Honda CR-Z Washes Out Of Australian Market

After less than four years on sale in Australia, Honda has pulled the CR-Z hybrid hot hatch out of its showrooms.

Sales of the CR-Z have been lacklustre, to say the least. In 2014 just 86 of them found buyers while only 58 were sold in 2013.

Its first full year on sale was its best, with 370 sold in 2012. Unfortunately, the CR-Z wasn't able to sustain that momentum.

Take away the Peugeot 207CC, 308CC and Volvo C70, and the CR-Z was the lowest-selling vehicle in its segment last year. Clearly, the CR-Z's promise of entertaining dynamics and low fuel consumption failed to resonate with Australian buyers.
