What clarifications do Edmonds recommend?
This decision is easy for us: The plug-in hybrid is the best version of clarity to live with clarity. Even the standard version is equipped with advanced driver safety aids, smartphone integration and comfort facilities, but spring for the touring trim level if you want leather upholstery and power-adjustable front seats.
Edmonds Expert Review
overall rating
7.2 / 10
2019 Honda Clarity is one of them, but there are some vehicles that give you the option of fuel source. First of all, there is a plug-in hybrid version that uses a combination of gasoline engine and electric motor to move you down the road. Second, the electric model, which comes with a large battery pack and a more powerful motor. Finally, a fuel cell version converts hydrogen and oxygen into electricity to run the car.
For most drivers, the Clarity plug-in hybrid will be the ideal choice. With a fully charged battery, it can provide up to 48 miles of the all-electric range to handle the commuting and almost city visits. Once the battery is over, the gasoline engine gets a fire and the clerical works like any other hybrid. It also has the largest trunk of three clerity models.
Clarity Electric is battery-operated only. Unfortunately, its driving range is a disappointing 89 miles, far less than the limits of other EVs such as Chevrolet Bolt and Nissan Leaf. Finally, Clarity Fuel Cell is available as a lease only and works best for those who live or work near Hydrogen Fuel Station. It is easy to refuel as a conventional car, and it goes up to 366 miles on a tank filled with hydrogen gas.
Of the three clarity editions, the plug-in hybrid is the most widespread appeal for consumers. It is comfortable, it has a solid amount of electric range, and you should serve well as a economical and well-equipped hybrid.
Honda Clarity model
2019 Honda Clarity is offered in three different versions: plug-in hybrid, electric and fuel cell (late availability). Honda offers plug-in hybrid in two trim levels. Others just have a trim.
The Clarity plug-in hybrid starts you in the base or touring trim. Both come with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, with an electric motor hybrid system (total system power 212 horse power and 232 pound-feet of torque), together with 17-kWh lithium-ion battery. Electric-only range is estimated at 48 miles, and the fuel economy for regular hybrid operation is 42 mpg.
Base trim features include Keyless Entry and Start, Heated Front Seats, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, 8-inch Touchscreen, Apple Carpole and Android Auto, two USB ports, eight-speaker sound system and Honda sensing suite. Driver Support Features The touring trim includes power-adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, navigation system, and remote climate-control preconcession.
After this the charity is electric. There is an electric motor (161 hp, 221 lb-ft) and a relatively small (25.5-kWh) lithium-ion battery pack. As such, its EPA-estimated range of 89 miles puts it near the bottom of the EV pack. Otherwise, it is well-equipped with all the above features.
In the end, the Clarity Fuel Cell is powered by an electric motor (174 hp, 221 lb-ft), which is fed by a fuel cell. Rear-mounted tanks hold enough compressed hydrogen for an EPA-estimated 366 mile emission-free motoring. Specifically, fuel cells typically come with a premium 12-speaker sound system.
Trim tested
Each vehicle usually comes in several versions which are fundamentally similar. The rating in this review is based on our full test of Honda Clarity Fuel Cell (Electric Fuel Cell | 1-Speed Direct Drive | FWD).
Driving
7.0
Clarity is not an exciting car to drive, but it is easy and easy to drive everyday. Acceleration and handling are adequate but nothing more than that
Acceleration
7.0
Acceleration is fast enough for driving around the city, but it's about it. At high speeds, there is not a whole lot more on the tap. In our test, Clarity took 8.4 seconds to cover the distance of 0-60 miles per hour. We saw a remarkably slow time in the extra back-to-back acceleration run
apply brake
5.5
Brakes usually work during casual driving but feel unnaturally spring and disconnect under medium to heavy braking. There is not much regenerative braking effect when loading the accelerator. To prevent 60 miles per hour, it required 129 feet, which is a result.
Steering
7.0
Its steering is direct and has a solid buildup all around the center, but it is very numerically overall. Quick inputs are accomplished with a fairly silent reaction. Even so, the clarity is obviously better than its opponent, Toyota Miraii, when it comes to steering effect.
Handling
6.0
The clarity seems heavy, but not the idea. Connection at a nominal speed is appropriate composition. Handling is done deliberately rather than playful. his
