Honda Puts Priority on Zero Emissions in Honda Clarity Fuel Cell Sedan

The 2017 Honda Clarity sedan has arrived, and it’s arguably the automaker’s most advanced car yet. Placing priority on zero emissions, Honda’s latest fuel cell vehicle marks a milestone in the company’s innovative fuel cell program. If you’re considering the new Clarity sedan, here are a few features to look forward to.

Fuel Cell Powertrain

The defining feature of the Honda Clarity is its state-of-the-art fuel cell powertrain. While the Clarity wasn’t designed to be a particularly fast car, its fuel cell does produce 174 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, making it a perky option for the urban commuter.

The fuel cell is paired with a lithium-ion battery located in the sedan’s floor. Additionally, two hydrogen tanks rest behind or underneath the backseat. The clear advantage to this type of setup is in the Clarity’s mileage range, which comes in at a whopping 366 miles.

Ionized Air

Besides offering remarkable technology under the sedan’s hood, the 2017 Clarity boasts interior features that are sure to wow customers. Its ionized air feature, for instance, is among its most notable aspects. A plasma cluster ionizing air filter improves air quality, destroys odors, and breaks down germs at the molecular level, providing occupants with exceptionally breathable air. You’ll wonder how you ever drove without ionized air technology.

Honda Sensing Suite

The 2017 Honda Clarity includes Honda Sensing, a technology suite offering an array of driver-assist features. Honda Sensing includes lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, road departure mitigation, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and a collision mitigation braking system.

Using enhanced radar sensors and other advanced technologies, Honda Sensing can help you avoid an accident by urging you to act. In certain cases, the system will even stop the Clarity for you, applying brake pressure automatically.

Environmentally-Responsible Interior

Honda has stated that the Clarity’s interior offers “space-age comfort,” and we have to agree. The sedan’s interior is outfitted with premium, environmentally-responsible materials throughout, making it a great all-around option for drivers concerned about their carbon footprints.

Best of all, the Clarity’s central command center is bold and convenient, offering a lounge-like experience where everything is within easy reach. The sedan seats up to five comfortably, and despite its hatchback-style exterior, offers a conventional trunk with enough room for several pieces of luggage.

Aerodynamic Body

The 2017 Clarity boasts a distinctive appearance that looks like no other car on the market. Its front end features ultrathin LED headlights that optimize airflow, while its high-strength steel construction is a testament to Honda’s quality. Honda’s choice to laser-braze the roof and side panels have improved aerodynamics and reduced cabin noise, making the sedan a pleasure to drive.

The 2017 Honda Clarity is sure to change the way we think about fuel-efficient cars in the future. Sign up today to receive reminders on the model’s release dates and additions to the lineup.
