New car sales price Honda CR-Z

Styling of the Honda CR-Z is distinctive with a sloping rear glass roof and chopped off tail that are reminiscent of the old Honda CR-X and the original Honda Insight. The latter being the first every production hybrid to go on sale in Australia.

1 / 9

Honda's hybrid sports coupe CR-Z now has a new look and increased performance.

2 / 9

It's now available in one variant, with a choice of CVT or six-speed manual transmission.

3 / 9

The CR-Z's drivetrain has been enhanced to deliver power of 100kW (up by 9kW) and torque of 190Nm (manual transmission), while the IMA system now features a lithium-ion battery.

4 / 9

The sporty hybrid's dart shaped styling is accentuated by a new front bumper and grille design and rear LED lights that have a blue accent. The 2013 CR-Z also receives a redesigned diffuser and 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels as standard.

5 / 9

The horizontal split panel arrangement of the rear windscreen doesn’t do a lot for vision. Drivers who don’t adjust their door mirrors correctly could get themselves into strife.

6 / 9

Standard safety features include front, side and curtain airbags, ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist, stability and traction control.

7 / 9

On the crash avoidance front there are daytime running lights, LED taillights and rain sensing windscreen wipers.

8 / 9

Power for the Honda CR-Z comes from the combination of 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine and Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) electric system.

9 / 9

It's now available in one variant, with a choice of CVT or six-speed manual transmission with a starting price of $38,490.

A handy device in the corners, the Honda CR-Z now has a bit more go to go with the sharp dynamics thanks to a Plus Sport (S+) button which gives the vehicle more engine and electric motor assist power.

The Plus Sport function can be used while in ECON, Normal or Sport mode. The CR-Z's drivetrain has been enhanced to deliver power of 100kW (up by 9kW) and torque of 190Nm (manual transmission), while the IMA system now features a lithium-ion battery.

Inside new LED lights and white interior stitching add to the CR-Z's sporty feel. Two new exterior colours have been added to the palette.
