The base model of Honda's all-new 2011 CR-Z has been priced at $19,200, which doesn't include a $750 destination fee. The sporty hybrid coupe will get a price bump to $20,760 for the EX trim and top out at $23,210 with navigation and a continuously variable automatic transmission.
While more expensive, the CVT increases fuel economy from 31/37 miles per gallon in the city and 35/39 mpg on the highway. There's no doubt that Honda was eager to push the starting price below the $20,000 threshold (and below its own Insight), making the CR-Z the cheapest hybrid available.
