Or will it return to the hybrid sports car market? Honda applied for CR-Z trademark patent in the United States.

On August 7th, EV Vision learned from foreign media that Honda had applied for the trademark CR-Z from USPTO. CR-Z is a hybrid sports car owned by Honda. It was officially discontinued in 20 16, and no follow-up models have been launched yet. After that, Honda CR-Z may return to the market.

According to the document, the use scope of CR-Z trademark includes: automobiles, automobile structures and automobile parts. Although we may think that Honda wants to resurrect this classic model at first, combined with Honda's current planning in the United States, Civic Coupe, Fit Manual Accord and other models have been discontinued in the United States due to cost and sales problems, and this time the resurrection is a more unpopular CR-Z, which seems to be inconsistent with the status quo.

Honda launched CR-Z in February 20 10, which is a hybrid two-door two-seat sports car. In terms of power, it consists of 1.5L engine+motor, which can match CVT or six-speed manual gearbox. The engine power data is 99kW, and the motor power data is 100kW. By the way, is CR-Z there? In 20 13, a small modified model was introduced, and it was discontinued in 20 16.

Honda CR-Z can be equipped with hybrid or pure electric powertrain in the form of coupe or hatchback, which can further increase Honda's sales in sub-models. On the other hand, the trademark of CR-Z expires in 20 17 in the United States. Re-registration can protect the product name from competitors.
