A hybrid designed for the city
The 2015 Honda CR-Z proves that a hybrid can have impressive fuel economy and look good doing it. If you're shopping for a two-seater hatchback with sleek styling that's sure to turn heads, you've found it. The CR-Z's small footprint will make getting around the city a breeze, and its hybrid engine will take you as far away from downtown as you want. And with plenty of technologies to keep you connected, you'll easily disconnect from it all in the CR-Z.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Honda CR-Z
1. A hybrid with personality
While the 2015 Honda CR-Z will catch your eye, it's what's under the hood that really counts. The CR-Z's 1.5L four-cylinder engine works with an electric motor to create 130 horsepower. When paired with its six-speed manual transmission, the CR-Z gets an EPA-estimated 33 mpg combined, and the automatic transmission bumps the EPA-estimate to 36 mpg combined.
2. Designed for the city
You can just as easily take the CR-Z on an errand run or a night out on the town. You'll find the CR-Z performs perfectly when it's zipping through city streets, squeezing into tight parallel parking spots, and dodging traffic jams. The two-seater will ensure you and your closest companion have a thrill getting to your weeknight destination and enough cargo space to get out of the city once the weekend comes.
3. Style in spades
With its short hatchback, elongated hood, and clean lines, the CR-Z stands out among the hybrid crowd. The car's standard 16-inch alloy wheels compliment the CR-Z's low profile, and you can add to the car's unique styling by adding xenon headlights and two-tone black and red upholstery with the EX trim. The CR-Z reminds you it's okay to show off just a little.
4. Drive it like you mean it
Sometimes, you just want optimum control over your car's power and handling. The CR-Z is glad to hand over the reins. You can select three distinct modes -- Normal, Econ, or Sport -- to change steering effort, gas pedal sensitivity, and transmission management to fit your needs. Tap the S+ button on the steering wheel and get a temporary acceleration boost in any mode, thanks to the onboard battery.
5. Road-ready tech features
You'll get a rearview camera, Bluetooth® connectivity, and a USB connection in every CR-Z. All of this tech makes it easy to pump your favorite tunes through the six-speaker system or choose the EX trim to dial up the bass with a subwoofer. Some EX models also have an available 6.5-inch touchscreen with navigation to optimize your tech features even further.
