Plug-in hybrid brings Honda into sharper Clarity

Honda's recently introduced Clarity plug-in hybrid sedan is the third variant of this revitalized and electrified nameplate. It joins the Clarity Fuel Cell, which debuted in December 2016 and the Clarity Battery Electric that arrived in the U.S. market in August 2017. The Plug-in Hybrid is the only one that's available in all 50 states and the sole version customers can purchase.

The base Plug-in is $33,400 with a more upscale Touring model offering features like leather seats and satellite navigation ringing in at $36,600. Available by lease only, the Fuel Cell is just for California consumption and the Battery Electric version is currently offered only in a couple U.S. West Coast states at present. Honda will also offer the Plug-in in Canada.
