The CR-Z is the third hybrid vehicle that Honda introduces to Malaysians, after the Honda Civic Hybrid and Honda Insight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Honda CR-Z Malaysia\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fastmotoring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Pic-4A_The-All-New-CR-Z-630x420.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Malaysia is the first country in Southeast Asia to introduce this hot hatch hybrid. Quite simply, I believe many boy racer and amateur car enthusiasts have waited long for such car with 6-speed manual gear stick and a price tag of slightly above RM100k mark. Thus, it is doubtless that Honda Malaysia will be able to achieve the sales of 100-units by end of 2011. <strong>The 2012 Honda CR-Z Hybrid 1.5-litre is selling at RM 115,000.00 on-the-road with insurance in Peninsular Malaysia<\/strong>. Does it sound tempting?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After the Honda Civic Type R discontinued from the production, the Honda CR-Z is gradually positioning to be the substitution. Although the CR-Z is not comparable with the Type R in terms of performance, but it is definitely greener and more fuel efficient. One more in common, the CR-Z comes only in one colour \u2013 Premium White Pearl.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to Honda officially, CR-Z stands for \u201cCompact Renaissance Zero\u201d, which represents Honda\u2019s commitment to go back to the basics to take on the challenge to create a new compact car without being bound by the values of a traditional hybrid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Technically, the CR-Z is designed to deliver exceptional fuel economy while offering an entertaining and engaging driving experience. It combines an efficient 84-kilowatt (114PS) 1.5L SOHC i-VTEC engine, a 10-kilowatt (14PS) electric motor and a sophisticated Intelligent Power Unit (IPU).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the All-New CR-Z is the first model to feature Honda\u2019s versatile 3-Mode Drive System, which enables the driver to choose and switch modes seamlessly depending on their driving style and road situation. The three modes in the CR-Z alters the responses of the throttle, steering, idle stop timing, climate control and the level of assistance provided by the IMA Hybrid System.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In safety aspect, the All-New CR-Z has been rated one of Japan\u2019s safest cars in 2010, having been awarded the 6-Star JNCAP rating. The CR-Z is equipped with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) which offers a more stable and sturdier drive while the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure enhances self-protection. The CR-Z also complies with Pedestrian Impact Requirements where head and chest injuries to the pedestrian are minimised during an accident.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Malaysia, the warranty structure for the Honda CR-Z\u2019s is similar to the hot-selling Insight\u2019s. It comes with 3-years warranty (or 100,000 km), 5-years warranty for IMA battery, 2-year warranty for standard battery. On top of that, it also comes standard with 6-month free service (or 10,000km).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the CR-Z was awarded the 2010\/2011 Car of the Year (COTY) in Japan as well as the 2010 Top Gear Green Car of the Year in the UK. <strong>Once we got the Honda CR-Z in our hands, do expect more photos and follow by a review.
