The 2024 Toyota Mirai is one of a handful of fuel cell electric vehicles on the market today. The Mirai sports a luxuriously smooth ride, pleasantly trimmed cabin and solid build quality, and it's surprisingly composed to drive through corners thanks to its rear-wheel-drive architecture and excellent weight balance. But passenger and cargo space is limited and the Mirai is a bit pricier than its competition. Other downsides to fuel cell vehicles in general: They are only available in a couple of states, and the lack of fueling infrastructure in those states further limits their appeal.Read full review

Overview
The Mirai, though it's powered by electricity, isn't a traditional EV. Its hydrogen fuel cell relies on the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, which it stores in a battery and uses to power an electric motor. The result is a car that drives like most EVs and emits only water. But it requires hydrogen to operate.
Edmunds spotlight: The infrastructure just isn't there
Toyota only sells the Mirai in California, arguably the most green-oriented state in the country. But driving a Mirai even here is problematic. You need to refuel at a hydrogen refueling station and there just aren't many of them. In fact, there are even fewer than in years past because some operators have closed their stations. This reality significantly limits the Mirai's appeal and usability. But if you still want one, know that Mirai offers up to 402 miles of EPA-estimated range and is one of only a few fuel cell vehicles sold in America today. The bottom line is that this is a rare and unique machine made for owners with rare and unique preferences.
Competitors to consider
Hyundai's Nexo SUV offers up to 380 miles of range from its hydrogen fuel cell powertrain. It's about the size of a Hyundai Tucson SUV and offers most of the benefits of an SUV, like a higher driving position and better visibility than most sedans. Its starting price is considerably higher than the Mirai's, however. There's also the upcoming lease-only Honda CR-V e:FCEV, which should be available later this year according to Honda. Truth is, most any EV with home charging capability will be more practical and convenient than the Mirai.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
7.5/10
How does the Mirai drive? Hydrogen fuel cell cars are comparatively mild when you measure them against their battery electric vehicle counterparts. The Toyota Mirai leads the fuel cell field in acceleration, needing only 8.1 seconds to reach 60 mph, but that's unremarkable by gasoline-propelled vehicle standards, and laughable by EV standards.
While the Mirai's braking performance (120 feet from 60 mph) and steering feedback are also most unremarkable, it displays surprisingly good composure turning a corner thanks to its rear-wheel-drive layout and near 50:50 weight distribution. We wouldn't call it sporty, but the Mirai moves with a surprising amount of grace for such a heavy vehicle. And because it's an EV, there's no transmission, which means smooth, shiftless acceleration. We do wish it had stronger regenerative braking and that we could permanently select the stronger setting and not have it reset after each stop.

Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the Mirai? The Mirai's best quality, by far, is its ride comfort. Underneath, the Mirai is based on the full-size Lexus LS, and though its proportions have been shortened quite a bit, it rides like a full-size Lexus. Bumps of mostly any size don't seem to faze the Mirai, and we're not quite sure how Toyota pulled that off. Couple this with a quiet cabin, as long as you don't have the synthesized Active Sound Control effects turned on, and the Mirai feels convincingly luxury-esque.
The seats, unfortunately, aren't quite as impressive. We like the soft cushioning, but the front seats in particular lack support and enough adjustments and don't seem designed to accommodate taller folks either. Our Limited trim featured heated and ventilated seats, which were relatively weak in both heating and cooling. Thankfully, the climate system is more effective (as long as it isn't in Eco mode) and is easy to use thanks to its redundant touchscreen and physical controls.

Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? The Mirai's size is deceiving. It's longer and wider than a Lexus midsize sedan but doesn't have as much interior passenger space, especially in the rear. It is an improvement over the previous-generation Mirai but not by huge margins. Despite the smaller-than-expected accommodations, the Mirai is pretty easy to get in and out of thanks to generous door clearances. And Toyota really put special effort into making the cabin easy to see out of even if you don't spring for the Limited trim, which comes with a 360-degree bird's-eye view camera system.
The layout of all the controls and the menus within the infotainment system require some time to become familiar with. Once you're comfortable, the large configurable screen is pretty good at multitasking.

Technology
7.5/10
How’s the tech? There is a lot of "tech" happening behind the scenes and making the Mirai move when you press the accelerator, but that's not what we're talking about here. Powertrain aside, the Mirai shares a lot of its interior tech with the rest of the Toyota line. The native navigation system is easy to use, but it's nothing special.
The Mirai comes with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, a total of four USB charge ports (only one of which transmits data), and a wireless charging pad. The Mirai's large 12.3-inch touchscreen is never fully dedicated to smartphone projection, which, in the case of CarPlay, means the standard two rows of four icons.
We're fans of the adaptive cruise control and lane centering in the Mirai and found it useful in traffic. Without cruise control on, the lane keeping aid can feel a bit intrusive. The blind-spot warning system was also a bit too sensitive in its detection of vehicles while you're trying to change lanes.

Storage
5.5/10
How’s the storage? If you're someone with a lot of baggage, literally speaking, or appreciate having lots of cabin storage for personal items, the Mirai is going to disappoint. The trunk holds just 9.6 cubic feet of stuff, and the Mirai doesn't have a pass-through or folding rear seatbacks to accommodate longer items. And forget about a front trunk — there's a lot of fuel cell hardware under that hood. The bad news continues into the cabin where storage is scarce and pockets are small. Hydrogen tanks require a lot of space, which means there's less of it for passengers and stuff.
Car seats are not impossible to install, but if convenience is a priority, the Mirai likely won't be a good fit. Installing a car seat in the outboard position compromises the comfort of anyone sitting in front, while having it in the middle makes loading and unloading your tiny passengers a strain on your back. Best to test your seat out before signing any paperwork.

Best to test your seat out before signing any paperwork.
Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Mirai is estimated to return 357 miles in Limited trim (64 miles per kg of hydrogen) and up to 402 miles for the entry XLE trim (72 miles/kg). That's more efficient than the Hyundai Nexo. But the range figures seem a bit optimistic as we didn't surpass 300 miles for a tank in our regular driving during our time with our Limited test car. Hydrogen is expensive, too, and its price can fluctuate wildly. We paid $17 per kg of hydrogen, with a full tank costing nearly $90 at the time of testing. If we compare the cost of a tank of hydrogen to the current cost of a gallon of premium fuel ($5.85) and assume 300 miles of range for each vehicle, our Mirai returned about 19.5 mpg. While this isn't terrible, especially with the initial hydrogen fuel subsidy, it's definitely not nearly as cost-efficient or convenient as the least efficient battery electric vehicle.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Mirai a good value? A hydrogen fuel cell vehicle like the Mirai can be an excellent value for the right person. The Mirai comes with a generous fuel stipend, and the incentives and tax credits can significantly lower the cost of leasing or owning one. But the Mirai's limited availability and the even more limited hydrogen fuel infrastructure make for a pretty unrealistic proposition for most. However, if the stars align and a Mirai is something you're considering, things could play out nicely. Warranty coverage is pretty standard, buy Toyota includes three years/35,000 miles of free maintenance and 21 days of complimentary car rentals over three years in case you need to drive somewhere where hydrogen isn't readily available (which is most places).
Wildcard
7/10
While we commend the Mirai for its surprising composure on curvy roads, it's not a vehicle we'd drive for the sake of driving. Comfortable? Indeed. Fun to drive? Not really.
On the upside, the Mirai's styling is far less polarizing than the previous version. It's not quite attractive but it's interesting. Still, despite its amazing ride quality, we don't think there's enough intrigue here worth the hassle of putting up with a lack of hydrogen infrastructure versus charging your EV in the comfort of your own home.

Which Mirai does Edmunds recommend?
The base XLE Mirai comes with plenty of options including heated seats, navigation, and wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. It also has a longer estimated range than the Limited trim. We think the XLE is best for most buyers.

Toyota Mirai saved my life
5 out of 5 starsPatrick Bodun, 03/21/2022
2021 Toyota Mirai XLE 4dr Sedan (electric (fuel cell) CVT)
I had a terrible accident on 3/11/2022 with my 2021 Toyota Mirai. The other car ran red light and at high speed (much above 50 miles) came right for my driver side door, hitting my car so hard and pushing me to the passenger side. My car was totaled, while the other car caught fire on the spot (on impact). I was dragged out of my Mirai, with moderate wounds. Would have been worse if the … car wasn't strongly built to absorb such impact. Thank you Toyota Mirai for your protection and saving my life.
Honest opinion, purchased 03/2021

2021 Toyota Mirai XLE 4dr Sedan (electric (fuel cell) CVT)
Toyota has GREAT deals on it now!
Pros:
Got 20k taken off list price
$15,000 gas card for total of 6 years
8k federal rebate, 4.5k state rebate
0% interest for 6 years
I bought the XLE with advanced package for 52.5k, the limited isn't worth the extra 20k imo.. after all the rebates and perks im guessing im going to be paying 12.5k for the car itself!
Rides super smooth, great safety … features, and the cruise control will drive the car for you on the freeway (even in heavy traffic!)
Love the interface, and birds eye camera as well as a camera in both the front and rear!
JBL speakers are amazing, seats are too! I love it..
What i don't love is the 402 miles they claim you can drive, i read thats only true if you drive 30mph (LA traffic), its more like 310 mile range on a full tank..
Takes about 95$-100$ to fill up a tank (5.6 capacity), expecting the 15k card to last 50k miles before I have to start paying for hydrogen myself..
Hydrogen is hard to find sometimes so if you find a h70 station use it (never know when supply chains may dry up)
Besides that I love the car, expecting hydro to be same price as gas in 4 to 5 years or im f'd lol 😆
Future!

2021 Toyota Mirai XLE 4dr Sedan (electric (fuel cell) CVT)
A colleague leased a 2021 Mirai Limited and sang its praises. I started researching and test drove one. Nice! I determined that purchasing the XLE would make sense for me if Toyota upped the incentive to $20K.
Right after Labor Day, the incentive bumped from $15K to $20K, so I made a few phone calls. Glided home that evening in a gleaming Oxygen White XLE. I fell in love with its … beauty, smooth radar cruise, silent operation, great handling, and driver comfort. I sold my gasoline-powered sedan for a nice price after a month of driving the Mirai.
Update after 3 years of ownership: still happy with the car, but irritated with the lack of hydrogen infrastructure. It is true that “half full is the new empty.” Apps help. My average city/highway mileage (driving like a spirited grandma) is 68 mpgE, which is 68 miles per kg of free hydrogen. This works out to 340 miles on 5.0 kg of H2 (the tanks hold 5.6 kg). However, H2 has gotten pricey due to supply chain issues, now running $28-36 per kilo. The $15K free fuel card will stretch about half as far as originally planned. Finding hydrogen is an increasing problem--one wonders if the powers that be are intentionally sabotaging H2 infrastructure.
The Mirai is sharp-looking and a joy to drive. On the freeway with radar cruise engaged, it handles crazy California traffic like a champ. Yes, the back seat and trunk are a bit tight. For a daily driver, not that relevant.
In my opinion, on a level playing field, H2 fuel cell EVs would soon replace the transitional technology of battery EVs. There is not enough lithium in the world, nor enough grid capacity, to power every car. Mirai in Japanese means “future” - and hydrogen should be!
Stunning and Luxurious

2021 Toyota Mirai Limited 4dr Sedan (electric (fuel cell) CVT)
Bought this car over a month ago and have no regrets. I've been looking for an electric car after having a plugin for three years, but I didn't want to wait 4 - 10 weeks for the ones I wanted (Tesla/MachE) to be built. I wanted to take advantage of all the savings and rebates that are offered on EV cars and CA offers better rebates on fuel cell vehicles. Here's my opinion on my … experience with the Mirai so far.
The car is surprisingly faster than the quoted 0-60 times of 9 seconds, and it actually closer to 7 1/2 seconds, which is plenty fast enough, not Tesla-like, but comparable to other larger gas vehicles. The range is a little misleading, I have the limited with a stated range of 357 and after the first fil up it showed 250. Over the last few fill up that has increased to about 320, still not 357 but inching closer. The filling is fast compared to charging, but filling pumps/nozzles are different at each location, so far there have been three different types of nozzles. Back seats are usable, just don't plan on using the middle seat for anyone older than 6 and no one taller than 6 feet. The limited has some nice features, especially the color heads-up display and center A/C and audio controls for back seat occupants. As of this writing, I'm averaging about 60 mpge for the first 1450 miles.
The Mirai has a smooth and luxurious ride and should be called a Lexus rather than a Toyota. Once the Infrastructure has developed, I can see hydrogen cars making up about 10-15% of car sales and an alternative to Electric vehicles. As for fueling, I have not been stranded nor in danger of running out of fuel. I drive the car like any other car not really having to worry about fuel for about a week. Once I get to about 75 miles I pay attention to my nearest station to check on the status, most are open 24/7 and they are constantly getting refueled. The best time to fuel up is early mornings or late nights.
Lastly, Toyota gives you 21 days of free rental in case you need to travel outside of CA, plus free maintenance for the first three years or 35,000 miles.
