Honda Motor Co. says its 2017 fuel-cell-powered Clarity sedan has a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rating of 68 mpg and a driving range of 366 miles. The latter is an industry best for any fuel cell or pure electric vehicle in the U.S., according to the carmaker.
The 2017 Clarity’s fuel cell stack is 33% more compact with a 60% increase in power density than the outgoing Honda FCX Clarity, which Honda has leased in limited volumes since 2008. That vehicle had a driving range of 240 miles.
Honda says the new model’s integrated fuel cell stack and batteries fits entirely under the hood of the car, providing a more spacious cabin with seating for five people. The vehicle’s hydrogen tank can be refueled in less than five minutes.
Honda will introduce the 2017 Clarity later this year at 12 dealerships in California.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
