Honda CR-Z Hybrid
Honda CR-Z Hybrid – Honda’s new hybrid sports car, the CR-Z, has just made its European debut at the Geneva motor show and UK pricing has been announced. British buyers will be stumping up £16,999 for the CR-Z S entry-level model.
This works out to about $28,000 in local currency, but will that be the level at which the CR-Z goes on the market Down Under?
Not likely… For example, the $39,990 Honda Civic Type-R cost around $35,000 (£20,768) to British car buyers. Depending on the level of specification the Australian CR-Z Hybrid is packaged with (and comparing the UK pricing of Type-R and CR-Z) we’d suggest local CR-Z prices should start at around $32-34,000.
Thanks to its 1.5-litre petrol engine hooked up to an electric motor and six-speed manual, the Honda CR-Z has a combined city-highway fuel economy figure of just 5.0L/100km. Taking advantage of a parallel hybrid-drive system, the CR-Z coughs out just 117g/km of CO2 from the petrol engine — a very low figure. When combining the output from both petrol and electric motors, peak power and torque is rated at 91kW/174Nm (the electric motor contributing 10kW/78Nm).
