Honda Hybrid CRZ For RM62,000 !!



The car in the picture is the Honda CRZ Hybrid. A friend bought one recently and I was able to see it up close. Its a wonderful piece of engineering.  It is Honda's 1.5 Litre semi-electric approach to hybrid technology. The CR-Z gives 35 mpg city/39 mpg highway and 37 mpg combined. 




The CR-Z has what is called the  Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). It’s a thin, pancake-type electric motor/generator “integrated” between the engine and transmission. Like other hybrid vehicles, the CR-Z shuts off the engine when the car comes to a stop, and then fires up again when it’s time to go.
