The S+ button inside of the upgraded CR-Z

If you like the appears of the Honda CR-Z, but not its overall performance, weve obtained some ( most likely ) superior news for you: Honda is hinting at a revised CR-Z, set to debut on September 27, the opening of the Paris Auto Present. Whilst there arent several details unveiled on the Honda Japan web site ( via Motor Authority), it looks like the sports activities hybrid will get revised headlights with LED accents, new wheels and an S+ button inside the cabin.

Ended up guessing that S+ stands for Sport Plus, which ( with any luck, ) signifies a lot more electrical power from the more than -taxed one. 5 -liter 4 -cylinder motor. In its current state, the CR-Z delivers a put together output of just 126 horsepower and a hundred sixty five pound ft of torque with the handbook transmission, and thats not much to move a 2, seven-hundred pound car or truck. The CR-Z was Hondas try to produce a divertissement vehicle without having guilt, but instead it designed a sporty coupe without having grunt.

Rumors of hotter CR-Zs have popped up due to the fact the vehicle was introduced, but almost nothing has transpired in production form. To make the automobile faster, first you need to defeat the deficit of the extra hybrid bodyweight (motor, batteries and controller), and then theres the situation of the one. five -liter motor to contend with. If you question us, Honda would do nicely to launch a gasoline-only model, run by the 2.-liter 4 -cylinder from the preceding technology Civic Si. In simple fact, wed be fantastic if Honda called it an CR-Z Si and made available it only with a six - pace handbook gearbox.

It wouldnt established sales documents, but we wager it would go a prolonged way in the direction of upping Hondas inventory in the eyes of driving enthusiasts.
