Review and specifications
2023 Toyota Mirai
Redesigned for 2021, the Mirai fuel-cell vehicle became a larger, more powerful, and more luxurious five-passenger car that is based on a rear-wheel-drive Lexus platform. It's essentially an electric car that produces its power onboard without needing to be plugged in. It takes a few minutes to fill the Mirai's tanks with hydrogen, as opposed to hours of charging a typical electric car, but hydrogen stations are very scarce. The EPA's estimated range is 402-miles. The second-generation Mirai adds several safety and tech features. Its starting price is $49,500, about $9,000 less than the outgoing model. Buyers, or those who opt to lease, get $15,000 of complementary hydrogen fill-ups for three years. The Mirai was originally only offered for sale in California only.

Brand context
About Toyota
<p>Toyota has a reputation for building efficient and exceptionally reliable vehicles. This holds true in most cases, with a few exceptions. Most of their models do well in our testing, thanks to their impressive fuel economy, comfortable rides, quiet cabins, good controls, and generous standard safety equipment. All of this makes Toyotas among the best options for used vehicles. The brand was a hybrid pioneer, starting with the original Prius. Toyota has evolved and expanded that technology, and most vehicles in its lineup are available as a hybrid. Toyota sells a number of plug-in hybrids and an increasing number of EVs, including the bZ and C-HR. The company also knows how to add a dosage of excitement into its lineup: The GR86, GR Corolla, and Supra are legit, fun-to-drive sports cars.</p>
