CR-Z 3-mode drive CVT

[Jeremyevo90]

whats the rpm when cruising at 100km/h ??!! Is there different rpm between 6MT ??

[minumanair]

do the gear shift with the paddle are good?compares with lancer cvt?

[PL3690]

Auto CR-Z = sporty Prius

Manual CR-Z= sporty hybrid

[belizetj]

Like every other comment on this video is "What is Auto Stop?".

Easiest way to explain it is, In ECON Mode. When u come to a stop (traffic light, stop sign, etc.) and put the car in neutral (OR with the CVT transmission: at a stop with your foot on the brake) the car shuts the engine off and it runs on batteries to save fuel. When u put the car in gear (OR with the CVT Transmission: take ur foot off the brake) the engine restarts itself.

[Josegarcia2281]

What does the cr stand for? I know the zero part jus can't remember the cr

[belizetj]

@Josegarcia2281 Compact Renaissance Zero.

[BloodshotDan121]

[boobie284]

Finally found a posted CVT, Thanks lol my dad told me about CVTs a while back as a kid, but still wondering how it computes now adays,... did it stick at an rpm and accelerate or did it keep going up as it varied the ratio...? Thanks :D

[Aphasia17]

I didn't know the dash was green like that, do you have color variations to choose from?

[Xenophene01]

fuck thats slow. still i like

[DatBoiBeanz]

Im SOLD!!! 

[AndoCommando3]

Whats with the lagging spedo?

[292675]

@AndoCommando3 Research "CVT" transmissions.

[belizetj]

@AndoCommando3 All new digidash Hondas do that. Even my 08 Si.

[Solumic]

Sick car.

[FlashIeme]

love this =)

[manslaughter2323]

whats up with the auto stop

[belizetj]

@manslaughter2323 Shuts the motor off and runs on batteries.

[Suberabus]

Edward sharp and the magnetic zero's are the best band ever

[ZwirzPL]

Damn. Great autko. It plans to buy these, but in the version of the manul gearbox.

What is the fuel consumption in ECO Mode?

[mthalali]

I would love to own this car.

[isitbutsecks]

But Wheres The V-tec?

[virokill132]

what is auto stop?

[cleverhobbit]

@virokill132 the gas engine shuts down completely when you stop. The electric engine's still on and starts the car when you push the gas pedal.

[shammi13]

@virokill132 it applys the handbrake when the car comes to a stop, so you can take your foot of the brake pedal (its an auto). then just press the accelerator to move off. got the same system on my dads 7 series bmw!

[andredc16]

@virokill132 The engine stops for fuel economy, when you hit the gas it starts immediately. It´s great ;)

[LimaGTV6]

@virokill132 is when the engine stop automatically when u are in a red light or waiting for something or someone, when u are not running, to save gas..or in this case battery

[2LonelyPlanet]

@virokill132 when you stop your car at stop sign, or stop in the middle of the road, while the engine is still on, it saves gasoline, like the hybrid

[ggtontoyono]

@virokill132 when the speed is going to be 'zero' the gasoline engine shuts down for not consuming gasoline

[PL3690]

@virokill132 the shut down of the engine below 20km/h and braking and in stops generally

[TheKristopher11]

@virokill132 when stopping at, say a redlight, the engine will actually cut off when the brake is pressed to make it more fuel efficient.. Though being a CR-Z owner myself, it does not always engage when pressed.

[belizetj]

@virokill132 Turns the motor off when it comes to a stop, and uses the battery.

[1255283a]

@virokill132 my guess it stops your engine instead of idling

[ClickThisNow1]

Bet you cant click here! :P

[TehVikingsOwn]

@chitaka2000 wht happens if ur at full stop with auto stop on and u give it the full beans? thinking of trying out this car.

[highlanderhybrid]

It's slow than the full hybrid Ford Fusion Hybrid... And the Fusion hybrid can propel itself to 47 without a gas engine at all.

[mamella76]

dios donde esta la esencia Type r??

[JDMEXforme]

This car has no place in any market!! Do research!!

Sad and the S2000 is gone! Honda should have just put in the RSX-S K20a in and call it a day!

[AntiRellik]

wtf, auto stop? I loved that! lol

[ScRoTe1992]

VVTTTAAAKKKKK lol

[poltaotata]

I LOVE THIS CAR

[pongdadong]

I don't like the fact that the rpm range tops out at 6500, maybe with a Hondata flash they will fix this issue

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

did that car just go from 0-60 in 1 gear?

[MastrCake]

Just drove one today. I ran it in sport mode, and I thought it was great. It was zippy; not fast, not slow. It's built for corners, and it does them well. During my limited test drive, I drove on detroit-like pavement, part of a curvy highway, and congested city streets. It doesn't feel harsh, noisy, slow, or numb. Steering is super direct in sport mode, throttle responds great, low road noise for a Honda, super efficient, and the ride was actually pretty decent. You need to drive it to love it.

[DblJ033]

your the worst driver ever.... xb

[johnsleyer123]

Best car

[Boltfiger]

what is the "automatic stop" for?

[KatiushaVN4]

paddle shifters??

[PurohitAbu]

are there paddle shifters in the CRZ???

[AltroLog]

I fancy this car in a tech geek way.

[mexman40]

Was that an automatic version???

[chitaka2000]

@mexman40 yep, it was actually "CVT". That's why the rev kept going up without any shift changes.

[BerGaMont925]

@chitaka2000

the automatic will not come to europe :(

[chitaka2000]

@BerGaMont925 Didn't know that. wow... I wonder how that will effect on sales. But MT transmission of CR-Z is really good. At least I'm sure MT lovers will be satisfied.

[spoonta]

@chitaka2000 don't complain too much :p

it won't come to australia at all -_-

[nleines]

CVT suck ass, automatics take all the fun out of driving.

[virokill132]

@nleines they have their ups and downs

[PapuhLeanDocka]

@BerGaMont925 better to have a cuountry driving stick than auto...if the owner of the stick car is injured and you have to drive them to the hospital and you cant drive stick...than that person might die lol

[basgetz]

@BerGaMont925

damm honda, please release the cvt in europe!

[llynellyn]

@basgetz What this guy said

[andredc16]

@BerGaMont925 Thank God for that :D

[nosxpress]

@BerGaMont925 nor come to Malaysia :(

[Solumic]

@chitaka2000 Whats the advantages to CVT?

[Madmoedevy]

10,1 KM per Liter is pretty much!!? What is maximum in Eco mode????

[RanmaSaotome12]

Wow nice, doesnt even sound like a hybrid.

[msepsis]

wow.. nice. thank you for posting this. I can't wait to buy mine here in the states to replace my first gen insight!!!!

[CrisAntonioMorelos]

will there be a sir or si model? coming soon?

[chitaka2000]

@CrisAntonioMorelos Don't know. So far there are 2 models in Japan. One is cheap with minimum equipment, and the other one has stuff like navigation system and H.I.D. 90% of people buy the upper model. Hope there'll be SiR or TypeR someday.

[msepsis]

@chitaka2000

peek around on honda's web site.. I seem to recall confirmation that an R-Type was in the plans.

From what I've heard from the NYC show the us model trim levels will match that which was offered from the 2nd Gen US Insight at introduction.. additionally the price of the lowest trim is also supposedly coming for less than $20,000.

[chitaka2000]

@msepsis As far as I know, Honda has never mentioned specifically about CR-Z Type R yet. But they've said they will consider a "more sporty version" if they could find a market. I strongly wish for a Type R, but just like the case of S2000, something like Type S is possible too.

[CrisAntonioMorelos]

how is the handling?

[chitaka2000]

@CrisAntonioMorelos It was really good. And another good thing about CR-Z is that the seat height is as low as S2000. It's only a 1.5L engine, but I could truly feel the spirit of "sport" in it.
