Responsible Indulgence
The CR-Z was designed for excellent fuel economy[1], but not at the expense of driving fun. With a combined EPA-estimated 37 mpg (CVT)[1], the AT-PZEV-rated[2] CR-Z ranks as one of the more efficient cars out there. And once you take it for a spin, you'll see that both goals were realized.
Eco Assist™
EPA numbers are important, but the way you drive also affects the fuel economy[1] you achieve. The CR-Z features a guidance system that helps boost your efficiency and monitor your own driving habits to maximize your mpg. It's called Eco Assist™[3] and it includes a green ECON™ button[3] that, when pressed, regulates certain vehicle functions to maximize efficiency. The system also features real-time feedback to help promote driver awareness of efficient driving habits on a daily and ongoing basis.
