Honda Z Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1970–1974) — First Generation
The first-generation Honda Z is a Mini 3-doors city car with a low, coupe-like shape. You sit close to the road in a compact cabin meant for short urban hops rather than long family journeys.
Every Honda Z engine in this generation runs on gasoline and is sized for city work, not highway pace. You get a straightforward powertrain and transmission, so the drivetrain stays simple in stop-start traffic. Named versions only change how that gasoline setup is tuned.
