Honda did not release official images of the redesigned CR-Z. Media outlets around the world picked up photos of the CR-Z from the Web site of Paul Tan, an automotive reporter who covers Malaysia.
An American Honda Motor Co. spokesman who spoke to Edmunds on Friday was unable to explain the unusual choice of venue for the unveiling of the Honda CR-Z. Honda announced on September 14 that the CR-Z would debut at the 2012 Paris Auto Show.
Tan reported that the revised CR-Z now delivers 134 horsepower — up from 122 on the current Honda CR-Z. Honda's hybrid three-door hatch is equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine that teams up with a front-drive electric motor powered by a nickel-metal hydride battery pack.
Tan said the showcar's doors were locked, limiting what he could see of the interior.
The 2013 CR-Z refresh includes a new grille, revised front bumper, new foglights and restyled alloy wheels. The first full official image of the CR-Z was released last Friday. Bits and pieces of the refreshed hybrid were revealed earlier, including such details as a new instrument panel button marked "S+" and LED headlights.
