At the rear, a sportier rear bumper can be seen but other than that, there are no obvious changes visible at the rear. Even the taillights appear to be the same as that found on the present model. Suffice to say, the facelift gives the Honda CR-Z an even sportier look, which certainly is a welcomed thing.
The cabin sees a substantial update as well with a new gear knob (seen here in the manual version). Elsewhere, the electronic parking brake just behind the gear shift replaces the manually operated one. Where the handbrake handle used to be, an armrest to take its place in the freed up space. Other minor updates sees the addition of chromed door handles, a new screen for the infotainment system, and unseen changes on the left-side stalk.
