Toyota Mirai 2 (FCB130)
Mid-Size SedanProduct Gallery
Product Overview
The 2nd-generation Toyota Mirai is constructed on Toyota's latest rear-wheel-drive modular platform, GA-L. The GA-L platform is engineered to accommodate the hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain, amongst others. The new platform enhances handling dynamics and design.
With a new 3-tank layout and fully-redesigned fuel-cell system, the 2nd-gen Mirai reaches a range of 650 km, a 30% increase over its predecessor. Updates on the fuel cell system also achieves significant reductions in the size and weight of all principal components; combined with the new RWD layout, the new Mirai achieves dramatic improvement in driving dynamics.
The new Mirai has a design echoes what many would have expected a Lexus GS would be, though the latter has been cancelled.

Reviewer score 60% (normalized by Neofiliac)The new Mirai is rear-wheel drive, and between the bonnet and the rear wheels there are three hydrogen tanks rather than a drivetrain. Between them, they hold 5.6kg of hydrogen. The Mirai weighs 1950kg, which is quite heavy, but a BEV of the same size and range would weigh more. Toyota still isn’t going to sell as many Mirais as it does Camrys.
Pros
- Bigger and better-looking than its predecessor
- Lots of room for fuel cells
Cons
- Not as quiet as its predecessor

Reviewer score 64% (normalized by Neofiliac)Toyota Mirai is more powerful, more luxurious and better equipped than the first-gen. Prices now start from £49,995 - the best part of ten grand for the performance. The ride is forgiving - even on top spec Design Premium Pack trim's 20-inch wheels. The car is neatly balanced front to rear, so it feels stable and predictable.
Pros
- Sleek design
- Powerful electric motor
- Impressive range
Cons
- Lack of charging stations
- Not the most efficient
carmagazine[3]
Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)Fuel cell stack has been shrunk from 33 to 24 litres, and resulting power climbs by half to 5.4kW/litre. Soundproofing is ace, assisted by zero moving parts in fuel cells. Light steering is effortless, steady but accurate, and the suspension softly-sprung.
Pros
- Sleek styling
- Smooth, quiet ride
- Decent fuel cell performance
Cons
- Cheap to run

Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Mirai's rear-wheel-drive architecture is shared with the larger Lexus LS. With a starting MSRP of $50,455, the new Mirai is more than $9,000 cheaper than the old model. Toyota estimates a 9.2-second 0-to-60-mph time.
Pros
- Fantastic fuel-cell power
- Sleek styling
- Smooth ride
Cons
- Expensive for what you get
