Honda’s award-winning CRV sports car has gained some extra performance and a refreshed look for 2013.
And for the new model, Honda has simplified the hybrid CRZ model range – now one variant, starting from $38,490 and driving through either a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT automatic.
With a new Plus Sport (S+) button for extra grunt, the 1.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid is up to 100kW/190Nm (91kW/174Nm for the previous model). And the IMA hybrid system has switched to a lithium ion battery.
Styling changes see a new front bumper and grille, blue-tinted rear LED lights, a new diffuser and new two-tone 17-inch alloy wheels. And there are two new paint colours (“Northern Lights Violet’ and ‘Polished Metal’.
Inside are new LED lights and white contrast stitching.
