The exterior design of the Clarity will undoubtedly turn heads, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, this big five-passenger sedan will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain in Canada, which produces 181 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque. It will provide the car with a driving range estimated at 75 km, according to the EPA in the United States. After that, we can continue driving thanks to a turbocharged, 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine acting as a generator to send energy back into the 17-kWh battery pack. Charge time is estimated at 2.5 hours on a 240-volt outlet.
