To continue their commitment to making electric vehicles account for two-thirds of global sales by 2030, Honda will introduce the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid and Clarity to their lineup.
Honda discontinued to the Accord Hybrid for the 2016 model year in order to move production from Ohio to Japan, which should allow Honda to double sales. To provide powerful efficiency, the vehicle will use Honda’s two-motor hybrid system that will provide you with 49/47 mpg city/highway* as well as 212 horsepower. It has also received some exterior updates, including blue accent headlights and taillights and hybrid badging. The Accord Hybrid will be available in three models and will be the top of the line model, available this spring. The price has not yet been announced.
The Honda Clarity Fuel Cell five-passenger sedan is perhaps Honda’s biggest innovation yet, relying on hydrogen stations in California. Right now, there are only 15, but in two months there will be 20, and by 2020, there are expected to be 100. This model will be available in the United States later this year, while the all-electric Clarity will launch next year, although the states have not yet been decided. Lastly, Honda will add the expected volume leader, the Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, which will be able to travel 40 miles** before extended range. This is expected to be available at the end of 2017. Pricing is expected to begin around $60,000.

**Anticipated range determined by Honda; production-vehicle range rating to be determined.
