2013 Honda CR-Z 3dr CVT EX

Meet the Purple 2013 Honda CR-Z—a sporty little hatchback that blends downtown-cool style with hybrid smarts. Its sleek, compact shape makes it feel perfectly sized for tight parking spots and quick errands, but the real fun starts once you’re behind the wheel: a 1.5L i-VTEC 4-cylinder hybrid setup with Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist gives you that extra electric “oomph” when you want it, while still keeping things efficiency-minded when you don’t.

This CR-Z lets you match the car’s personality to your mood with a 3-mode drive system (Sport, Normal, and ECON). Feeling spirited? Tap into Sport mode and enjoy the Plus Sport System for a more engaging drive. Want to chill and stretch every mile? ECON mode teams up with the Eco Assist system and helpful displays that make it oddly satisfying to watch your driving habits improve. And when traffic turns into stop-and-go, the idle-stop indicator and hybrid power flow info help you stay in tune with what the car is doing.

It’s also built for daily comfort and confidence. The continuously variable automatic transmission keeps things smooth, and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters add a little extra control when the road gets twisty. Front-wheel drive, a MacPherson strut front suspension, and a torsion-beam rear suspension deliver a planted, easy-to-handle feel, while hill start assist helps take the stress out of uphill stops. Braking is handled by power ventilated front and solid rear disc brakes, backed by ABS with electronic brake distribution and brake assist.

On the outside, the Purple paint pairs nicely with HID headlights with auto on/off, fog lights, LED daytime running lights, and LED brake lights for a sharp look day or night. Inside, you’ll find a driver-focused cabin with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, textured aluminum pedals, blue backlit gauges, and ambient lighting touches that make nighttime drives feel special. Automatic climate control keeps the cabin comfortable, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink helps you stay connected, and practical hatchback versatility is boosted by smart storage spaces and a retractable cargo cover.

Safety tech like Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, multiple airbags, and tire pressure monitoring rounds out a package that’s as reassuring as it is fun. This CR-Z is proof that a used car can still feel like a fresh idea.
