Overview
Cars like the 2013 Honda CR-Z Hatchback might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The CR Z uses its 1.5L inline-4 engine and a 10kWh electric motor to produce 130 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. This gives the CR-Z a 0-60 of 9.2 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2013 Honda CR-Z achieves a combined fuel economy of 37 MPG. As part of the compact hatchback, the CR-Z competes directly no car while you could consider larger, more expensive, indirect rivals such as the Toyota Prius Hybrid, the Ford C-Max Hybrid, and the Honda Insight Hybrid. It offers 2 trims, starting off at MSRP $19,975.
