How much factory warranty is left on your CR-Z?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Honda CR-Z factory warranty
New Honda vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Honda dealer.
The CR-Z is no longer sold new in the US, so most examples are close to or beyond the end of factory coverage.
Why body style matters
Sports cars are driven harder and built with tighter tolerances. Clutches, limited-slip differentials and high-output engines cost more to repair, and plans commonly exclude damage from racing or track use.
Hybrid system
A hybrid adds a high-voltage battery, an inverter, one or more motor-generators and an electric air-conditioning compressor. The hybrid battery usually has its own long factory warranty. Many extended plans exclude the battery but cover the inverter and motors, so read that section carefully.
About Honda
Hondas have a strong reliability record, which keeps plan prices lower than average. Newer models use small turbocharged engines and continuously variable transmissions, both more expensive to replace than the older designs.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Is the Honda CR-Z eligible for extended coverage?
Eligibility depends on the vehicle's year and mileage, and each provider sets its own limits. Because the CR-Z is no longer sold new, older examples may qualify only for powertrain-level plans.
Which coverage level fits a Honda CR-Z?
If the hybrid system and transmission are your main concern, a powertrain plan covers them. If you also want air conditioning, electrical parts and electronics covered, look at a mid-level or comprehensive plan.
How much does a Honda CR-Z extended warranty cost?
Price depends on the model year, mileage, coverage level, deductible and your ZIP code. Request a quote with your details for an actual price.
