2019 Clarity Electric Interior
The Honda Clarity Electric shares a cabin design with the other two members of the Clarity family. That means a consistently high-quality interior with well-fitted panels, no rattles or squeaks, and a layout that makes sense ergonomically. The standard heated front seats are power adjustable and are easy to maneuver into a comfortable seating position with exceptional visibility. The front seats are comfortable and the cabin spacious, and while the rear seating area is also capacious, the short seat base reduces comfort due to the lack of thigh support for taller occupants. Overall, the cabin is spacious and comfortable, and the rear bench houses two full sets of LATCH anchors.

Seating and Interior Space
The Honda Clarity Electric seats five, though occupants will be most comfortable with only four inside. The front seats are power adjustable and offer standard heating, and provide high levels of comfort, even if the seating position is perhaps just a touch too high. Visibility is, however, impressive thanks to the low shoulder line and well-positioned roof pillars, while a standard rearview camera aids rear visibility. The rear seats offer a good amount of headroom and legroom, with only adults taller than six-feet tall risking a brush with the headlining. Shoulder room is spacious too, but the short seat bases don't provide enough thigh support for taller occupants.

Interior Colors and Materials
The Clarity Electric is offered with seating upholstered in perforated leather but does allow lessees the opportunity of choosing a color based on the exterior paint scheme. Vortex Blue and Modern Steel exterior hues are paired exclusively with gray leather, while the Platinum White exterior color adds the choice of black leather to the mix. Regardless of the leather choice, a dark open-pore wood-look dash is standard with chrome detailing throughout. A leather-clad steering wheel is also standard in black leather.
2019 Clarity Electric Trunk and Cargo Space
The Clarity Electric is the more capacious of the Clarity range, devoid of hydrogen tanks and thus being able to expand on cargo volume by means of 60/40 split folding rear seats. The available 14.3 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk is in a shallow configuration and is below the capacity offered by other EVS that either make use of a traditional hatchback or sportback configurations to maximize cargo volume. The Ioniq Electric, for example, offers 26.5 cubic feet while the Nissan Leaf offers 23.6 cubic feet.
There's an abundance of in-cabin storage options, however, with a good size console binnacle, large cupholders in the center console, cupholders in the rear center armrest, large door pockets, a good size glove box, storage under the floating center console, and smartphone pouches in the rear of the cabin.

2019 Clarity Electric Infotainment and Features
Features
Among the features equipped to the Clarity Electric as standard, buyers can expect a rearview camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, HomeLink universal remote system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, auto-up/down power windows, adaptive cruise control, front and rear 12-volt sockets, sliding sun visors, dedicated smartphone pockets on the backs of the front seats, eight-way power adjustment for the driver's seat with dual-memory function, four-way power adjustment on the front passenger seat, heated front seats, and satellite navigation with voice recognition and charging station locator.
Infotainment
Standard infotainment is by means of an eight-inch touchscreen display with AM/FM/Bluetooth/SiriusXM/HD radio inputs and an eight-speaker, 180-watt premium audio system. The system also offers Pandora compatibility, along with full Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality, and comes with two USB ports on the front console. The system offers voice controls which work fluently and allows you to avoid using the touchscreen, which is just as well, as it's a frustrating system to use. The touch zones are too small, basic functions are hard to use while on the move, and the system is slow with dated graphics. Importantly, there's no volume knob - something Honda has rectified on other models but not the Clarity.
