With its EPA range rating of 75 km on a
full charge, the 2018 Honda Clarity plug-in hybrid has earned the highest EV
range among all midsize plug-in hybrids.
Scheduled to arrive in dealerships later this year,
the Clarity PHEV also received an EPA fuel economy rating of 110 combined MPGe,
and an impressive gasoline only 44/40/42 MPG (5.3/5.8/5.6l/100km) rating.
The Clarity also has an overall EPA driving range of 547 km, helped by its efficient 1.5-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine.
All together, the Clarity PHEV puts down 181 horsepower and 314 Nm of torque, with the help of a 17-kWh battery, which can be recharged in 2.5
hours at 240 volts.
Honda is expecting the Clarity PHEV (available in
Standard and Touring trims) to be the volume sales leader in the lineup.
