I cannot imagine what reason Honda would have to make changes to the low-volume, 2-year old Clarity PHEV. If the company was actually trying to sell the Clarity PHEV, upgrading it might attract more buyers. However, with the kind of discounts Honda's been giving to move the Clarity PHEV's off dealer lots, it doesn't seem like there are any changes they could make that would sell more cars and make them profitable to sell at the same time.
Instead of hoping for a volume knob I'm just hoping Honda continues to build and sell the Clarity PHEV. PHEV sales are quite low around the world.
We will know the details of the 2020 in August, probably before the last week, but it sounds like it won't arrive until 2020.
Hello, Canadian backordering for 2020 Honda Clarity opened August 7, with Q1 2020 stated delivery. I placed an order for a white touring. Price increase of around $300 from last year. I'm expecting dealers will hear news of any changes in a bulletin sometime next week or the week after. It will be good to know what I'm buying!
I don't really miss the volume knob as the driver of my car.. as the passenger I could see it being a little annoying. As the driver I can adjust the volume with my thumb without taking my hands off the wheel.
