There is currently no Honda hydrogen-powered car for sale in the United States. The last hydrogen model from Honda, the Clarity Fuel Cell, was priced around $60,000 before incentives and the company ended U.S. sales of hydrogen vehicles in 2021. Hydrogen passenger cars remain a niche market with limited availability and high upfront costs.
Current status and historical price point
The following snapshot provides context on Honda’s hydrogen vehicle pricing and availability when it was offered in the U.S.
- Clarity Fuel Cell (2016–2021 in the United States): Estimated MSRP around $60,000 before any incentives or discounts.
- Lease-centric approach: In practice, many customers accessed the car via lease, with offers commonly in the upper-$300s per month for a typical term in certain markets.
- End of U.S. sales: Honda ceased new U.S. sales of the Clarity Fuel Cell and largely exited the hydrogen-vehicle market in the United States by 2021, with only limited, transitional availability for existing customers in some regions before final discontinuation.
Note: Availability, incentives, and lease terms varied by region and time period, and the program was never a broad, mass-market effort for Honda.
Current options and market context for FCVs
The following overview explains what buyers face today and how Honda fits into the broader hydrogen-vehicle landscape.
- Toyota Mirai: A comparable hydrogen fuel-cell sedan from another automaker, typically priced in the range of roughly $50,000–$60,000 before incentives, with regional incentives and lease options.
- Hyundai Nexo: A hydrogen-powered SUV available in select markets, generally priced in the high-$40,000s to low-$60,000s before incentives, depending on region and trim.
- Overall FCV pricing: Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles tend to carry higher upfront costs than many battery electric vehicles, due partly to fuel-cell stack costs and infrastructure limits for hydrogen fueling.
Because hydrogen fueling infrastructure remains limited in many areas, actual ownership costs (fuel, maintenance, and incentives) can vary significantly by location.
Future outlook for Honda hydrogen strategy
Honda’s stated direction and partnerships
Honda has continued to pursue hydrogen and fuel-cell technology, often emphasizing a role for FCVs within a broader, multi-technology mobility strategy. However, as of 2024–2026, there is no announced plan for a mass-market Honda hydrogen passenger vehicle for the U.S. or other major markets, and the company has not disclosed a timeline for new FCV models. Any future pricing would depend on production scale, partnerships, and government incentives.
Summary
In summary, Honda does not currently offer a hydrogen car for sale. The last U.S. hydrogen model, the Clarity Fuel Cell, carried an approximate price around $60,000 before incentives, and U.S. sales were wound down by 2021. The hydrogen-vehicle market remains niche, with limited availability and higher upfront costs, and Honda has not announced a renewed mass-market FCV program for the near term. Consumers interested in FCVs should look to other brands with available models (such as Toyota Mirai or Hyundai Nexo) while monitoring policy incentives and fueling infrastructure developments.
