After the Civic Hybrid and insight are already mentioned, Honda offers a hybrid, this time called the Honda CR-Z. Using the hybrid engine combined with elements of sports cars, coupes Honda claims the CR-Z sports hybrid and began shipping in Japan in February. However, the CR-Z is the result of a combination of the Honda REMIX Honda Small Hybrid Sports concept of two cars that had set forth.

CR-Z was first introduced as a prototype at the Tokyo Auto Show event in 2007. This release also stated in the case of the North American International Auto Show in 2008, while the revised version of events has led the Tokyo Motor Show in 2009. Overall, not many changes that have taken place between the two versions of what the production version.

Physically, the CR-Z This has similarities with the CR-X and see the name used, can be a CR-Z is a continuation of the CR-X. But in reality, the real CR-Z is an enhanced version of the Honda Insight was released as a hybrid car. Honda itself has never given a confirmation of this and prefer to call what the CR-Z is zero for Compact Renaissance.

Overall, the Honda CR-Z concept is really sporty and compact. On the side, conceived as the supreme institution in the back with two lines scratched with a strong emphasis on the right and left doors. Therefore, even at rest, the CR-Z is giving the impression as if it was speed. Grid is designed as a broad smile Mazda.

In the kitchen track, Honda put a combined capacity SOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder combustion chamber 1.500cc Integrated Motor Assist. This combination is capable of generating 122 horse power about 6,000 rpm with a torque of 128 lb-ft. in the range of up 1.500rpm 1.000rpm. With the combination of this engine is also the CR-Z is capable of reaching the point of efficiency of 36-38 miles per gallon.

Remove the standard version is equipped with six speakers, AM / FM / CD and USB sound system, keyless entry and cruise control, while the version in it (the CR-Z EX) Additional Honda nailing the Bluetooth link and a 360-watt subwoofer and satellite navigation system linked to voice recognition is only given as an option. Issues of safety features six airbags and antilock brakes fruit clearly means mandatory.

Toyota choice for this car is unique, as one small. The concept is simple, Toyota iQ is marketed for those who want a car with a frugal consumer, labor is not very big but it can meet the daily needs, and of course to be the center of attention.

Toyota iQ was introduced into the show at the Geneva Motor Show 2008 in Japan last year, while marketing its own new beginning to the end of this year. Production Toyota iQ is based on the concept vehicles on display at the Auto Show in Frankfurt in 2007. In the U.S., this car will be marketed under the name Scion iQ and 2010 will be launched later this year.

It is the philosophy behind the name iQ. Toyota says the letter “i” represents the character of individuality, innovation and intelligence, while the letter “Q” is the abbreviation of the word quality. These things are true, because any angle, the Toyota iQ is fully considering each word, innovation, ingenuity and quality, Toyota is exactly as described.

The concept is essentially a city car has great handling, fuel efficient, environmentally friendly and the interior is truly impressive. This problem seems to be very depending on how you look at the concept of space. Although the dimensions of this car is not very big but we must recognize that the design makes this car a lot larger than it appears.

Toyota iQ total length of about 2.985mm 1.680mm breadth. From these data is visible only if there is the Toyota iQ small car. Overall, this car will think there are only two persons including the driver, but in reality the car was still more rows of seats in the rear. Calling a car for four people was inaccurate, given that the operation of passenger lines back as an adult, you need to change the positions of the front passenger seat forward, while behind the driver’s seat can be occupied one child.

There are two engine variants are offered by Toyota iQ is the engine capacity and capacity of the engine combustion chamber 1.000cc 1.330cc the combustion chamber. 1.000cc engine capable of generating 50 kilowatts of power to the engine with a torque of 91Nm at 6,000 rpm the engine when the engine is able to provide 4.800rpm 1.330cc energy equal to 72kW with 123Nm of torque. It is not too great, but if you remember this car is destined for consumption in the city for what seemed to be enough.

Based on data specified by the manufacturer, the Toyota iQ is capable of a 150 kmh speed when using engines and 170 kmh 1.000cc for 1.330cc machine. The time required to reach a speed of 100 km / h is pretty good, from 14.7 seconds to 13.4 seconds. The same data also show that the iQ will consume only 4.3 liters of fuel per one hundred kilometers mileage while using the machine 1.330cc consume up to 4.8 liters for the same fuel mileage.
