After being previewed at their year-end media thanksgiving party, Honda Cars Philippines has announced the official availability of the 2016 CR-Z Sports Hybrid. The best-selling hybrid in the country, the 2016 CR-Z now features a simplified line-up with only one model variant and two transmission choices available.

The 2016 CR-Z Hybrid Navi (as the 2016 is now officially called) retails for P 1,440,000 for the 6-speed manual model and P 1,530,000 for the CVT model with paddle shifters. Selected models: Helios Yellow, Milano Red, and Premium White Pearl are also available in a special two-tone finish with black painted roof, door mirrors, and spoiler. This commands a premium of P 30,000.


Carrying over the same 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist or IMA technology, the 2016 CR-Z features a widened rear track as well as Active Noise Control and/or Active Sound Control depending on which mode is selected on the Three-Mode Drive System.

Outside, the 2016 model is differentiated by its new 8-point polygon grille, blade-like diffuser, projector-type HID headlights, LED daytime running lights, and newly designed 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, it gets a black and orange combination interior with a 7-inch Touch Screen Display Audio with built-in navigation. A new push-button start/stop system and Electric Parking Brake (EPB) complete the changes.

The 2016 CR-Z Sports Hybrid Navi is now available at all Honda dealerships nationwide.
