2010 Honda CR-Z Hybrid R Concept - Rear Angle











When you first drive the CR-Z, there aren’t any obvious signs you’re stepping into a “hybrid.” It doesn’t look like a typical hybrid from the exterior—its sleek, aerodynamic shape is very appealing. The interior features stylish black and aluminum style trim accents. The instrument panel illuminates with 3-dimensional gauges giving a futuristic, multi-layered appearance.
The CR-Z is powered by a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine with Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist. Honda wanted to provide a personal driving experience, that’s why we’ve included a 6-speed manual as the standard transmission. Even the available CVT version comes with paddle shifters for an added level of control.
To customize your driving experience, the CR-Z features an innovative 3- mode drive system (Sport/Normal/Econ). In “Sport” mode, the car’s systems are enhanced for performance, meaning the steering is more responsive, and the engine becomes more energetic. In “Econ” mode, the car’s systems are optimized for enhanced fuel efficiency. The electric motor assist gives priority to the air-conditioning system, helping reduce its overall load on the engine. “Normal” mode is a great compromise between the two, giving you a balanced level of performance and fuel economy.
