5 reasons to buy the 2021 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell
1. Try out new technology
If you're a gearhead who follows historical automobile trends, the 2021 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell is intriguing. Hydrogen converts to electricity via the fuel cell to power a 174-hp electric motor. This variation from other gasoline/electric hybrids and fully electric-powered vehicles could make a great addition to an enthusiast's eclectic garage. Or, if you live in a city that fully supports hydrogen fuel technology, and you don't plan to travel to rural areas away from home, this is a fun vehicle to own.
2. Well-appointed cabin
Honda didn't skimp on standard features when they outfitted the single 2021 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell trim. You'll enjoy heated/power-adjustable front seats, keyless entry with push-button start, a 12-speaker sound system with a subwoofer, a navigation system, an eight-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity. All this tech makes it simple to stream a podcast from your cellphone or play your favorite music playlist on your morning commute.
3. Handy driver-assistance features
The technology bonuses in the 2021 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell continue. For those who are new to driving or who need a little reassurance behind the wheel (especially when navigating narrow roads), the lane-keeping assist is valuable. It warns you if you're drifting out of your lane and can help steer you back. This vehicle also offers a collision warning system to help avoid front impact situations, and adaptive cruise control helps to maintain a proper distance between you and the car in front of you.
4. There's trunk space
If you're wondering if there's any usable trunk space in this four-door EV, the answer is yes! You can easily store bags, boxes, or sports gear that's roughly the size of common airline overhead compartment-approved luggage in the 11.8 cu-ft of trunk space. Sure, it's not huge, but you also have a back seat to haul things when the 2021 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell isn't filled with passengers.
5. Easy to drive
Thanks to the electric power, the 2021 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell is quick to accelerate, making drivers feel powerful as they pull away from stoplights. The steering, braking, and overall handling are accurately responsive. If you have a teen driver in the home who's just getting the feel of being behind the wheel, this car should make learning easy.
