The all-new 2011 Honda CR-Z sport hybrid coupe made its U.S.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

 2010 Honda CR-Z Production debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit today. The CR-Z introduces sleek styling and sporty handling to the hybrid segment.

"The CR-Z is a personal sport hybrid coupe for people with a spirit of adventure and an elevated sense of responsibility toward the environment," said John Mendel, executive vice president of Sales. "It's the first hybrid designed to maximize style and fun, in addition to efficiency and economy."

Set to go on sale late summer in the U.S., the CR-Z is powered by a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine with Honda's compact and lightweight Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid-electric system. The two-passenger CR-Z introduces a new three-mode drive system that allows the driver to select between Sport, Econ (Economy) and Normal driving modes.

The exterior's distinctive "one-motion" wedge form originates from its low-slung hood to form a broad forward stance. A side profile with a deeply inset beltline conveys a dynamic tension, while the short wheelbase and large, wide front grille accents the vehicle's athletic presence.

Three-Mode Drive System

The CR-Z's three-mode drive system allows the driver to select between individual modes of performance for Sport, Normal and Economy driving styles. The system is activated via three backlit buttons to the left of the steering wheel.

The Sport mode enhances multiple vehicle systems for performance including the engine throttle responsiveness, electric power steering effort and the electric motor power assist. The inner ring of the tachometer illuminates red when the vehicle is in Sport mode.

During Econ mode operation, the engine's responsiveness is tuned for optimal economy, the electric motor assist gives priority to fuel efficiency and the air conditioning system can reduce its overall load on the engine. The inner ring of the tachometer transitions between blue and green when the vehicle is in Econ mode, with the green representing more ecological driving.

Normal mode provides standard settings for steering, engine response, motor assist and air conditioning. Similar to Econ mode, the tachometer ring transitions between blue and green when the vehicle is in normal mode, with the green representing more ecological driving. Like the Honda Insight, the CR-Z offers an Eco Guide and Eco scoring feature to help drivers track progress of efficient driving styles.

In addition to being environmentally responsible, the CR-Z demonstrates a commitment to safety in its design and construction. The Advanced Compatibility EngineeringTM (ACETM) body structure helps protect vehicle occupants in a frontal collision. Additional safety technologies include standard dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags; standard front-side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); side-curtain airbags, active head restraints; an anti-lock braking system; a tire pressure monitoring system; and a pedestrian injury mitigation design in the front of the vehicle.

An Insight For Others To Raise Their Safety Standards!

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

2010 Honda Insight EX The top honors from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has gone to the 2010 Honda Insight EX! This All new hybrid from Honda has been bestowed with the TOP SAFETY PICK award for the year 2009!

Plaza Honda, as the leading Honda dealer from Brooklyn, New York raises a toast to this wonderful hybrid, the 2010 Honda Insight for winning this badge of honor.

The annual award from the IIHS recognizes vehicles that do the best job while protecting vehicle occupants during frontal, side, and rear crashes based on ratings in certain tests. The IIHS is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to reducing the losses - deaths, injuries, and property damage - from crashes on the nation's highways. The institute revises its tests to keep up with real-world road conditions, and has also made electronic stability control (ESC) a requirement for any vehicle considered for the Top Safety Pick.

IIHS crash testing includes frontal offset crash tests, side-impact tests and rear collision tests that evaluate seat/head restraints, and new low-impact bumper tests. The IIHS ranks vehicles "Good," "Acceptable," "Marginal" or "Poor."

The Honda Insight Hybrid which has surpassed the tough IIHS tests to be chosen as the Top Safety Pick, is also the least expensive hybrids available in the US today!
