- I made the right decision buying the 2018 Honda Clairty instead of waitting for the Tesla Model 3 Standard. This is one of the most practical PHEV for city commuting and long-distance travel in my opinion.
10:50 Honda Sensing for Stop n Go Traffic
21:05 Honda Sensing & Semi Auto Driving for Hwy Traffic
Pros:
Excellent handling and driving dynamic for a 4000lb PHEV
Great low end torque (beats most gasoline cars at take off)
Huge interior space for a PHEV, large trunk space. See my video of how I fitted two road bike in the car and trunk here:
• How To Fit 2 Bicycles ...
Very quiet cabin interior
Excellent Pure EV range (50 miles in warm areas)
Excellent Hybrid Gas mileage (45+ mpg hwy speed)
Fast charging speed w/Level 2 charger (less than 5 hr full)
Awesome for stop n go traffic (with Honda Sensing and Break Hold)
Awesome for long distance travel (with Honda Sensing and Lane Keeping Assist)
Decent audio (better than Accord)
Cons:
Outdated last generation entertainment system
Gasoline engine is very noisy when kicks in, most noisy in HV Charge mode
Reduced trunk pass-thru space because of elevated battery pack in the trunk
No hitch option without modification to the body panels
Slow charging speed using Level 1 charger (12hr from empty to full)
Center console (Gear switches) could be better designed to increase useable space
