The 2014 Honda CR-Z is Coming to St. Louis

ST. LOUIS - Oct. 31, 2013 - PRLog -- When it comes to hybrid efficiency and sports car style, St. Louis area drivers know to visit Gateway Honda dealers for the CR-Z. Honda's fusion of sports car and hybrid, the CR-Z gives drivers the best of both worlds, and Honda looks to be improving it yet again for the 2014 model year—including an easily affordable price point.

While many drivers have already found much to love about Honda's unique vehicle, many more are probably curious about the price—after all, sports cars have been notoriously expensive and hybrids have only dipped in price recently—and area drivers will be excited to know that the 2014 CR-Z starts at just $19,995.

The basic CR-Z comes with a six-speed manual transmission paired to its hybrid powertrain, and earns an EPA-estimated 38 mpg on the highway and 31 mpg in the city.

To get a bit more out of that already efficient engine, readers have the option of getting the CR-Z with a continuously variable transmission—bumping up that fuel economy to 39 mpg on the highway and 36 mpg in the city.

Giving drivers more of what they want, Honda has the CR-Z EX—available with six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission—with the option to add on a navigation package.

There's more to the CR-Z than just the numbers, though. Sports cars need a sense of style that sets them apart from other vehicles on the road, and the CR-Z certainly looks poised to accomplish that. Its sleek, wedge-shaped design has an overall contour that flows aerodynamically for both performance and appearance.

     • Standard equipment on the new Honda includes:

     • Bluetooth HandsFreeLink

     • Automatic climate control

     • Built-in rearview camera

     • Ultra-modern instrument panel featuring three-dimensional gauges

Drivers interested in learning more about the CR-Z, including how to set up a test drive, have been encouraged to find a nearby Gateway Honda dealer. With many locations across the greater St. Louis area, it's easy to get behind the wheel of a brand new Honda. Area dealerships also feature the full line of Honda vehicles as well as a diverse selection of pre-owned cars, trucks, and SUVs.

Gateway Honda Dealers includes Frank Leta Honda, Bommarito Honda, Honda of Frontenac, Meyer Honda Co., Ed Napleton Honda, West County Honda, and Mungenast St. Louis Honda.
