The Honda Motor Company may not be synonymous with hybrids or electric vehicles, but if the 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid is any indication, that's going to change soon…and fast. We're proud to welcome it to MotorWorld Honda, and eager to welcome you for a test drive.
2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid
It's easy to forget sometimes how much research and development goes into new Honda cars. Then you see a car like the 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid and you're reminded of all the hard work - and the great vehicles that result.
Some of the technology here is tried and true. That's certainly the case with the inline four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine and the concept of a plug-in hybrid. It's the way it all comes together that's especially impressive; you get very good all-electric range for in-town driving, and even when it's firing on all cylinders, you'll find yourself making fewer trips to the pump.
That "green" approach makes itself felt in other ways. The interior makes heavy use of environmentally-conscious materials in a bid to lessen the car's carbon footprint and make it more Earth-friendly.
2018 Honda Clarity Safety and Special Features
The tech-heavy approach is also apparent when you're inside the vehicle. To begin with, the Honda Sensing™ suite of safety features comes standard here, so you get an extra dose of calm with your peace and quiet.
The instrument cluster is a bit different than you'll find on, say, a Honda Accord, as well. There's much more here to give you status updates on performance and battery life - the better to maximize both. When you're done geeking out over that, unwind with the smartphone mirroring delivered via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®.
Buying a 2018 Honda Clarity
If you're researching green cars, you've probably seen two other Honda Clarity models mentioned. You won't find them at your Honda dealership near Scranton; they're only available on the West Coast. However, the 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid has plenty to recommend it on its own merits, so we invite you to see it at 150 MotorWorld Drive in Wilkes-Barre PA.
