The Honda CR-Z truly marches to the beat of its own drum. While power from its 122 horsepower engine isn’t overwhelming, this “sports hybrid” does providing a thrilling driving experience combined with impressive MPG.
Under the hood of this sleek, short compact is a 1.5-liter gasoline engine along with an electric motor. This system doesn’t allow the CR-Z to run on electric power alone like some other hybrid models, but the electric motor assists the engine and helps the CR-Z achieve an impressive 35 miles per gallon in the city and 39 miles per gallon on the highway.
The CR-Z is the only hybrid vehicle available with a six-speed manual gearbox, adding to the sportiness quotient. For those that don’t want to shift their own gears, a CVT automatic transmission is also available.
Priced from $19,345, the Honda CR-Z is one of the most affordable hybrid vehicles available. Richards Honda has a great selection of hybrid cars in Baton Rouge, Louisiana!
