If you're looking to combine the great looks of a sports car with the fuel efficiency of a hybrid, look no further: Honda has you covered. With the auto industry focusing heavily on fuel efficiency and green driving, Honda has found a happy medium that will offer drivers a sports car that benefits from a hybrid engine without sacrificing too much power. It's all happening under the CR-Z brand, one of the mainstays of the Honda lineup and a great selling low-end sports car. The new CR-Z Hybrid does well in the way of styling, with grooves and contours that will have Fairfield Honda service professionals cooing in their oil. It's just another reason why the Honda brand is getting so much attention from the auto media and why sales have been pretty solid throughout the fallout from the recession. With the launch of the new hybrid CR-Z, Honda's sales can only continue to get better in the race for the highest rated brand in the industry. Your Waterbury Honda service center can't wait to get its hands on the new CR-Z to tool around and work on what's inside. So what else is great about the new CR-Z?
Honda service, Fairfield located, professionals are excited about what's under the hood of the CR-Z. According to a recent article in New Jersey Newsroom, "Under that sloping hood is a two-part power system: the gasoline engine, and the electric motor. The primary power comes from a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder gas engine producing just 122 horsepower, followed by an electric motor feeding off a 100-volt, nickel-metal hydride battery pack. The combination is mated to a six-speed manual transmission that, in typical Honda fashion, is quick and responsive. The car is not as fast as it looks, however, and the handling is, well, ordinary. This is not, however, a full hybrid in that you can't drive on just the electric motor. Rather, the motor serves as an augmenting system for the gasoline engine, shutting it off when you are idling or stopped. That boosts fuel efficiency to an EPA estimated 37 mpg. That is still good fuel mileage, and places the CR-Z fifth among all cars behind the 50-mile per gallon Toyota Prius, 42 MPG Honda Civic Hybrid, 41 MPG Honda Insight, and the 39 MPG Ford Fusion." When you visit your Honda service center, make sure to ask about the new CR-Z.
With so many unknowns in the auto industry, engineers that are prone to innovation are the ones who are going to achieve victory for their auto brands. Fairfield Honda service professionals know that Honda has some of the best engineers on the planet, and they expect great things from the brand over the next couple of years. When you visit your Honda service center, Waterbury located, make sure to ask about the innovations that the company has in the works. They'll be able to give you a little more insight on what the future of driving will look like. And check out what Honda has to offer this year.
