本田近日在纽约车展发布了Clarity纯电版和PHEV版车型，加上此前发布的Clarity Fuel Cell燃料电池版，由此构成了Clarity家族的三款车型。其中PHEV插电版搭载一台低油耗1.5升阿特金森循环引擎，为车辆供电，在某些条件下可以直接驱动车轮。该车搭载的电机功率181马力，扭矩232磅-英尺（约合315牛米）。本田预计在纯电动模式下该车续航里程42英里（约合67.6公里），综合油耗105 MPGe。该车搭载的17千瓦时电池如果采用240伏电源，完全充满电耗时2.5小时。而Clarity纯电动版仅搭载单台电机，功率161马力，扭矩221磅-英尺（约合300牛米），预计该车油耗为111 MPGe。该车搭载的25.5千瓦时电池，单次充电续航里程80英里（约合128公里），与菲亚特500e差不多，比日产聆风和大众e-Golf都短。

 

Honda Clarity PHEV Debuts In New York With 42 Miles Of Electric Range

Honda has revealed the Clarity Electric and Clarity Plug-in Hybrid at the New York International Auto Show, completing the '3-in-1' family alongside the Clarity Fuel Cell.

 

The PHEV is equipped with a fuel-sipping 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle engine to generate electricity and, in certain conditions, directly power the wheels. Its electric motor can deliver 181 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque.

 

Honda expects the hybrid to earn an all-electric range rating of 42 miles, claimed to be the longest of any midsize plug-in, while overall efficiency is estimated to be 105 MPGe. A 17 kilowatt-hour battery pack can be recharged in just 2.5 hours when connected to a high-output 240-volt supply.

 

The Clarity Electric is solely powered by a single electric motor that delivers 161 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. It is expected to have an EPA combined fuel economy rating of 111 MPGe.

 

Notably, the Clarity Electric's 25.5 kilowatt-hour pack is not much bigger than that of the plug-in hybrid. The spec appears to corroborate unconfirmed reports pointing to a modest range of just 80 miles on a single charge, roughly on par with the Fiat 500e. The figure falls short of the Nissan Leaf and Volkswagen e-Golf, and represents less than half the cruising distance offered by the Chevrolet Bolt.
