Toyota Mirai (JPD10) Sedan (2014-2020)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Toyota Mirai (code JPD10) is the world's first commercially-available hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle in sedan form in production from 2014 to 2020. It has a small 1.6kWh Nickel-metal hydride battery and a small 113kW electric motor powered by electricity generated by the fuel cell.
Design-wise, many consider the Mirai a failure. Indeed, Toyota might have been better off if the first fuel cell vehicle were an exciting roadster, for which range was not an issue: While the Mirai had excellent range, there simply weren't many hydrogen fuel stations to recharge it, which made it rather impractical.
Toyota has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it.

Reviewer score 45%The Mirai mixes traditional saloon looks with a dash of futuristic styling. It's the most luxurious car Toyota builds that doesn't have a Lexus badge. There are only four seats, but that means the rear seats are nearly as comfortable as the front ones. The only real letdown inside the car is the fiddly infotainment system.

Reviewer score 50%Once you get over the unconventional looks the Mirai is basically just a regular car. Albeit one that is particularly refined, and blessed with noticeably more comfortable than average seats. The drivetrain layout is similar to a hybrid, or better yet a range extender, since the front wheels are permanently driven by an electric motor. The only emission is water vapour – some of which is recycled to humidify the process.
