A speedometer is placed above the cockpit display to make it easy for the driver to keep eyes on the road.

A separate display shows the battery power level and another shows motor output. The display in the dashboard includes a dot that changes color and size as hydrogen consumption grows, to make it easier for the driver to monitor their driving efficiency. The FCX Clarity is about 4 inches (100 mm) shorter than a 2008 Honda Accord. The vehicle is estimated to get about 77 miles (124 km) per kilogram of hydrogen in the city, 67 miles (108 km) per kilogram highway and 72 miles (116 km) per kilogram in combined driving.

The range on a full hydrogen tank (4.1 kg at 5000 psi) is EPA certified at 240 miles (386 km). The electric motor is based on the motor used in the EV Plus, rated at 134 horsepower (100 kW) and 189 lb⋅ft (256 N⋅m) torque at 0–3056 rpm. In common with many electric vehicles, the car has regenerative braking and uses a separate battery to store energy recovered during braking. The FCX Clarity electrical power comes from a 100 kW Honda Vertical Flow (V Flow) hydrogen fuel cell stack whereby electricity is supplied on demand. From 2008 to 2015, Honda leased a total of 48 FCX units in the US. In 2014 Honda announced to phase out the FCX Clarity. One of the reasons for such a low number of cars in the U.S. There were around 10 others on lease in Japan and another 10 in Europe in 2009. FCX Clarity were leased for US$600 a month in 2010, including collision coverage, maintenance, roadside assistance and hydrogen fuel. In the U.S., it was only available to customers who live in Southern California where several hydrogen fuel stations are available. The FCX Clarity was available for lease in the U.S., Japan and Europe. It was introduced in Japan in November 2008. Production began in June 2008 with leasing in the U.S. It was the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle available to retail customers. The FCX Clarity had electric car qualities such as zero emissions while offering five minute refueling times and long range in a full function large sedan. The Honda FCX Clarity is based on the 2006 Honda FCX Concept and only available as a hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle.
