The plug-in hybrid Honda Clarity is a sharp-looking sedan, with amazing fuel economy.
While the body style of the Honda Clarity has been known to be polarizing, either you love it or you hate it, I like the lines of it, and you can tell immediately when you see it on the road that it’s not every other Accord on the road. It is set apart with it’s unique styling.

What We Loved About the Honda Clarity
Saving money on gas is a huge plus in the LOVE column for me. I love having the convenience of an extended range gas motor, with the fuel economy of 47 miles of electric power. I was able to plug-in the Clarity in my garage every night and not spend a dime on gas over a full week of driving.
It’s a sedan, so I love the ease of parking and maneuvering through traffic. The outward visibility is fairly standard for a sedan.
