Honda CR-Z Performance Overview
Honda’s CR-Z performance profile is confined to a single U.S. model year, with 6 verified tests spanning 2011 to 2011. In that short run, the car established a consistent identity as a compact hybrid hatchback built around the 122-hp LEA powertrain, with every recorded example using a hybrid setup rather than a conventional gasoline-only or electric layout. Across those six tests, 0-60 times ranged from 8.3 to 10.5 seconds, with quarter-mile results clustering in the mid-16-second range.
Because there was only one production year, the CR-Z’s performance story is essentially the launch-year data set. The quickest recorded run came from the 2011 Hatchback at 8.3 seconds to 60 mph, which also stands as the model’s all-time best. Other trims filled out the spread, including the 2011 EX Hatchback at 10.5 seconds to 60 mph, while the same EX Hatchback produced the car’s quickest quarter-mile at 16.4 seconds at 83.7 mph. Averaged across the full sample, the CR-Z posted 9.12 seconds to 60 mph and 16.9 seconds at 82.6 mph in the quarter-mile. Today, that leaves the CR-Z as a short-run, data-light Honda hybrid whose performance record is defined entirely by its 2011 launch configuration.

How we verify Honda CR-Z performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Honda CR-Z trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
