The third generation CRX was introduced in February 1992.  In addition to adding " Del Sol" to its name, this model also greatly changed the nature of the CRX.

This fashionable open-top 2 seater features distinctive styling.  Although front engine/ front drive layout remains unchanged, various touches give it a mid-engined appearance.  A highlight is the electrically operated power roof.  It has an ingeniously designed mechanism.  When the top is opened the trunk rises and roof slides under it to the rear, then the trunk lowers back to its original position.  The two engine options are the 1.6-liter SOHC in-line 4 cylinder model D16A (128hp at 6.600 rpm and 108 1b-ft at 5.5000 rpm) and the civics model B16A (168hp at 7.800 rpm) [153 hp with the automatic transmission] and 116 lb-ft at 7,500 rpm.  Both are VTEC engines available with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.  Double wishbone front and rear suspension is combined with front disc brakes in all models.  The D16A engine is paired with rear drum brakes, the B16A with rear disc brakes.  The 168hp VTEC engines delivers a comfortable drive and outstanding power.
