The Honda CR-Z is a 4-seater sports hybrid that was in production from 2010 to 2017. It’s a coupe style, 3-door hatchback that was built to appeal to a young and mobile clientele. It’s not a popular car in Kenya due to its limitations in carrying capacity that makes it unappealing to family people and businessmen alike.

The Honda CR-Z lasted for a single generation and was discontinued in 2017. It shares many components with the Honda Insight and it’s referred to as a Honda Green Machine due to its low carbon footprint.

On the Inside, the CR-Z is modern with a well laid out dashboard that comes with crystal LCD displays and dials that are easily accessible to the driver. The rear seats are lightly padded which makes them uncomfortable for long distance travel. The legroom is decent at the first row but tight at the second row.

The Honda CRZ comes with a 1.5-Litre engine that is coupled to an MF6 electric motor  linked to either a CVT transmission or a 6-Speed manual transmission.
