Toyota Mirai 2 (FCB130) Sedan (2020)
Product 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%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
autocar[2]
Reviewer score 68%The new Toyota Mirai has been comprehensively overhauled. Fuel cell stack is smaller and lighter with 330 cells, down from 370. Output has increased from 153bhp to 180bhp, and drive is now sent to the rear, rather than front, wheels. A third high-pressure hydrogen tank has been added, with the combined storage of 5.6kg of liquefied hydrogen enough to offer a range of around 400 miles.

Pros
- Bigger and lighter than the original
- Improved fuel cell stack
Cons
- Cheap to run in the UK
- Lack of charging infrastructure

Reviewer score 64%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.

Cons

- Not the most efficient
carmagazine[4]
Reviewer score 70%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.

Cons
