2016 Honda CR-Z Release Date and Update: Leaked Photo of Refreshed CR-Z Hybrid ... - Gospel Herald

Photos of what appeared to be a refreshed Honda CR-Z has appeared online courtesy of CarNewsChina. One of the photos portrays the model's façade (see above) and shows that Honda's smallest coupe is treated with new headlights, new alloy wheels, and new spoilers. A new armrest is evident as well as a new storage box. Previous speculations pointed out that the refreshed Honda CR-Z will be based on the bigger Honda Civic compact instead of the Honda Jazz. Until a full next-generation model comes out in 2018, we can expect the vehicle to still use the current model's 1. 5-liter four-cylinder engine with 130-hp partnered with a hybrid powertrain. Models with a CVT makes 127 lb-ft of torque while manual transmission variants put out 140 lb-ft. Even though Honda is still mum about the details for this updated CR-Z, we do know that the automaker will likely unveil the 2016 Honda CR-Z during the Tokyo Motor Show later this year.
