Honda CR-X del Sol

The del Sol featured a removable aluminum hardtop that stowed onto a hinged frame in the trunk and a motorized drop-down rear window.

The base model (called the VXi in Japan) came equipped with 13-inch steel wheels, available only at Honda Verno Japanese dealerships.

The Si also came with 14-inch alloy wheels, which were offered in an optional body-color-matched paint scheme on Samba Green models, power side mirrors, cruise control, rear disc brakes, wider tires, and additional front & rear anti-sway bars.

The SiR models in Japan are powered by a 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp) 1.6-liter DOHC VTEC (B16A) 4-cylinder engine available with an optional limited-slip differential.

Depending on model and market, the options included a rear spoiler, custom floor mats, an automatic transmission, power steering, heated mirrors, front fog lights, traction control system (JDM only), limited-slip differential (JDM only), and air conditioning.

During its initial year, trim levels were limited to the S and Si models powered by SOHC Honda D-series 4-cylinder engines.

[5] An option available in Japan and Europe was the TransTop, an electric mechanism which retracted the targa top into the trunk via a push of a button.
