I have been considering a Honda Fit for the past five six years. I could never get comfortable in one. I am so glad they came out with the Kia Niro it's so much nicer than the fit and with super gas mileage
Just saw the Honda Clarity TV ad and paused it to see this claim: "47-mile maximum EV mode driving range. 340 mile combined gas-electric driving range rating. Ratings determined by EPA for comparison purposes only"....etc, etc.Honda doesn't even have there Hybrid ad campaigns focused correctly. For the Clarity TV ad it is vague about being a PHEV and after it points out the Hybrid option it only claims 340 miles range. I think they're trying to say it can do that on battery only but it's not clear at all and that's crap range for a Hybrid like our Niros...I'm getting 500+ miles per tank. They're a company that has lost its way, much like Ford these days.
7.0 according to Honda’s website.Again this is really mediocre range. I don't get this at all. Does it only have an 8 gallon tank?
The only advantage I see in a quick spec look is the Clarity engine looks much stronger. And some people like sedans. I think they’re trying to soothe range anxiety, but that’s really an EV issue not a PHEV one.
Seems more to me like they're competing with the midsize sedan hybrids...size-wise it's closer to the Camry and Optima. Which still makes me scratch my head, because don't they also have an Accord hybrid? And yeah, it's still short range for a midsize hybrid.7.0 according to Honda’s website.

Yes but not a plug in. Honda is using clarity as their platform for “advanced tech” - PHEV, EV, and Fuel Cell.Seems more to me like they're competing with the midsize sedan hybrids...size-wise it's closer to the Camry and Optima.
