New Honda CRZ Fuel Efficiency Car

New Honda CRZ 2011

This past January, Honda CEO Takeo Fukui revealed that a production hybrid based on the Honda CRZ Concept shown in Tokyo last year is going to be a reality. It currently looks as if the Honda CRZ will first be released in Europe, with a guesstimated US release date of sometime in 2011.

The original CRX was a lightweight, and small, hatchback that managed to be a fun car, with a small efficient engine.The Honda CRZ coupe should also be small, fun and efficient, with the addition of Honda’s updated Integrated Motor Assist hybrid, to push the fuel efficiency to the next level.

 

 

Design of Honda crz

The design team for the 2011 Honda CRZ Hybrid is based in Europe, where the majority of sales are expected. The Honda CRZ Hybrid is expected to be an anchor for Honda’s European line. Specifically, Honda’s UK branch is handling design, while engineering and testing are taking place at Offenbach in Germany.
The hybrid system in the Honda CRZ will be the same one used in the Fit Hybrid, to be released the end of 2009. That includes nickel based batteries, and a lack of plug-in adaptability.
The CR-Z itself is a replacement for the popular CRX which was pulled off the market recently. The concept car for the CR-Z has a similar profile to the CRX, as well as a glass rear. The new design also includes an oversized grill, aggressive wedge shape, and centrally mounted dual exhausts. The LED headlights are a nice touch, as are the electric side mirrors.

 

 

 

Interior of honda crz

For the interior, Honda tried to combine modern high-tech with classic sporty design. The result includes an interesting mesh material on all fabric surfaces, and a lot of LED displays. The whole effect is both futuristic and funky. Unfortunately, I have to wonder if all the fun inside will be a distraction from the road.
Honda has tagged the Honda CRZ (by the way, that stands for ‘Compact Renaissance – Zero) as “a next-generation lightweight sports car equipped with a Honda petrol-electric hybrid system.”

Unfortunately for those of us in the US, Honda’s focus on Europe has left us guessing – guessing when we’ll see the 2011 Honda CRZ Hybrid, guessing what it’s going to cost when it does arrive (Honda is talking around 25,000 euros for the lucky stiffs across the pond), guessing when we are finally going to get the information we are waiting for. Hopefully, Honda won’t leave us guessing much longer.This the information about Honda crz.
