We can all agree on the fact that the Clarity is a 5-passenger, spacious and very comfortable Honda hybrid. The Japanese manufacturer has managed to put forward this hybrid (gasoline engine / electric motor), and like all hybrid vehicles, the Clarity behaves very well on the roads. Road tests have shown that this vehicle holds its own with other EVs in its category.
 

During the test, this plug-in hybrid model demonstrated an autonomy of up to 82 km in conditions that were not optimal. This element alone puts it in the top of its class with the Chevrolet Volt. With a 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve Atkinson engine, the Clarity makes it easy to ride with confidence when the battery is depleted and for a long distance. Moreover, on the consumption side, it beats its rival because it consumes less once the 100% electric stage passed. In addition, the power of the engine with its 212 horses makes driving more pleasant during longer journeys. On the other hand, the electric engine has a capacity of 17 kWh and the battery can be recharged in 2.5 hours to a 240V rechargeable terminal. It can also be recharged with a 120V outlet.
 

In addition, Longueuil Honda, our car dealer near Montreal, offers two versions of the Clarity. The Rechargeable Hybrid Clarity and the more advanced Touring model. In both versions, the cabin is spacious and the soundproofing is a clear advantage over its rivals. The same can be said of its ultra-comfortable and ergonomic seats, as well as the wealth of equipment and technological features.
 

Thus, your Honda dealer will be able to show you the simple operation of the hybrid system and explain in detail the electric mode of the vehicle. Its system does not differ significantly from other hybrid cars, but a good initial knowledge allows for a better understanding of the general operation of the Clarity.
 

Returning to the pioneering technologies of the Rechargeable Hybrid Clarity, this newer model features Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Adjustment and Honda's LaneWatch Blind Spot Display System Involuntary Line Crossing Assistance (LKAS). On the outside, one will appreciate the intelligent wiper and variable intermittent wiper system, foldable and heated mirrors, color-keyed door handles, and more.
 

In terms of entertainment, the Clarity can rely on Wi-Fi connectivity powered by a modem4, a USB audio interface, text messaging and email, controls on the sound system, Bluetooth audio streaming, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto systems, a 180-watt audio system compatible with MP3 and Windows Media Audio files, as well as 8 speakers, etc.
 

Moreover, since the Japanese manufacturer seeks to stand out in terms of safety, the Clarity is equipped with anti-lock brakes ABS 4 wheels, a braking assistance system with impact reduction, a system of front collision warning, hill start assistance to avoid backing up, lane departure warning system, LED daytime running lights, vehicle stability assistance with traction control and more…
