The hybrid vehicles are the new craze in the global car industry, with increasing consumers leaning on these greatly efficient greener cars. Hybrid vehicles are also the need of the time, as they are easy on the environment. What makes them more alluring is the fact that when it comes to refueling, they are easy on the pocket too. Moreover, the hybrids offer great ride and driving comfort with a more silent and refined cabin. However, the one point that most of the hybrids of the day are not good in is styling. Usually these great vehicles sport a not so stunning style that the modern car buyers are after. All the innovation of the hybrid cars’ seem to be under their hoods and not meant to be for the eyes.
However, Honda decided to go against this trend. The Japanese car maker known for its swanky styling knows that it is just the dawn for the hybrids and not styling them properly will be a foolhardy. Thus, with the 2014 Honda CR-Z, the company makes a new statement on what a modern hybrid should look and feel like.
When one looks at the new Honda CR-Z, one can’t think of it as anything other than a swanky fossil fuel sipping conventional car. That’s because it has a sleek and neat hatchback body. The 2014 Honda CR-Z looks distinctly sharp, charming and bold in the face and is hard to be taken as a complete hybrid car. The company has adopted a sports car inspired front fascia styling for this hybrid to make it look greatly stunning. Bold molded side panels as well as a unique rear design complete the alluring design of the CR-Z. This has made it look like a performance oriented conventional car rather than an eco-friendly hybrid vehicle.
However, Honda hasn’t just concentrated on the pretty looks of the CR-Z but has also made it perform superbly. With an added emphasis on the driving dynamics of the car, Honda has made a sporty and more efficient hybrid vehicle. Thus, it offers more adrenalin pumping rides for the enthusiastic drivers. The CR-Z’s powertrain has a gas engine and an electric motor that offers the car an unparallel hybrid performance.
The CR-Z’s powertrain produces a vigorous 130HP of power and 140 PF of torque mated with a 6 speed manual transmission that is controlled by the Japanese car maker’s ingenious great responsive steering system. Apart from the quick responsive steering system, Honda has also incorporated a stiffer suspension into the CR-Z to offer an excellent overall driving experience that the vehicles in its class don’t usually ffer.
Most importantly, though the 2014 Honda CR-Z is made to look and feel like a superior stylish and performance oriented conventional car, it remains a truly fuel efficient hybrid vehicle. It offers a stunning mileage of over 35mpg on the highways.
Thus, the new 2014 Honda CR-Z is the hybrid vehicle of the new age that offers everything good.
