Honda CRZ

Posted on March 13, 2012 by admin

Carrying the air of a sports car, the Honda CRZ retain its identity which was being passed down by the 80’s and 90’s Honda CR-X. Being introduced last year, this beauty strives to be an outstanding hybrid car with a sporty look. As a result, Honda Malaysia is able to carry this range and meet both its goal, to be an excellent hybrid car and have a sporty look.

Honda CRZ

The hybrid engine is able to bring this beauty to 35 mpg city/ 39 mpg highway which are good enough to be placed seventh on the EPA’s 2012 Hybrid Economy list. However, it falls short from the new Toyata Prius that possess a leading number of 51mpg city/ 48 mpg highway. Also to ensure it maintains its sporty look, a six speed manual transmission was implanted.

Honda CR-Z

Do not be confused with the word sporty and sport, because this Honda CR-Z is indeed sporty, but it is not a sports car. Why? Because from 0 to 60mph it takes around 8.5 seconds which is a weak number for a sports car, thus eliminating it from the sports car category.

Incorporated in the body system of the Honda CRZ, is the sixth generation parallel hybrid system called the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). A pan-caked like generator/ electric motor is mounted between both engine and transmission, but only works its wonders with the conventional combustion engine. When speed increases, the engine will cut off fuel allowing the electric motor to take control. Just like any other hybrid vehicle, the engine will remain silent when the car is stationery but will roar once again when it is time to move.

Also implanted in the system of Honda CR-Z is a 1.5litre four cylinder, 16 valve i-VTEC heart. Besides, an improved variable valve timing and lift system that is computer controlled were also installed. The function of such installation is to improve fuel efficiency while minimises its exhaust emissions. The heart is able to generate a maximum output of 113 horsepower at 6,000rpm with 107 pounds-feet of torque at 4,8000rpm. What’s more, to boost the energy produces, the 10-kilowatt electric motor adds an additional 13 horsepower when the vehicle is running at 1,500rpm with 58 pounds-feet of torque at 1,000rpm.

To manoeuvre this beauty, two transmissions are used. Firstly, the six speed manual transmission and secondly, the hybrid transmission with only three pedals. Drivers that enjoy riding in a manual car can get his/ her hand on the shift paddles located at the steering wheel, which provides 7 fixed speed ratios for the drivers to choose from, simply press the up or down button, drivers can now experience the sensation of a sports car while riding in a Honda CRZ. To have a real life experience of this beauty, do drop by Honda Malaysia’s outlet for a better look.

First Honda Civic

Posted on January 10, 2012 by admin

In 1972, Honda Civic was born out of the need to develop an economical “people’s car”. Instead of a rear-wheel-drive layout, the Civic was built as a front-wheel-drive with decreased thickness of steel sheets to achieve new levels of vehicle lightness. With the Civic, Honda also introduced independent strut-type suspension into the compact car market, giving the car a sportier drive.

Honda Zero Emissions Vehicles

Posted on December 23, 2011 by admin

Ever wondered what our future society would look like? Based on collective efforts in managing greenhouse gas emissions globally, the speed and intensity of which new technologies are implemented could very well accelerate our dream of achieving a clean, healthy society with zero emissions.

The effectiveness of the solar-powered charging station and Honda ’s electric vehicles are being tested at the prefectural facilities in Japan to help realise a low-carbon mobility society.

For Honda, this is not a mere castle in the air. In fact, the dream of realising a low-carbon society is gaining traction and may soon be within reach for some communities. In a race to achieve clean energy for everyone, Honda has started testing programmes for its range of next-generation personal mobility products in Japan (Saitama and Kumamoto prefectures) and the US (Torrance, California), and plans to launch a similar programme in China.


Quick chargers are available around the prefectures and as an added convenience, drivers can search for charging station locations via their smartphones that are connected to the InterNavi system.

The programme is aimed at designing greener solutions and enhancing the quality of life of local communities by testing Honda’s electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles, electric scooters and power products based on electromotive technologies in real-world urban transportation environments. Honda’s devoted vision of achieving a low-carbon mobility society means that the residents of these selected cities are getting a fresh taste of the future.

In the on-going trial with the respective cities, residents are encouraged to share the EV facilities in their area while Honda evaluates the convenience of its use and benefits. This real-world study is certainly notable, as it helps determine optimal locations of EV charging stations based on the travelling routes used by the local citizens – this includes senior citizens who get to experience the convenience of using the Monpal ML200 electric carts while students and local business operators are encouraged to test the EV-neo electric scooters on short journeys to school or during business deliveries. Even the electric vehicle and plugin hybrid vehicle is available for residents and tourists to expand its usage.

Always placing the customers at the heart of their initiatives, Honda is also testing a support tool using the InterNavi Premium Club services to improve customer convenience and safety. Honda developed this unique interactive information network service to deliver real-time information to the driver from the InterNavi Information Centre, such as Honda’s solar-powered charging stations. Using either a smartphone or a car navigation screen, customers can search for charging stations, set destinations, confirm vehicle conditions as well as access ecodriving information – all of which ultimately works to make navigation on a Honda EV or plug-in hybrid vehicle more enjoyable.

While the Electric Vehicle Testing Program has been running for a year now, it may still be too early to pioneer a shift in society’s adoption in electric vehicles. It surely is not time yet to say goodbye to petrol stations but we are certain that Honda will continue exploring the potential of greener mobility for a cleaner tomorrow.

Honda’s latest engine oil spends less fuel

Posted on December 20, 2011 by admin

Honda’s latest innovation of fully synthetic SM0W-20 engine oil was put to test recently through a fuel challenge event organised for Honda dealers. Their sole mission was to test the new engine oil’s performance and fuel efficiency compared to a competing engine oil of 10W-40 (Brand X). The result? Honda’s new fully synthetic SM0W-20 engine oil was proven to save 7% more fuel compared to Brand X

The fuel challenge brought together representatives from Honda Malaysia and Idemitsu Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand who travelled more than 2,000km across
Peninsular Malaysia over 5 days and 4 nights. The teams and their vehicles were tested on several criteria, average fuel economy, average speed, drive time, fuel used, distance travelled, road type, weather, time and traffic flow, while driving through various road conditions that comprised of hilly, winding, coastal, village and highway roads. Through rain and shine, days and nights, smooth and congested traffic, the challenge took them from Kuala Lumpur to Kuantan, Penang, Johor and Putrajaya before ending at Petaling Jaya.

In the challenge, the car with SM0W-20 engine oil clocked an average distance of 16.55km/L with an average fuel consumption of 6 litre per 100km – that’s 7% less fuel used compared to the 10W-40 engine oil. The dedication and challenging spirit of Honda’s Fuel Saving Challenge Team managed to defy the odds by developing a high quality, fuel-saving fully synthetic blended premium engine oil. For its proven efficiency and superior consistency, the SM0W-20 engine oil is recommended for ordinary daily use for selected Honda models produced after 2001.

For more information on the SM0W-20 engine oil, visit any Honda Authorised Service Centres for professional advice.
