The 2015 Honda CR-Z is a member of the vehicle’s first generation, a hybrid hatchback pairing a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a combined 130 horsepower. Buyers have a choice between a six-speed manual transmission, making this the only hybrid model with that option, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Although it comes in only two trims — LX and EX — both feature a futuristic digital dashboard with an energy flow monitor, auto climate control, 6-speaker audio, and the unique green 'Econ' mode button for optimal efficiency. Bluetooth and keyless entry are also standard, while the EX trim offers LaneWatch blind-spot monitoring among other advanced features. The CR-Z has not earned top safety marks, but reviewers praise its sporty handling and handsome cabin.
