Overview
Looking for a sporty-looking hybrid that offers something different from a conventional economy car? The 2013 Honda CR-Z combines a 1.5L petrol engine with Honda's IMA hybrid system in a compact two-door body. For Sri Lankan buyers, it offers distinctive styling, manageable fuel consumption, and enjoyable handling, although limited practicality, ageing hybrid components, and restricted rear visibility require consideration.

Honda CRZ 2013 Review 2013 Price in Sri Lanka
The Honda CRZ 2013 Review 2013 is priced at Rs 7,000,000 – 8,000,000 in Sri Lanka. Final price may vary by dealer, so please confirm with your dealer before buying.
Pros
The 2013 update increased combined system output to around 133–134 hp, depending on transmission and market.The CVT version produces approximately 172 Nm, providing useful electric assistance during lower-speed acceleration.Official CVT combined consumption was approximately 5.0 L/100 km, or 20 km/L, under Australian testing.At around 4.1 metres long, its compact dimensions make parking and urban manoeuvring relatively easy.
Cons
The CR-Z offers only two usable seats in some market specifications, making it substantially less practical than a Honda Fit.Restricted rear visibility can make reversing and lane positioning more difficult without a working camera.Hybrid battery condition becomes increasingly important on a vehicle now more than a decade old.Sporty styling suggests stronger performance than the approximately 133–134 hp hybrid system actually delivers.Driver Insights
3.5
out of 5
The 2013 Honda CR-Z is best understood as an unusual hybrid coupe rather than a genuine high-performance sports car. Honda combined its 1.5L engine with IMA electric assistance, giving the facelift more output than earlier versions. In Sri Lanka, its compact dimensions and reasonable consumption support everyday use, but limited passenger practicality reduces its appeal as a single family vehicle. Age also makes hybrid battery condition and maintenance history increasingly important. Buyers who value distinctive styling and enjoyable handling may appreciate it. Those primarily seeking maximum economy, cabin space, or effortless resale have more practical Honda alternatives available.

Exterior Design
Exterior styling remains one of the CR-Z's strongest attractions. Its low roofline, wedge-shaped profile, wide rear section, and sharply cut hatch distinguish it from conventional hybrid cars. Honda revised the styling for 2013 with changes to the front and rear treatment, while LED daytime running lights appeared on relevant specifications. The compact footprint works well around Sri Lankan cities and gives the vehicle a purposeful stance without requiring excessive road space. However, the dramatic rear design creates a practical disadvantage because rearward visibility is restricted. More than a decade later, the CR-Z still looks distinctive enough to attract enthusiast attention.
