TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Honda Clarity offers three comfortable, well-equipped ways to go about your daily routine—probably without producing any tailpipe emissions.

The 2020 Toyota Prius is a good choice for commuters made even better with more smartphone connectivity this year.

TCC Likes

Excellent efficiency
Nicely appointed interior
Great ride quality

Exceptionally thrifty
Good infotainment, finally
Optional AWD

TCC Dislikes

Barely viable EV range
Expensive, unless you’re leasing
Other Hondas do the hybrid thing better

So not pretty
Inside or out
Rear-seat head room just OK
