How is the CR-Z different from other hybrids? It’s sportier! Its exterior design harkens back to the second-generation of the now defunct CRX (1988-1991). There’s only one version available, but it’s equipped to the nines and comes with your choice of a manual gearbox or CVT. Although it only seats two, this vehicle offers plenty of storage space behind the seats. Best of all, it allows you to be “green” while driving a fun and technologically advanced car!
