1. THE HONDA CR-Z
used-cars

2. When looking at the specifications of the Honda CR-Z, it
appears to be expensive, relatively slow, quite cramped,
and wears a ‘hybrid’ badge that nobody linked to
‘sportiness’ until supercars started using the same
technology – well after the CR-Z was on sale.
When driving the CR-Z, however, this 2-door petrol-electric
coupe completely leaves its specification sheet
behind to become one of the most delightful new cars
available at any price.
Face-lifted for the first time since its local launch in 2011,
the 2013 Honda CR-Z is now available as a six-speed
manual or automatic CVT (continuously variable
transmission).
In manual specification the 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol
engine and electric motor combo produce 100kW of
power at 6600rpm, and 190Nm of torque between 1000-
2000rpm – up 9kW and 16Nm, respectively.
The no-cost automatic continuously variable transmission
(CVT) makes 99kW and 172Nm.

3. The face-lifted CR-Z now packs lighter lithium-ion batteries and a new S+ ‘overboost’
mode to improve performance, but claimed consumption increases to 5L/100km (auto)
and 5.3L/100km (manual).
It’s best not to think of the electric motor as a fuel-saving device in the CR-Z but rather a
substitute for a small turbocharger.
Except the electric motor is better than any small turbo-charger because it has
absolutely no impact on consumption, and responds faster than any turbo – check the
peak torque from 1000rpm.
Because the electric motor teams with a Honda engine and manual gearbox, the
drivetrain is an absolute gem.
While it remains a sporty hybrid coupe, the addition of CVT to the CR-Z has in fact
improved its environmental credentials with average fuel economy dropping to just 4.9-
litres per 100 km on the combined average. Performance values endure however, the 0-
100 km/h sprint being completed in 9.9 seconds with a top speed of 198 km/h.

4. The new Honda CR-Z CVT features the same high level
of specification as the existing manual model, which
includes luxuries like a panoramic glass roof, LED daytime
running lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic
climate control and Bluetooth, as well as safety equipment
like ABS, EBD, EBA, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist),
ISOFIX child seat anchors and six airbags. Changes to
specification include the introduction of a new paint colour
– Premium Gold Purple Pearl, which replaces the existing
Premium Northern Lights Violet Pearl.
