Honda Releases New Information on the 2014 CR-Z

ST. LOUIS - Oct. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- The sales teams at Gateway Honda dealers get talking whenever anyone even hints at the idea of a new Honda vehicle, so it should come as little surprise that news of the 2014 CR-Z spread like wildfire among the St. Louis Honda dealers.

Of course, one thing at the top of the list for many drivers when they think of the CR-Z: fuel economy. This is a hybrid, after all. And the 2014 model does not look like it will disappoint, with an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of as much as 39 mpg.

After the fuel economy, though, the “sports car” aspect shines through and thoughts of power and handling come up:

     • Drivers can choose between a sporty manual transmission to match their hybrid powertrain or a new, high-tech and engaging continuously variable transmission.

    • And the hybrid powertrain? It's good for a 130-hp combined rating.

The CR-Z is a smart car, too, letting drivers choose whether they want to maximize the hybrid nature or go full-blown sports car with the choice of three driving modes: Econ, Normal, and Sport. Normal, of course, walks the line between sports car and environmentally-friendly Honda.

Not only is is efficient and powerful, but the CR-Z is beautifully sculpted to maximize aerodynamics and take advantage of the vehicle's trademark “one-motion” wedge design.

The interior is high-tech and carries a set of intuitive controls with an ultra-modern panel of instruments and gauges with a three-dimensional color design to give a many-layered appearance.

In addition to the new CR-Z, Gateway Honda dealers carry the full 2013 and 2014 lineup as they become available, including the Accord, Civic, Odyssey, and more.

For the latest in Honda news, whether it's about the brand new CR-Z or how Honda's doing at the races, readers have been asked to find a nearby Gateway Honda dealer. With locations all across the greater St. Louis metro area, it is easier than ever before to get behind the wheel of a brand new Honda.
