How many Honda CRX are left in New Zealand?
Scarce 1 in 9,521 on the road Built 1983-1998 Sold new in New Zealand
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
A light, short-tailed coupe spun off the Civic in 1983, at first sold in Japan as the Ballade Sports CR-X. The second generation of 1987 is the one enthusiasts chase, especially with the twin-cam VTEC engine, for its low weight and sharp handling. The third, the del Sol of 1992, swapped the fastback for a lift-off targa roof.
