How many miles per gallon does a 2010 Honda CRZ get?
A 2010 Honda CR-Z typically achieves about 34 miles per gallon combined (roughly 31 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway). The exact figure depends on the transmission type and driving conditions.
Understanding the 2010 CR-Z’s fuel economy
The 2010 CR-Z was Honda’s hybrid two-seat hatchback, offered with two transmissions: a 6-speed manual and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Both configurations share the same hybrid powertrain, but real-world fuel economy can vary with driving style and conditions.
The following EPA estimates reflect the official ratings provided when the car was new and show how city and highway figures combine into an overall mpg figure.
- Manual transmission (6-speed): EPA-estimated around 31 mpg city and 37 mpg highway, with a combined rating typically reported in the low-to-mid 30s.
- CVT automatic: EPA-estimated around 31 mpg city and 37 mpg highway, with a similar combined rating to the manual in practice.
Real-world mileage can vary based on factors such as driving style, terrain, climate control usage, tire condition, and overall vehicle maintenance.
Real-world driving and ownership experience
In everyday driving, owners often report mpg in the low-to-mid 30s for mixed driving, with higher efficiency possible on steady highway trips and efficient driving. Aggressive acceleration, frequent stop-and-go, and high-speed cruising tend to reduce overall fuel economy.
To maximize efficiency, drivers typically use Eco/Economy modes when available, keep speeds steady, maintain proper tire pressure, and ensure regular maintenance of the hybrid system and engine.
Summary
The 2010 Honda CR-Z is generally rated around 34 mpg combined (31 mpg city / 37 mpg highway). The transmission choice can influence the exact figure slightly, but both the manual and CVT variants usually fall in the low-to-mid 30s in typical driving. For prospective buyers or owners, real-world mileage will depend on how and where the car is driven.
