2016 Honda CR-Z

First of all, the Honda CR-Z is available in three distinct trims and for three different prices:

• The base-line 2016 Honda CR-Z LX trim enters the market at $20,295*
• The mid-level 2016 Honda CR-Z EX starts at $22,140*
• The top-level 2016 Honda CR-Z EX-L Navi trim is priced at $24,440*

Usually, different trims of a new vehicle will offer different levels of power. Not so with the new Honda CR-Z, which gives drivers the same amount of power no matter the trim level: each CR-Z trims is powered by the same forceful In-Line 4-Cylinder 16-Valve SOHC i-VTEX engine, which generates 130 hp as well as 140 lb-ft of torque when combined with 6MT, and 127 lb-ft of torque when coupled to a CVT system. At the same time, though, this drivetrain promises awesome efficiency as well. For example, when outfitted with an Eco Assist System, the CR-Z gets an astonishing 39 mpg on the highway and 36 mpg in the city**, while it also has earned a CARB Emissions Rating of LEV3-SULEV30.

Along with great power, the CR-Z also gives drivers a huge range of choice when it comes to personalization.

At the same time, the CR-Z offers ample interior space, with seating for five as well as 25.1 cubic feet of cargo room.
