Another first for Honda that you’ll find on the European CR-Z are daytime running lights – eight LEDs that bring out the lower line of the sweeping headlights. Combined with the front fog lights, they provide a neatly tailored look.

The wheelbase, track width and set-up have all been designed specially for the CR-Z, creating a responsive chassis that provides the agile handling you need both in town and out on the open road.

The CR-Z also features forged aluminium MacPherson struts for low weight and great strength.
