Just wondering if anyone knows where the Clarity is manufactured. It doesn't really matter to much to me but I do like to buy Honda's assembled in Japan because I feel like I support the brand more that way. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
I just grabbed a VIN off a dealer website and ran it thru a VIN decoder (https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/Decoder) Comes back with Plant Information: Sayama, Saitama, Japan The first letter of the VIN is the country, the plant is the last letter before the 6 digit sequence number at the end. First letter Values 1,4,5 United States 2 Canada 3 Mexico J Japan K Korea S UK V France, Spain T Switzerland W Germany Y Sweden/Finland Z Italy I believe this is the only Honda model imported to North America. Probably not high enough volume yet to justify multiple production plants.
MarkClarity, thank you for that valuable link. I wish we could make posts like yours a “stickie”” as in other forums.
Another reference point: http://hondanews.com/releases/2018-honda-clarity-plug-in-hybrid-press-kit "The Clarity Plug-In Hybrid is manufactured in Honda's Saitama factory in the Sayama prefecture, Japan."
