The new CR-Z is a real head turner. With its sloping front end, and straight back end, the car is reminiscent to Honda's old CRX.

The front end is not only designed for aerodynamics but also is built to absorb energy in the event of an accident involving a pedestrian.

Its small size makes it as easy to park as a sub-compact. And with it being a hybrid, you are not wasting time trying to find parking spot.

Equipped with Xenon High Intensity Discharge - HID - projector-style low-beam headlights, and standard fog lights, the CR-Z is as confident at night as it is in the daytime.

The CR-Z comes equipped with attention-grabbing LED point light for the brake lights. LED's use less power compared to regular light bulbs, and the design adds a distinctive style to the rear of the car.

The CR-Z is powered by a 1.5 Litre, 122 HP four cylinder gas-electric Hybrid with a 10 kilowatt Integrated Motor Assist Technology with a combined gas mileage of 5.3L/100km for the CVT - Continuously Variable Transmission - equipped version

A 360-watt AM/FM/CD high-power audio system with seven sepakers including subwoofer is the standard system in the CR-Z. You're also able to plug in your MP3 player and use it rather than the radio or CD player.

A six speed manual transmission is standard on the CR-Z, making it the first production hybrid to offer the standard transmission. For an extra 800 dollars, you can get the automatic CVT with steering wheel paddle shifters.

The rear hatch gives you the versatility of a hatchback, but the styling of a Coupe.

Equipped with a pull-out removable cargo cover, you're able to hide the items in the trunk from prying eyes, and remove the cover when you need to load in larger items

The divider between the seats and the trunk folds down, giving you an extra 2 feet of space to load in golf clubs or that one large item you needed to pick up at the local parts store.
