Despite the fact that Honda just killed the Insight hybrid and even though the CR-Z hasn’t met sales expectations, Honda is keeping the CR-Z around. Honda has just announced the pricing for the 2015 CR-Z, which starts at $20,935.
Despite the fact that Honda just killed the Insight hybrid and even though the CR-Z hasn’t met sales expectations, Honda is keeping the CR-Z around. Honda has just announced the pricing for the 2015 CR-Z, which starts at $20,935.
The CR-Z is available in two versions, base and EX, which are both available with either a six-speed manual or CVT transmission. The CR-Z is powered by a 1.5L four-cylinder engine and electric motor that generate a total 130 horsepower and 140 lb-ft. of torque. One of the reasons that it hasn’t sold well is because it’s fuel economy ratings aren’t spectacular with the CVT only rated at 36 mpg city and 39 mpg highway (the non-hybrid Civic is rated at 39 mpg highway).

The CR-Z comes standard with Bluetooth, a six-speaker audio system, automatic climate control, power windows and locks, remote entry and cruise control. If you want to add more, Honda Performance Development (HPD) offers a full range of performance upgrades and accessories, including front brake, sport suspension and exhaust kits, limited-slip differential, clutch, 18-inch alloy wheels and spoilers.
