Overview
Cars like the 2011 Honda CR Z hybrid Hatchback might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The CR Z hybrid uses its 1.5L Inline 4 engine and a 0.6 kWh battery to produce 122 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. This gives the CR Z hybrid a 0-60 of 9.8 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 2011 CR Z hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 34 MPG. As part of the compact hatchback, the CR Z hybrid lacks any hybrid rivals, but you can consider the Toyota Prius Hybrid Hatchback and the Kia Optima Hybrid Sedan. It offers 3 trims, starting off at MSRP $19,345.
