An Innovative powertrain for the 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid in Bathurst, New-Brunswick
First, the 2018 Honda Clarity Hybrid combines engine technologies that are geared to offer the perfect balance between on-demand performance and efficiency. The powertrain is composed of an ultra-efficient 1.5-liter DOHC i-VTEC Atkinson-cycle in-line 4-cylinder engine coupled to a starter/generator motor; an ultra-quiet 181-horsepower AC synchronous traction motor and a 17-kilowatt hour (kWh); and a 168-cell lithium-ion battery pack.
Primarily running on its electric motor, the Clarity uses its Atkinson-cycle engine and starter/generator motor to generate electricity that can be supplied directly to the traction motor or used to recharge the 17 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, depending on the driving conditions. The powertrain also features an electric-servo brake system for regenerative braking. All of this, combined with other features, enables the 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid to attain a top class 2.1 Le/100 km combined fuel consumption.
Inside, the Clarity combines environmentally friendly materials, technology and comfort. The 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, rearview camera with dynamic guidelines, 7-inch TFT intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) within the instrument cluster, 180-watt 8-speaker audio system, 2 USB audio interface ports, push button start/stop, dual-zone climate control and 60/40 split fold down rear seat are only a few items on the standard equipment list. The Clarity offers 439 L of cargo capacity in the trunk, thanks to the IPU (with battery pack) that are both located under the floor.
