Yes, folks – more news on the 2015 Honda CR-Z facelift. Barely a week has passed since the hybrid hatch was revealed and already we’re looking at the full lineup of Modulo accessories dedicated to the car. For those who need a quick recap, the CR-Z now sports a raft of exterior modifications which include full LED headlamps and new wheel designs while the interior features a revamped architecture.

No changes under the bonnet, with the same 1.5 litre i-VTEC with IMA motor setup putting out a total of 136 PS at 6,600 rpm and 172 Nm from 1,000 to 3,000 rpm. The rear track has now been widened by 10 mm while the brake discs themselves have been upsized along with the caliper piston diameter.

All in all, the changes add up to a rather decent breath of fresh air for the petite Honda. With that said, there are those who would prefer to spice up the looks of their respective cars both inside and out – which is exactly what we’re talking about here. Dubbed the S-Style range, add-ons include front bumper ornaments with a chin spoiler as well as a fog light garnish.

Elsewhere, one can option out door mirror covers, more pronounced side sills and a stylised fuel filler cap along with twin five-spoke 17-inch aluminium wheels. At the rear, the centre of attention is the massive tailgate spoiler that should appeal to one’s touring car fantasies. Owners can also spec a sports suspension setup that lowers the car by 10 mm and features a five-stage adjustment for damper firmness.

Moving on to the interior, optional Recaro bucket seats lead the way in terms of upgrades. The list is further augmented with sports pedals and a steel shift knob. For an even sportier (and flashier) ambience, owners can have the instrument cluster cowl trimmed in carbon while LED rings around the speakers and side sills can be included. Also, a plethora of key covers are made available.

Driver conveniences arrive in the form of a optional dash cam as well as reverse parking sensors. The infotainment system can also be customised from a selection of three Gathers Concept platforms – dubbed Standard Internavi, Basic Internavi and Premium Internavi.
