Hybrid Horsepower: 8 High-Performance PHEV Cars and Concepts

Price: $19,545?$22,905
Fuel Economy: 35/39

The CR-Z was designed as the modern successor to the beloved CRX hatchbacks from the 1980s. The Honda CRX was small, efficient, and remarkably fun to drive. Even the top-performing Si models weighed well under 2000 pounds, so it was like a practical and reliable go-kart. That means the latest two-door Honda, the CR-Z, has big little shoes to fill.

If we're honest, it may not match the original in all measures of fun. But the CR-Z is one of the only inexpensive sports hybrids on the market right now. And its hybrid system has been designed to accentuate low-end torque, which gives reasonably good fuel economy numbers and also to delivers that off-the-line punch we American drivers love. Normal, Econ, and Sport modes are available to the driver. With its affordability and fun factor (especially when equipped with the six-speed manual transmission), the CR-Z is a great advance for the everyman who wants an affordable hybrid sports car
