2011 Honda CR-Z
Before hitting US stores this summer, the 2011 Honda CR-Z Sport Hybrid Coupe made an appearance at the 2010 North American International Auto Show. Powering the hybrid is a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine with Honda's compact and lightweight Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid-electric system. This engine has a maximum power of 122 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 128 lb-ft of torque between 1,000 and 1,500 rpm. If the car comes equipped with a CVT, these figures are slightly lower with 123 lb-ft of torque.
Official figures with regards to final fuel consumption and emission data have not been released but preliminary figures are pointing to 36 city/38 highway mpg on CVT-equipped model and 31 city/37 highway mpg for a manual transmission. In standard form, the car is equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox, 16-inch aluminum wheels, dual-stage front, front-side, side and side-curtain airbags, USB capable CD/radio with six speakers, climate control, power windows and locks, and cruise control.
The car owner may also opt to equip the car with high-intensity discharge lighting, fog lamps, a premium stereo, Bluetooth, and leather-wrapped wheel and satellite navigation.
