Geneva Motor Show: The Honda CR-Z Hybrid Coupe goes commercial

Honda CR-Z Hybrid Coupe

The Toyota Prius Hybrid for some, is a bit too staid, or a better euphemism for that would be, Toyota-ish. While a nice scorching alternate exists in Tesla Roadster, the high asking price is a major deterrent.

Honda knows this and hence, we have a nice little sports coupe that manages to look cool too, the Honda CR-Z Sports Hybrid.

The Honda CR-Z Hybrid, which was unwrapped at this year’s Geneva Motor Show will hit British Honda showrooms sometime in June, 2010.

While the CR-Z is no scorcher like the Tesla Roadster, a nice total of 123 horses plus the 174Nm of torque from its 1.5-litre engine and electric motor should endow the CR-Z Coupe with plenty of poke for it’s role as a point-and-shoot city slicker.

The Honda CR-Z Hybrid Coupe’s UK prices begin at GBP 16,999 which translates to about INR 11.64 Lakh.

India launch anyone? Your guess is as good as ours.
