Honda Automobiles: 2017 Honda Clarity Electric Press Kit

The Clarity Electric is geared toward drivers looking for a spacious and comfortable sedan that suits their daily driving needs. Bright, modern and sophisticated, the 5-passenger interior offers a premium feel coupled with exceptional comfort and refinement. It features an open, advanced feel with a sleek instrument panel, gray leather power seating, suede-like accents, layered black tones and eye-catching accent stitching. The interior is also outfitted with premium environmentally responsible materials and features advanced technologies, including Display Audio with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ compatibility.

Comfort/Convenience
A range of convenience features helps streamline the daily commute, including a roomy center console with a large storage compartment located under a padded center armrest. Also on the center console is a large double cupholder and an open lower storage area large enough to accommodate a smartphone or tablet. The rear seating area features convenient fold-down center armrest, likewise with two cupholders. Storage bins with bottle holders in all four doors provide added utility.

Instrumentation
A graphical LCD meter panel offers a clean presentation of useful information for the driver. The display clearly shows power consumption, regenerative braking and battery charge level. It also shows the predicted driving range with the climate control system on and off, allowing the driver to select which they prefer.

Navigation/Connectivity
The 8-inch high-definition, wide-angle electrostatic touch-panel central display is easy to see and use. The system includes standard Honda Satellite-Linked navigation and supports Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ allowing for compatible smartphones to be connected via a USB cable.

Environmentally Responsible Materials
Like other Clarity models, the Clarity Electric interior was developed to reduce carbon emissions by adopting plant-derived green materials and recycled materials. All plant-based materials are made of oils extracted from non-edible parts of plants, so as not to affect the food supply. For example, Prime Smooth® linings on the sides of the seat covers are made with bio-fibers.
