Toyota changed the automotive industry in 1997 when it introduced the first Toyota Prius hybrid. The automaker continued to push the envelope with multiple variants and other hybrid models, but it eventually charted new waters with the Mirai, North America’s first production hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. Later this year, the second generation of this revolutionary fuel-cell vehicle will emerge as the 2021 Toyota Mirai, now a sedan, with even greater efficiency, style, and technology.
Built on a rear-wheel-drive platform, the 2021 Toyota Mirai will see a 30 percent improvement in total range over the outgoing Mirai because of improvements in the actual fuel cell system and an increase in the hydrogen storage capacity.
Unlike electric vehicles, the Mirai does not need to be plugged in to store up energy. Instead, the FCEV system generates its own electricity using hydrogen and oxygen. That makes its only tailpipe emission water—a purely clean emission. It only takes five minutes to fill up the Mirai (roughly the amount of time you might spend at a gas station), and there are currently refueling stations here in California as well as Hawaii.
But there is more to like about the 2021 Mirai than just its energy source. Toyota’s redesign gives the Mirai an athletic stance, inspired by coupes, yet allows for plenty of interior space and seating for up to five passengers. Toyota debuted the new Mirai in its head-turning Hydro Blue color, which is all-new.
Inside, the Toyota Mirai boasts a contemporary, clean style, reminiscent of luxury vehicle. The Mirai uses simple lines, premium materials, and advanced technologies for its interior.
“We have pursued making a car that customers feel like driving all the time, a car that has emotional and attractive design appeal, as well as dynamic and responsive driving performance that can bring a smile to the faces of drivers,” explaind Yoshikazu Tanaka, Chief Engineer of the Mirai. “I want customers to say, ‘I chose the Mirai not because it’s an FCEV, but because I really wanted this car, and it just happened to be an FCEV.’”
The 2021 Toyota Mirai will be available in California later this year. Visit Wondries Toyota to discuss how you can get your hands on one.
