I thought that the Honda CR-Z was going to be just a hybrid model and this confirms it.
The upcoming Honda CR-Z will be fitted with nothing other than a hybrid powertrain, emphasizing the company’s resolve for the CR-Z to remain a beacon of green technology. The CR-Z is a compact sports coupe reminiscent of the CR-X of the 1990s.
It is expected to be launched with a 1.5 i-VTEC petrol unit with 120bhp, mated to a 14bhp electric motor. Honda said that the CR-Z won’t be getting a sister model that will be equipped with a conventional combustion engine. This is a grand gesture from Honda since the CR-Z is intended to rival the Mini Cooper and VW Scirocco. Despite reports to the contrary, the CR-Z is meant to only be a hybrid. In fact the car is designed all around a hybrid powertrain. The car has a shortened Insight platform, with combined Jazz and Civic parts, and is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox
