2013 Honda CR-Z

The European-spec 2013 Honda CR-Z will benefit from a more powerful engine and electric motor without a negative impact on emissions or fuel economy, Honda confirmed today. In advance of its Paris Motor Show debut, the 2013 Honda CR-Z has been teased with the image shown here. While some of the European CR-Z's visual and powertrain changes may not appear on the U.S.-market model, we already know the 2013 Honda CR-Z headed for our showrooms will receive "interior and exterior styling changes" and get a standard backup camera. When it goes on sale this fall, we'd be surprised if it doesn't offer the LED daytime running lights shown in the Paris teaser here. 2013 Honda CR Z Rear Three Quarters The European-spec 2013 Honda CR-Z appears to sport a revised front fascia we may get in the U.S., along with a grille that no longer includes three horizontal trim bars.

The yen-U.S. dollar exchange rate may prevent our market from ever seeing a CR-Z Si, though we wouldn't mind minor changes to the car's power or efficiency. In a six-car comparison of inexpensive sporty front-drive cars, the Honda CR-Z placed second. "...The little hybrid attacked the corners with gusto. Even the hybrid drivetrain had defenders, as it delivered both exceptionally smooth power and best-in-test fuel economy," we wrote in the comparison. "Despite a surprising amount of zip from the electrically enhanced motor, we want more power from this car."
