CRASH
DATANot crash-tested
The Honda Clarity Electric is a compact sedan that Honda offered in limited markets as part of its broader Clarity alternative-fuel lineup. Aimed at environmentally conscious commuters in states like California, it competes in the growing battery-electric vehicle segment. With a lease-only sales model and constrained availability, the Clarity Electric was never a mass-market product, making its safety profile a niche but still important consideration for current used-market shoppers.
The 2019 Honda Clarity Electric has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 1 recall and 3 owner complaints on file, giving it a light recall and complaint burden.

Reviewers generally regard the Clarity Electric as a refined, composed commuter sedan with a comfortable cabin and smooth, quiet driving character typical of battery-electric powertrains. Most commentary focuses on its limited range and restricted availability rather than its merits as a mainstream choice. The interior materials and ride quality tend to draw praise, though its narrow lease-only footprint limits how broadly it has been evaluated.
