2013 Honda CR-Z pictures

The Honda CR-Z is the world's first hybrid sports car.

Combining a 1.5 litre petrol engine with a 19bhp electric motor, the CR-Z promises warm performance and good economy.

The CR-Z's interior is mostly borrowed from the Insight.

The CR-Z is the first hybrid car with a manual gearbox.

Honda's dial arrangement remains fussy and a bit confusing.

Standard equipment is good across the range.

All cars get LED daytime running lights.

The CR-Z isn't fast, but the steering and handling are quick to respond and good fun.

The rear seats are tiny and only suited to very small children or luggage.

Most owners will keep the rear seats folded which boosts load area to a decent 401 litres.
