About the 2019 Honda Clarity
1st Clarity sedan generation (introduced for 2017), mid-run year; third model year for Electric and Fuel Cell, second model year for Plug-In Hybrid.
Honda positioned the Clarity as an electrified sedan family for shoppers who wanted lower-emission driving without giving up space, comfort, or familiar Honda usability. The core idea was simple: three different advanced powertrains, one roomy four-door body. Across the range, Honda emphasized quiet driving, standard driver-assist tech, smartphone-friendly infotainment, and a more upscale cabin than many eco-focused rivals.
The 2019 Clarity is a roomy sedan sold in plug-in hybrid, battery-electric, and hydrogen fuel-cell forms. Plug-In Hybrid models pair a gasoline engine with a 17.0-kWh battery, while Touring adds leather-trimmed seats, power front seats, and navigation. Electric models emphasize familiar comfort and smartphone integration, while Fuel Cell models have a head-up display and a 360-mile EPA range rating.

“The Honda infotainment center can have bad connections for apple carplay. The charging does not indicate on the car until turned on. The vehicle is pretty large for it's class.”
