Additionally, The CR-Z EX is available with the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System that includes Voice Recognition.

With the CR-Z, the options are countless. CVT - Automatic Continuously Variable Transmission is available for manual-like gear-ratio control and includes steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Also unique to this vehicle is the 3-mode drive system. It permits the driver to configure the car's responsiveness for Normal, Economy or Sport driving modes. Also included are driver efficiency tools that include Eco Scoring and Eco Assist. Together, they can help drivers improve driving efficiency, while at the same time prolong the life of the automobile.

The CR-Z exemplifies Honda's commitment to safety. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering body is engineered to assist in protecting all passengers in a head-on collision. Additional safety features include Vehicle Stability Assist, tire pressure monitoring system, multiple-threshold front airbags, side-curtain airbags, active head restraints, anti-lock brakes, and a pedestrian injury mitigation design in the front of the car.
