The Honda Clarity is the most recent incarnation of Honda's environmental vision. In Canada, only the plug-in hybrid version is available, propelled by an electric motor (181 horsepower and 232 lb.-ft. of torque) and a 1.5-litre four cylinder for a combined 212 horsepower. The range in electric mode is estimated at 77 kilometres. Hydrogen and all-electric versions are sold in other markets.
