Whether a Family Car or a Sporty Auto…. You’ll Never Go Wrong with a Honda

October 10, 2010 – Twin Cities Honda Dealer’s Association – Minneapolis, MN - The 2011 Honda CR-Z Hybrid has arrived and it is extraordinary. As the world’s first 6-speed manual transmission, it's no surprise that this zippy automobile is impressive. Available in the showroom at Twin Cities Honda Dealer’s Association Group in Minneapolis, the CR-Z is Honda’s smallest car. However, good things come in small packages, as the CR-Z is proving to be a fun, sporty and efficient car that clearly demonstrates that efficiency does not have to come at the expense of size or beauty. Offering something exciting and sporty, the CR-Z's 6-speed gearbox is as efficient as it is entertaining.

Summed up as stylish, aerodynamic and classy, the new Honda CR-Z Hybrid offers a great ride complete with a 3-mode system. Tailoring its performance to each individual’s preference, CR-Z drivers simply push a button and choose to drive in sport, normal or econ mode. Driving in “sport” mode enhances multiple vehicle systems for performance including engine throttle responsiveness, electric power steering and electric motor power assist. Driving in "normal" mode provides standard settings for steering, engine response, motor assist and air conditioning.

Driving in "econ" mode, the auto is designed for optimum fuel economy, and fuel efficiency, while the air conditioning system in “econ” reduces the overall load on the engine.

The most impressive aspect of the CR-Z is its ride quality. With standard 16-inch wheels and relatively tall sidewalls coupled with electricity boosted steering, the transition from regenerative to conventional braking is seamless. At the heart of the Honda CR-Z Hybrid, the first 6-speed productivity hybrid, seen at Twin Cities Honda Dealer’s Association, Minneapolis is its quick acceleration and stylish two-seat layout coupled with good fuel economy, making it an excellent choice. The CR-Z checks in with an EPA estimated 31 miles to the gallon in the city and 37-highway mpg.

Equipped with the quick-shifting six-speed transmission, output from the 1.5-liter engine and electric motor is the 122 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. When driving around town, it’s obvious that the advanced IMA hybrid technology of the CR-Z is spry and agile, all because of the automobile’s quick steering, relatively light 2,635-pound curb weight and its small size. With a respectable amount of leg and headroom, the standard height adjustable driver seat and tilt-telescoping steering wheels are supportive for long drives. Add to that the easy to reach, compact, automatic climate control layout of the steering wheel, an audio head unit or integrated navigation system as well as a rear cargo divider, and the CR-Z commands its share of attention. The CR-Z is one of the reasons Honda remains one the most popular automobiles on the road.
