The Honda CR-Z, one of the most anticipated hybrid releases, was announced to have a price of less than $20,000 when it hits the markets in late August. The Honda CR-Z features the latest technology and safety features to keep drivers and passengers safe during a collision. Honda vehicles can be serviced at a Sarasota Collision center. There are still a few months left before the price of the new hybrid Chevy Volt comes out, a major competitor to the Honda CR-Z. The Volt can be test driven at an Indiana Chevrolet dealer.
The Honda CR-Z is the first mainstream manual 6-speed vehicle that will be available on the market. The lowest price for the model starts at $19,950 and goes up to $23,960 for a CTV transmission version with a navigation system. The CR-Z is a two seater and it is a much sportier model than most of the recent hybrid releases. The car features three modes for driving: normal, sport, and eco.
The Honda CR-Z is equipped with a 1.5-liter iVTEC four cylinder engine that is capable of 122 horsepower total. The fuel efficiency of the CR-Z is 37 miles per gallon with the CTV transmission and 34 miles per gallon with the manual transmission. This is efficiency is on the lower end compared to other hybrid models such as the Toyota Prius which gets 50 miles per gallon.
The most unique features about the CR-Z are its sporty look and its price. With a price tag of $20,000 to start, it is one of the most competitively priced hybrid models on the market. The 2010 Prius is similarly priced at $22,000 but every small price reduction helps in the increasingly competitive hybrid vehicle market.
For individuals who do not have families and won't mind the lack of backseats, who want to save a little money on fuel costs, contribute to a better environment, and look cool while doing it, the Honda CR-Z is a good choice.
