2012 Honda CR-Z Overview

2012 Honda CR-Z is proof that efficient design does not have to come at the expense of beauty. Relive the two-seat heritage in a sports car with a design steeped in tradition with an eye towards the future.

The CR-Z is engineered to be fun yet functional, with an expansive cargo area right under the hatch.
With 16" alloy wheels pushed out toward the corners, the CR-Z broadcasts its handling prowess and makes a bold and stylish statement.

The CR-Z is powered by a 16-valve, 1.5-liter ... (read more) i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine with Integrated Motor Assist IMA®. This combination delivers the thrill of a sports car with the impressive fuel economy of a hybrid [1].

IMA Power
The battery pack, positioned low in CR-Z's body structure for optimal center of gravity, supplies juice to the Integrated Motor Assist system, giving the CR-Z abundant low-rpm torque for quick off-the-line acceleration. This is an attribute unique to electric motors and something the CR-Z would not benefit from with just the conventional engine.

The CR-Z sports a 6-speed manual transmission—the first production hybrid vehicle of its kinds. The transmission allows sports car lovers to get an environment-conscious ride without losing an ounce of power or agility. Those who choose the CVT automatic transmission, however, can enjoy racing-inspired paddle shifters that also provide driving exhilaration and engagement.

The CR-Z’s excellent handling comes from its low center of gravity and wide treat. These qualities, along with specially tuned independent front and torsion-beam rear suspension, provide an exhilarating combination of agility, stability, and ride quality.

To help keep you on course and away from danger, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) helps sense over-steer or under-steer, and then adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver control. Standard 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), help you maintain control during hard braking. Properly inflated tires are crucial for safe operation, so the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver when a tire's pressure reaches a significantly low level.

The CR-Z has been engineered to help protect you and your passengers when a frontal collision just cannot be avoided. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute frontal crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. Airbags standard front, front-side and side curtain airbags help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision. Honda's Safety Philosophy Honda is committed to providing safety for everyone—that means crash protection not only for our own drivers and passengers, but also for the occupants of other vehicles, and injury mitigation for pedestrians. We are dedicated to identifying and implementing advanced designs and features that help enhance the safety of vehicles on the road. Learn more.
