prominent and the blue illuminated panels with the digital speedometer with engine info graphics, warning lights and data are appealing to the eye.

This vehicle is geared towards those who don't have passengers to haul in their vehicle. Someone who wants a sporty two-seater, without having to hassle or wrangle with a soft top, or the commuter who wants something fun do drive back and forth to work.


You really need to come drive this car to experience how fun it really is!
