The terms "aggressive" and "sporty" are typically not associated with the word "hybrid," but Honda and the 2012 CR-Z beg to differ. The CR-Z offers an exhilarating combination of green innovation and daring style that transforms the now familiar gas-electric car into a "sport" hybrid. The zero-emissions vehicle was just released in 2011, but it is already clear that the Mazda RX-8, Ford Fiesta, Scion tC and Mini Cooper can't match the Honda CR-Z's quick steering and lively acceleration and handling. The sporty hybrid is an affordable small car that's not only fun to drive; it's also one of the few vehicles in America that is rated as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle. Find out why so many Honda CR-Z reviews place this performance hybrid above the competition by test driving one today at your local Phoenix Honda dealer.

The 2012 Honda CR-Z is available in two trim levels: the Honda CR-Z and CR-Z EX. A CR-Z with Navigation is also available, and adds Honda's Satellite Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition for a convenient hands-free experience. Each trim is offered in attractive colors like Storm Silver Metallic, North Shore Blue Pearl and Crystal Black Pearl.
All 2012 trim levels feature a hybrid 1.5-liter i-VTEC SOHC MPFI engine with IMA and a Permanent Magnet Electric Motor. The 2012 CR-Z has an impressive combined power output of 122 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. It comes standard with either a manual transmission or an Adaptive Automatic Transmission with CR-Z CVT and paddle shifters. The Drive-By-Wire Throttle and Control System electronically measures powertrain data and facilitates the proper response for optimum performance. The CR-Z also features a semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension and independent MacPherson strut front suspension with coil springs and shock absorbers.
The 2012 Honda CR-Z comes with a unique 3-mode drive system that allows the driver to configure the vehicle's responsiveness for Sport, Normal or Econ driving modes. Driver efficiency tools include Eco Assist with the exclusive green ECON button and Eco Scoring; the combination can help drivers find improvements to efficient driving styles while also comparing fuel economy achievements to previous trips and over the entire life of the vehicle.
Just because a sports car is a sports car, it doesn't mean that you have to forfeit amenities. The base model CR-Z features: Vehicle Stability Assist, automatic AC, remote entry, cruise control, an AM/FM/CD/USB stereo system with 6 speakers, powered window and door locks, floor mats and cup holders. Your CR-Z will be safe and comfortable with an anti-theft stereo system, Vehicle Theft Deterrent System and bucket seating. The premium 2012 CR-Z EX features all of the extras of the CR-Z but adds an ultra-powerful 360-watt audio system with seven speakers including a subwoofer, a hands-free Bluetooth system, leather wrapped steering wheel, heated side mirrors and striking metallic interior trim.
