When shoppers compare the Honda CR-Z to other makes
like the Honda Fit, Kia Forte, Ford Fiesta and Mazda2 , the
2011 Honda CR-Z shines as the most fun-to-drive. Starting with the 2011
Honda CR-Z, owners found this affordable SUV's crisp handling and lively
acceleration to be reason enough to choose.
The CR-Z continues Honda's tradition of producing sporty 2-seater cars. The CR-Z has roots with the Honda CRX and the Honda Del Sol. The combination of the sports car and the gas-electric car, however, did not successfully appear until 2007. The CR-Z was introduced as a concept car at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, and did not show up in the United States until 2008 at the North American International Auto Show. In 2010, Honda began production and sales of the CR-Z in North America. The CR-Z featured a 1.5 liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine with Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). The 6-speed manual hybrid delivered a very respectable 122 horsepower, and gave the CR-Z its pep and speed off of the starting line. The new line of 2011 CR-Z cars continues an innovative trend by Honda to create economical, environmentally friendly sports hybrid cars.
