Greetings from Jakarta, where we are reporting live from the Indonesia International Motor Show at the JI Expo. There have been a number of debuts, but none as big as this – Honda has given the facelifted CR-Z its world premiere at the show.
External revisions to the car includes a new design front grille and front bumper as well as fog lamps. Elsewhere, there are also new HID head lights, rear LED combination lamps, door mirrors, rear diffuser and a new 17-inch alloy wheel.
Interior changes are made up of a new two-tone black and red fabric for the seats, while the instrument panel tachometer now illuminates in three different backlight colours (blue, red and green), depending on the mode chosen (Normal, Sport and ECON). Aside from this, there is the inclusion of a new Plus Sport System, where the engine and motor offers a more performance-oriented response, switchable through a S+ button.
The Indonesian press release lists the power output of the 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine as 120 PS at 6,600 rpm for the six-speed manual and 118 PS for the CVT, and adds that the 100 volt IMA motor offers 20 PS. It doesn’t state whether the total sum adds up directly for a combined total, so I can’t tell you how much gains have been made. Right now, the current car offers 124 PS.
Safety kit incldues ABS, EBD and brake assist, VSA, active headrests, dual front airbags as well as side airbags with OPDS (occupant postion detection sensor) and side curtain airbags.
Two new colours debut alongside the car, Premium Northern Lights Violet (the tone as seen on the teaser image recently) and Premium Energetic Yellow Pearl, which is the debut colour at the show. It will also be available in White Pearl, Crystal Black and Milano Red.
In Indonesia, the new CR-Z is slated to make its market debut in February next year.
