Used 2020 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell Consumer Reviews

Buy the Touring model, Very roomy and comfortable seats. Rides smooth and quiet. One reviewer posted about lack of power. It only has a small 1.5 Liter engine so don't expect it to fly. Honda service and reliability. I had no major problems in 3 years of ownership. Very nice sound system, electronics . Before buying I shopped Toyota Prius, Hyundai but this car just felt more solid and roomy. I have owned many cars from Mercedes sportscar (5.5 Liter) to Ford Expedition. If you want to really save $$ on gas buy this car if you drive under 40 miles a day. I drove over 4,000 miles in 2025 and used $58 in gas. too many convenient features to mention.

This is my first hybrid so I was Leary. I generally don't like advanced features due to the possibility of expensive failures but decided to take a chance on Honda. I LOVE THIS CAR! I rarely by gas because, like most people, my normal trip is less than 50 miles. When I do travel I typically get 50 MPG with a car that is the same size as my wife's Accord that gets maybe 35 MPG. It is 6 years old and the only problem was a bad A/C condenser that Honda repaired at no cost and is guaranteed for another few years. The smooth EV torque and many simply mastered features (for someone who loves simplicity) make this my favorite of many cars I have ever owned, Things I don't like: the wipers tend to chatter and the center console is too big.

I bought one of the first Claritys in the Denver market in 2018. It was shipped directly from Japan. The car is comfortable, roomy and has all the updated tech (audio, visual and safety). I get compliments from passengers all the time. The gas mileage is superior and the electric battery capacity is enough to get you around town a few days a week!

I am very pleased with this car. In the summer here in Wisconsin I am getting @60 miles per charge. In the winter, over 40 miles per charge. With gas, @43 mpg. I seldom buy gas and have no range anxiety. The sport mode has plenty of power but usually use eco mode. The trunk has lots of space, and a roomy interior for a smaller car. I use CarPlay almost all the time for music and navigation. Rather sporty looking too. With the $7500 tax credit it was a great purchase.

great, comfortable car always charged at home, so i paid just for electricity during the price gouging going on during the last couple of years

A Clarity Plug-in Hybrid is unlike most other cars. It is really an all electric car that carries along a gasoline engine and generator to keep the battery charged. It's transmission has only one gear besides neutral and park. It gives you the best of both worlds, the all electric car world and the plane old gasoline car. It has the longest electric range of any plug-in hybrid. You can drive around town, do your shopping and errands, go to the theater and to dinner and never use even a teaspoon of gasoline. This is just like an all electric car. Yet you can also drive cross country on gasoline getting 40 to 45 miles per gallon and never have to even think about finding a charging station, just like any gasoline car. Besides all this it has many advanced systems like adaptive cruise control, lane keeping and a built in Garmin GPS.

Great EV powerful car! I regularly get 45-47 miles per charge. Additional gas tank is small so not much $ to fill up during this gas price hike. Very comfortable, safe, good navigation system and alter system.

As a car, it’s perfect. I’ve owned Hondas since 1974, over 20 different ones. My current garage has the Clarity, a 2003 S2000, and a 2007 Accord, EX-L with 270,000 miles! ALL are great cars.
