MANILA, AUGUST 7, 2013- Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. presented their new model, CR-Z Sport Hybrid Coupe recently at the NBC Tent in Taguig City.
The models were developed with the concept of “More Hybrid Sports”. The All New CR-Z was created to fuse two ideas: Sport and Ecology. CR-Z stands for “Compact Renaissance Zero”, which represents Honda’s commitment to take on the challenge to create a new compact car.
The All New CR-Z uses a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine as the main source of power with an electric motor, Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist or IMA. The combination allows drivers to have a responsive driving experience. To balance fun and eco factors, the system applies combined control over the engine’s Drive by Wire control, motor assist, CVT shift control, and air conditioner.
Honda enthusiasts can choose from six colors: White Pearl, Crystal Black, Polished Metal, Milano Red, and exclusive colors for the CR-Z the Turquoise Blue and Cosmo Flash Violet. The new model will come in with Manual transmission and Continuously Variable transmission (CVT with paddle shifters) options and will be available in three variants. HCPI will also offer the All New CR-Z Modulo1 variant (with Modulo aero kit) and the CR-Z MUGEN2 variant that has exhaust system and alloy wheels.
“With two transmissions, three variants, and six colors or a total of 36 combinations to choose from, we are positive that the All New CR-Z will bring a more personal Honda spirit of mobility. Along with other Honda models available, the All New CR-Z is bound to make every journey enjoyable and fun for both driver and passenger,” said Tatsuya Natsume, Honda Philippines’ president & general manager.
