The All New Honda CR-Z – The Hot Hatch Hybrid
Performance & Technology
The Honda CR-Z exudes both style and performance at the same time. The stylish aerodynamic design directs airflow to reduce drag and improve performance while lowering fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
3-Mode Drive System
The CR-Z is fitted with a versatile 3-Mode Drive System which allows the driver to choose one of three modes to suit different driving conditions:
- Sport mode: More powerful acceleration and tighter steering feedback.
- Normal mode: A balance between driving performance and fuel economy.
- ECON mode: Prioritises on fuel saving.
Advanced Sports Meter 
The Illuminated Advance Sports Meter Cluster is an ergonomically designed panel housing the speedometer with Ambient Meter and provides information like motor assist/battery charge, instantaneous fuel economy and remaining fuel based on current driving style.
ECON Mode
The push of a button engages the ECON mode of the CR-Z. The ECON mode makes fuel efficiency the priority and maximises the full potential of Honda’s Hybrid Technology.
1.5L i-VTEC + IMA Hybrid System + 6-Speed Manual Transmission
The 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine comes with Integrated Motor Assist (IMA), enhancing the engine for a more powerful acceleration while taking care of the fuel consumption at the same time. The 6-speed manual gearbox is considered the optimum gearbox for sporty driving. With a short shift and firm but light action it delivers flexible gear changes.
