How many seats does crz have
Read more: The best and worst fuel economy our experts have ever seen. Until we get our hands on the CR-Z that decision remains unresolved. What we know is the sport hybrid hatchback will be powered by a turbocharged 1. In addition, a seven-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox will replace the current six-speed manual transmission, which to the row-your-own drivers might seem a step back but will no doubt help to temper the fuel consumption of the new turbo.
And styling for the new model is rumoured to borrow heavily from the Civic Type R, which will certainly raise the sportiness level of the CR-Z. The highways, city streets and canyon roads of Greater L.
Nimble and agile were terms that came to mind as I spirited through the canyon roads overlooking Malibu and the Pacific Ocean. Granted there was a touch of under-steer under hard braking into downhill switchbacks, and a twitch of torque steer during hard acceleration coming out of corners, but neither proved distracting enough as to be a concern.
The aforementioned driver-oriented cockpit emphasizes the two-seat nature, with the minimal switchgear all easy to reach and operate, large easy to read gauges, a sport-steering wheel loaded up with essential controls and sport seats that provide comfort when sitting in L. The bright red piping in contrast to the black seating also added to the sport charm of the interior.
Which brings us to my one major complaint about the CR-Z — those rear seats. Granted, the space back there is pretty tight, but at least put in some cushioning and a couple of seat belts to provide a little more utility to the vehicle as there is plenty of room to move the front seats forward and still be comfortable to provide rear seat legroom.
A facelift at the end of added some subtle styling updates including a new bumper and colours but you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
Inside, the centre console is angled towards the driver, and the dials light up with different colours depending on which driving mode you're in. However the plastics and switchgear are all borrowed from the Honda Insight hybrid and look and feel low-rent compared with rivals like the Volkswagen Scirocco.
The Honda CR-Z isn't practical, despite having four seats. There's plenty of room up front, but the rear seats are incredibly cramped and only really suitable for small children or dwarves.
The rear spoiler doesn't help rear visability as it cuts right across the rear screen. It obscures the view out of the back and creates big blind spots when joining a road. There's no denying that the Honda CR-Z is underpinned by some seriously complex technology but the good news is that it's unlikely to encounter many mechanical problems. However, the battery technology is the same system used in the Honda Civic Hybrid, and that's experienced no problems since its release.
Safety is equally impressive and the CR-Z scored the maximum five stars in Euro NCAP crash tests, with a 93 per cent rating for adult occupant protection. Traction control, six airbags and emergency brake assist are all fitted as standard. Skip to Content Skip to Footer. In-depth reviews Home Honda. Overall Auto Express Rating. More reviews. Since the batteries in the rear act as a Turbo to the combustion engine, they only give extra power. Taking this little car to the redline, smash down the clutch and engage the next gear, for it all to start up again is a lovely experience.
Pros: Fantastic handling. Good throttle response in Sport mode. Easy on fuel - Full tank lasts me 2 weeks, driving it everyday and not exactly going slow all the time either.
Good size boot, it is quite shallow but if you put the back seats down its rather impressive. Insurance - Also cheap because its classed as a 4 seater, even if you can only ever use 2. Cons: Power - Despite it being enough, I just wish it had a few more as standard on pre models. I average around I left out looks because that is in the eyes of the beholder.
I think its superb. I was actually out with a good friend of mine one night who also has one, we were standing in a takeaway and this man kept looking at the cars, looking at us, then the cars. Once we walked out he was asking us what the hell we were driving and was surprised to find out that it was a Honda.
I love those moments. Who do I pay to and how do I transfer the money? Is there any Import Regulations for my country? Honda CR-Z : Price. Price of a used car on tc-v. Price of a new car in Japan Price of a brand-new car in Japanese market. Honda CR-Z on sale.
