Honda
Honda is discounting the pure-electric version of its lease-only Clarity,Autoblog reports. It appears that Honda will continue to produce the plug-in hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell Clarity models,at least in 2020.
This isn't totally surprising,as the Clarity EV had a pretty limited range. It only traveled about 89 miles on a charge. At the time of its debut,it seemed that Honda was betting on luxury over distance. But many other EVs offer both,and it looks like that bet didn't work out.
It is a bit more surprising that Honda will keep the hydrogen fuel cell model. Even though that version has been around the longest -- it arrived in California in 2016 -- refueling infrastructure is still limited,so it's still an early adopter car and requires that owners live close enough to fueling stations. The 2020 model will lease for $379 per month (for 36 months).
If you're not ready for a hydrogen vehicle,the 2020 Clarity plug-in hybrid starts at $33,400 and has a combined range of 340 miles. When we reviewed the hybrid model,we found that it offered a comfortable interior and ride and was a viable contender in the hybrid space.
