Here’s a press release from Honda Atlas:
Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Limited launched the first sport hybrid CR-Z at a colorful event in Lahore in presence of press & electronic media. The event was attended by Mr. Takeharu Aoki, President & CEO Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Limited, along with the company management.
CR-Z, the sleek two-door coupe will appeal to a younger set or empty nesters who want a “green” car with a bit of style. The CR-Z offers three drive modes: sport, normal and economy. Sport mode enhances the car’s performance, while economy mode maximizes fuel economy.
Explaining the product Mr. Ayaz Hafeez General Manager Sales & Marketing said that the CR-Z is powered by a 1.5 L i-VTec engine with Honda’s integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid-electric system. The system delivers a combined peak output of 134 bhp at 6,600 rpm. With a Plus Sport System, the “S+” button on the steering wheel can be used to deliver increased acceleration. The CRZ offers a range of exciting features, bright colors and is available with a 6-speed manual or an automatic transmission.
Speaking at the occasion, Mr. Takehari Aoki, President & CEO Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) thanked the Pakistani customers for an overwhelming response to Honda Products in Pakistan. He said the CR-Z is an ideal balance of technology, performance and design and it will give an ultimate driving experience to Pakistani car-enthusiasts. It is an ideal car for those who recognize the value of advanced technology and for those who desire an eye-catching car while caring for the environment. The concept of developing the CR-Z was to create a car that is fun and brings excitement to everyday life through the experience of owning and driving it. As part of our commitment to provide the best ownership experience and peace of mind to our valued customer, we are launching this first sports hybrid covered under warranty by Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Limited. This also underlines our history of setting trends in our market.
What about the cost and economy of automatic ?
The availability of four doors and choice of the range of colours ?
price ?
price is about 36 lacks. and no there is no availability of four door but have good range of colours.
Is it totally local made,fuel consumption ?
Honda insight could have been better option
no. it is fully imported
ofc giving us an option of a 2 door hybrid with a 3 mill price tag is way better than giving us FIT/JAzz hybrid. Have no clue who made these idiots CEO or gave these monkeys decision making powers. shhessh
Honda Atlas, like Indus Corolla is only targeting 5% who have biggest pockets..does it make sense to them?. I think Pakistan is an open market. to give competitive edge to have an affordable better vehicles to every person, Govt immediately should invite all best auto manufactures from world to come, and compete. That I think is the only way to control these giant's auto players.
Honda and Toyota are producing too much expensive hybreds, It is comon sence Hybred cars are for fuel conscious peoples who want to save pockets. Toyota's Hybred price is about 45 lack, and no luxury features same as GLI. Then why i should not buy a good condition used Camary at 30 lak and remaining 15 lak i can not even spend on petrol for next 10 years. Same here with Honda. SO guys what is best Option ??
Honda City is far better then this two door Car. If you spend 15 Lakh on 0Meter city then you have more then 15 lakh remaining from the cost of this hybred car. If you reserve them for fuel then even you will have balance after driving it for more then 10 years
excellent design…
i agree cent percent
YOU R PROVIDING THIS CAR FOR THE CHILDREN OF MILIONAIRES,POOR PEOPLE CAN ONLY SEE ITS BROCHURES,DON'T PLAY WITH THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE WITH LOCAL MANUFACTURED CAR,
THEY PROVIDE 3RD GRADE CARS HERE FOR PAKISTAN.
I think import of new and reconditioned cars should be made open, without any conditions. Local car manufacturers have failed us, giving us poorly manufactured outdated technology (specially Suzuki) without much options in models, safety and technology, no potential of exports and foreign exchange either. Why should we be paying the price for their profits.

U r right bro
For somebody who wishes to save money on petrol…I can really see how a 36 lac makes perfect sense!
Rs 3.6 million car that saves fuel and only two door means not a family car??? its a joke. Remember we live in a country with lot of pot holes in roads, signal after every 500 meter and insane traffic rush, why they don't launch products keeping the requirements in mind.
I want to buy a hybrid car but never for a price of 3.6mil, that is just a damn high price
The Honda CR-Z seeks to provide both engaging driving dynamics and hybrid fuel efficiency so it'll be a hit on Pakistani roads in a few months time.
though its two-seater configuration limits practicality, but for those seeking an inexpensive, mildly sporty hybrid, it's the only choice on the Pakistani market because when you'll import a same car from overseas you'll know that even being 3.6m Rs its still very inexpensive.
So for me its a go.
Bro who told you 5%, the buying power of our people is way ahead of that. haven't you seen the 1+ crorh cars on the roads. i c them every day
