Honda CR-Z 2009-10


Stylish hybrid coupe will arrive in North America in 2010 as 2-seat model

Honda debuted the much-anticipated CR-Z Concept 2009, the second concept version of the stylish, sporty

hybrid coupe, at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show. While the vehicle displayed at the show is a global concept with

a rear seat, the production version that will be introduced to North America in the second half of 2010 will

be packaged as a sporty, 2-seat hybrid that provides a personal driving experience for North American

customers.

“The Honda CR-Z will expand our lineup of hybrid vehicles and reinforce the fun-to-drive values associated

with the Honda brand,”

said Erik Berkman, vice president of Automobile Corporate Planning and Logistics for American Honda Motor

Co., Inc.

“Beyond great styling and features, CR-Z will bring new levels of engagement and fun to customers interested

a small car or a hybrid vehicle.”

CR-Z will join the Insight and Civic Hybrid in the Honda hybrid lineup, each offering distinct benefits.

Civic Hybrid, launched in 2003, was Honda’s first mainstream model to feature hybrid power. The 2010 Insight,

introduced in March 2009, ushered in a new era of affordability for a hybrid family sedan. The CR-Z will

break new ground as a sporty, hybrid coupe with unique value.
