A sport hybrid with a playful streak
Drive a CR-Z
The CR-Z is a two-seat sport hybrid hatchback built for the 2011–2016 model years, pairing a 1.5L engine with an electric motor. It's one of the most distinctive picks in Honda car rental on Turo — a modern classic with coupe attitude and hybrid efficiency.
On Turo, you book your CR-Z from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. That matters for a niche car that's hard to find in traditional rental fleets. It also gives you days behind the wheel — a longer, hands-on drive than a quick dealer test drive.

Hybrid power with a push-button boost
The CR-Z runs on Honda Integrated Motor Assist, which teams a 1.5L i-VTEC four-cylinder with an electric motor for 130 hp. Torque reaches 140 lb-ft with the manual and 127 lb-ft with the CVT. Press the S+ button on the steering wheel and the Plus Sport System releases max battery power for up to five seconds of extra acceleration.
Three drive modes for every mood
The CR-Z gives you three drive modes — Sport, Normal, and ECON — so you can tune the car to the road ahead. You'll find the buttons to the left of the steering wheel, and each mode adjusts throttle sensitivity, steering effort, and more.
Normal is the default, striking a balance between response and efficiency for everyday driving. Sport adds extra power and enhanced handling, which is ideal when a winding road calls your name. ECON optimizes the throttle and air conditioning for efficiency, making it a smart pick for long highway stretches.
Your choice of manual or CVT
A six-speed manual comes standard on the CR-Z — a rare find in a hybrid. Owners often call the manual a big part of the car's appeal, and you'll see why after a few quick shifts.
Prefer two pedals? The available CVT adds paddle shifters and earns 36 mpg city and 39 mpg highway, versus 31 mpg city and 38 mpg highway for the manual. Check the listing to see which transmission your CR-Z has, so you can pick the drive that suits you.
Stand out with a CR-Z
The CR-Z pairs sporty two-seat style with hybrid efficiency, and few cars pull off both. Its wedge-shaped sport compact body looks sharp at the curb, while 37 mpg combined keeps fuel stops in check. It's a natural fit for couples, solo city trips, weekend drives, and enthusiasts who want to evaluate a CR-Z before buying one.
Top CR-Z features
Concept-car heritage
The CR-Z started life as a concept at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, and the production car carries a low, wedge-shaped profile. Honda designed it as a fun-to-drive sports car with signature Honda driving character, wrapped in a hybrid package.
Honda built the CR-Z in Suzuka, Japan, for the 2011–2016 model years, and production ended at the end of 2016. That short run makes it a modern classic today. You won't find one on a new-car lot anymore, so booking one on Turo gives you a rare turn behind the wheel.
Surprising cargo space
The CR-Z offers 25.1 cu ft of cargo space behind its two seats — more than you might expect from a sport compact. Credit the hatchback liftback design, which lets you load bags from the rear instead of squeezing them past the seats.
That's enough room for weekend luggage for two, plus the extras you pick up along the way. Soft-sided bags are easier to fit around the shape of the cargo area, so pack them when you can. You get coupe looks up front and genuine weekend-trip practicality out back.
Efficiency-coaching tech
The CR-Z coaches you toward smarter driving in real time. Eco Assist feedback runs through an ambient meter that glows green, blue, or red based on your drive mode and how you're driving. Idle-stop shuts the engine off when you come to a stop, saving fuel in traffic.
Hill start assist and an electric parking brake make steep streets and stop-and-go traffic easier to manage. The 2016 refresh also added a seven-inch touchscreen, giving the final model year a more modern dash.

Top tips and things to know before renting a CR-Z
Get to know your CR-Z
The CR-Z seats two people, so plan your trip around one passenger at most. The seating position sits low and the doors are long, so give yourself extra room to open them in tight parking garages.
You'll get 25.1 cu ft of cargo space for bags. Traveling with a bigger group? A spacious Honda Odyssey minivan gives everyone a seat.
CR-Z driving tips
Start in Normal mode to get a feel for the car, then switch to Sport for spirited roads or ECON for efficient highway cruising. Save the S+ boost for merging — it works once you're above 19 mph with enough battery charge.
Don't worry if the engine shuts off at a red light — that's idle-stop doing its job. Hill start assist helps on inclines. If your CR-Z has the manual, make sure you're comfortable with a clutch before you book.
How much does it cost to rent a CR-Z?
CR-Z rental prices vary by location, trip dates, and the specific vehicle, so check listings on Turo for current rates. Planning a longer stay? Many listings offer discounts for extended trips, so explore long-term car rental options for weeks or months behind the wheel.
