To be honest, when I first saw hybrid sports car Honda CR-Z, you'll wonder. Moreover, the hybrid emblem located on the tail car. How well did the performance of the car with a hybrid badge?

Technology Honda CR-Z hybrid is very different from the others thanks to the use of hybrid technology Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). Hybrid helps performance petrol engine to be more powerful again.

Lucky detikOto had a chance to test the performance of the CR-Z Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with route Jakarta to Bandung, last weekend through Cipularang highway.

Within 2 days of opportunity to test the CR-Z is not wasted by detikOto.

Design Honda CR-Z Hybrid
The face of the Honda CR-Z looks pretty sporty. Starting from the design of grille, front bumper, fog lamp, mirror, headlight, bumper honeycomb, star rim sizes up to 17 inches alloy. Aerodynamic body design as well.

But sometimes, the front rather make overlook. Some of the media call this car front design similar to a European hatchback car. In fact, practically mimicking. What is yes?

Regardless, the engineer must have a reason why Honda designed way.

Switch to stern. Well, the back of the car is pretty sporty, customize the front view.

Some of the LEDs on the back adds style cars from Japan. But there was a bit odd, is not visible from the exhaust spout behind and covered rear bumper.

Placement of the exhaust is quite intriguing. But apparently his position somewhat tucked away, and if you want to see must be membongkokkan body.

Originally detikOto assume CR-Z hybrid exhaust is next. Ehh

Interior Features Honda CR-Z Hybrid
Entry into the passenger cabin and seat semi bucket.

Seat design is artificially low as the other sportscar. No electrical settings on both the car seat.

Everything is set manually. But the design is very ergonomic chairs.

The new seats are likely to be very fun when the car is asked to weave.

You are the owner of 168 cm height pretty comfortable when in the passenger seat. Head is not too close to the roof, while the point of view out so far.

detikOto can monitor the front, and side very easily.

While his height 178 cm detikOto there is no obstacle to move in the car. He still felt comfortable with the form of the Honda CR-Z interior. "It's good anyway, baseball narrow," he said.

Rear cabin can accommodate two passengers only children. And it did not have the heart to feel like putting the kids in the back seat. Because very small back room. Foam feels a bit harsh.

"Reasonable bro, sports cars. Rarely used roads the same family," quipped a friend.

Switch to the audio features. Features one is relatively mediocre. Nah no advantages, such as using a standard CPD player, radio, Bluetooth, AUX-in, integrated MP3 with 6 speakers and woofer.

Behind the wheel tilt & telescopic steering available. This feature can make the steering wheel up and down and back and forth. Very serves to make the rider feel comfortable when driving.


Engines Honda CR-Z Hybrid
It's time to test the machine. No engine start-stop button. How to turn the engine CR-Z is still conventional. Plug it in and turn the key.

Honda CR-Z uses a gasoline engine 1,500 cc 4-cylinder SOHC i-VTEC engine with an electric motor IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) and Lithium-ion batteries.

As mentioned earlier detikOto combination of conventional engine with an electric motor is very different.

The electric motor can not drive the front wheels work without the help of a gasoline engine. The electric motor is powered 20 hp gasoline engine only help the movement.

The electric motor does not work alone. If both work together then the power output to 140 hp.

So during a trip detikOto tried Sport mode. Noticeably differences between modes Econ, Normal and Sport.

When the sport mode button, RPM went up. The 1,500 cc engine immediately respond and act fairly. While the Econ mode, the machine is very slow and does not respond quickly.

Opportunity to test the hybrid car feels so incoming toll Cipularang.

Felt satisfied with the available Sport S + mode on the steering wheel. Mode S + is a powerful bullet that engine more responsive. Once the button is pressed, the steering feels a bit heavy automatic car ready lauched sign.

How to use S + mode, simply press the button and lift the gas pedal. With a count of 3 seconds, immediately hit the gas pedal.

There obtained thrust power from the gasoline engine and electric motor. Each stamping on the gas pedal, the engine feels very impulse.

Meanwhile, the condition of speeding, was once the engine roar into the passenger cabin as carry race cars, noisy. To know the feature works when the car is above 30 km / h.

Do not stop there, the hybrid CR-Z is available paddle shift feature. Through this technology, detikOto the master field.
