Used 2021 Toyota Mirai Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Toyota Mirai is a rear-wheel-drive midsize sedan sold in two trim levels: XLE and Limited. It is one of the few hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles on the market. Hydrogen is stored in three onboard carbon fiber-reinforced tanks that can hold a combined 5.6 kg of the gas. The hydrogen is then converted to electricity via a fuel cell, stored in a small battery and run through an electric motor making 182 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. With its tanks full, the EPA estimates the XLE can go about 402 miles before you refuel, while the Limited can travel up to 357 miles.

XLE
Feature highlights include:

  • 19-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Heated and power-folding mirrors
  • Keyless entry and start
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Eight-way power driver's seat and four-way power passenger seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Imitation leather upholstery
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen
  • Navigation system
  • 14-speaker JBL audio system
  • Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa connectivity
  • Wi-Fi hotspot

Every Mirai comes with a suite of advanced safety features (Toyota's Safety System 2.5+). These include:

  • Forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Toyota and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)

The optional Advanced Technology package adds:

  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind or in front of the vehicle when parking)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Mirai and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Limited
Builds on top of XLE features with:

  • Advanced Technology package
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Automatic wipers
  • Power-adjustable steering wheel
  • Three-zone automatic climate control
  • Digital rearview mirror
  • Eight-way power passenger seat
  • Heated and ventilated front and rear seats
  • Rear touchscreen control panel
  • Ambient lighting
  • Rear sunshades
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)

The sole option for the Mirai Limited is a set of 20-inch wheels.

Which Mirai trim does Edmunds recommend?

This year sees the addition of the more budget-friendly XLE, which is a great choice for those looking for a more attainable hydrogen vehicle. However, hydrogen itself is pricey, making any Mirai an expensive proposition. With the significant cash outlay in mind, we think it makes sense for buyers to go for the Limited trim. If you have the ability to trade up, its additional safety features — plus unusual items such as ventilated rear seats and a rear control panel — are worth the upgrade.
