| 28-11-2011 at 08:00: All-New Sporty CR-Z Hits Australia | |
|
The CR-Z features the world’s first 6-speed manual transmission combined with a hybrid drivetrain, and has a sporty aerodynamic form so it is not only good fuel but easy on the eyes. The CR-Z suggests the iconic style of the 1980’s CR-X and combines agile, responsive handling with excellent fuel efficiency. The CR-Z pairs a 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine and Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system, delivering a combined power figure of 91kW with 174Nm of torque for the manual transmission and 167 Nm for the CVT. Offering a unique 3-Mode Drive System, the CR-Z can be adjusted to the needs of individual drivers and/or what performance needed at the time of driving. NORMAL mode suited to most driving experiences. A SPORT mode sharpens the throttle response and changes the parameters of the IMA system to provide more electric motor assistance and secure, solid steering. ECON mode prioritises fuel economy in the operation of the drive-by-wire throttle, ECU, air conditioning and the hybrid system. The Eco Assist function, in conjunction with ECON or NORMAL mode, enables the driver to monitor their fuel efficiency on each journey. The stylish interior layout has the flexibility to extend usability, with rear seats designed to fold easily and quickly to increase cargo space. The cabin has been ergonomically designed around a cockpit theme, clustering critical controls close to the driver, and the instrument panel has an eye-catching and hi-tech 3D gauge design. Achieving a five-star ANCAP safety rating, the CR-Z offers an array of standard safety features, including six airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control and brake assist, active head-restraints, ABS, EBD and LED Daytime Running Lights which is a first for Honda. Other safety features include Honda G-Con technology with an Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body that provides higher levels of protection to vehicle occupants while minimising impact to the other vehicle in a collision. Pricing for the all-new CR-Z will start at $34,990* for the Sport Manual, $37,290* for the Sport with CVT and $40,790* for the Luxury CVT. * Flat Paint Only |
The highly anticipated and all new Honda CR-Z has hit Australian shores and offers some well thought out standard features.
