TOYOTA MIRAI REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Toyota Mirai Fuel Cell vehicle presents a compelling, albeit geographically limited, proposition. The reviewer praises its modern styling, significantly improved over the previous generation, and its sophisticated interior featuring attractive leather seats and a large infotainment screen. Driving dynamics are highlighted as a strong point, with the reviewer enjoying the instantaneous torque, maneuverability, and quiet ride, noting a real-world MPGe of approximately 48. A key advantage over traditional EVs is the rapid refueling time, comparable to gasoline cars, and an impressive range of 402 miles. However, the reviewer expresses significant frustration due to the lack of widespread hydrogen fueling infrastructure, making the vehicle practically inaccessible outside of California. Minor criticisms include a finicky wireless charging pad and the infotainment system's inability to display full-screen. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer concludes that the Mirai is an amazing vehicle that she wishes she could own, urging for the expansion of hydrogen infrastructure.
