Choose your Driving Style......
The unique 3-Mode Drive system of the CR-Z means you can choose whether you wish to boost your enjoyment or economy on each trip out – or get the perfect mix of both. By switching to SPORT, ECON or NORM, the CR-Z will automatically alter the responses of the throttle, steering, idle stop time and climate control, and the level of support from its IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) system.
Top Features
Sporty meets Hybrid...... - The CR-Z is the first in the world to combine a precise, driver-focussed 6-speed manual gearbox with a low emission, parallel hybrid system – made possible by the flexibility of Honda’s IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) system. The 1.5 litre, 4 cylinder i-VTEC engine is also new to the UK, and works with the electric motor to provide a total power output of 124PS and 174Nm of torque.
Designed for your enjoyment- The exciting, sporty looks of the CR-Z are born from a "one-motion wedge" concept, with a low bonnet line and wide stance. These looks are complemented by features such as the split level rear glass hatch and deep, muscular sculpting. And the CR-Z is designed for greater economy and cleanliness too, with the shallow raked roofline and sharply truncated tail allowing it to cut through the air with minimal disturbance.
One of a kind- Another first for Honda that you’ll find on the European CR-Z are daytime running lights – eight LEDs that bring out the lower line of the sweeping headlights. Combined with the front fog lights, they provide a neatly tailored look. The wheelbase, track width and set-up have all been designed specially for the CR-Z, creating a responsive chassis that provides the agile handling you need both in town and out on the open road.
What the critics say.......
"The CR-Z’s hybrid system was never anything less than superb. The electric and petrol units worked together seamlessly and intuitively to deliver decent dollops of low-rev torque and high-rev punch."

"The CR-Z looks stunning inside and out, it’s fun to drive, and every version is well equipped."
(WhatCar.co.uk, 2011)
"The results are impressive. The 1.5-litre petrol engine delivers 112bhp and 107lb ft and the electric motor adds 13.8bhp and 58lb ft. The four-valve engine gives more oomph than Honda's standard two-valve eco engine"
