The 2022 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.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Cameron Rogers

3/10/2022

Shoppers looking to go green for their next car purchase will typically consider one of three types of vehicles: a hybrid (which only uses gasoline as a fuel source), a fully electric vehicle (which only uses electricity) or a plug-in hybrid (which can be powered by electricity and gasoline). But there's a fourth type out there that actually runs on hydrogen — storing it as a gas inside of high-pressure tanks and using it to generate power for an onboard electric motor. The only emissions coming out of the tailpipe? Water. The 2022 Toyota Mirai is one of only two publicly available vehicles on the market that uses hydrogen as a fuel source.

On its own, the Mirai is a fairly impressive midsize sedan; our driving impressions can be found below, in our Edmunds Expert Rating. But there's no doubt that the Mirai represents a commitment not necessarily reflected in its asking price. For one, hydrogen fueling stations are few and far between — the limited number of such stations helps explain why the Mirai is only sold in California and on the Hawaiian isle of Oahu. The tall powertrain tunnel also makes the rear middle seat virtually unusable for anyone not in a car seat.

The cost of hydrogen itself is something to be aware of, but you won't have to worry about it for a while. According to the California Fuel Cell Partnership, hydrogen costs roughly $16.51 per kilogram. Given the Mirai's 5.4-kg capacity, it costs roughly $90 to fill up the Mirai and go 357 miles if you have the Limited. This seems like a lot, especially as it would cost a lot less for an EV to go the same distance. However, Toyota includes a hydrogen credit with the purchase or lease of a Mirai good for $15,000 or six years, whichever comes first. By our calculations, the credit should last for about 60,000 miles if you're driving the Limited, or even longer if you're behind the wheel of the more efficient XLE. Even if you drive a lot, it'll be years before you pay out of pocket to fill up.

So is the Mirai right for you? The biggest things to consider are the number of hydrogen stations within easy access, and whether you can get by without a usable middle seat in the rear. (The Mirai's direct competitor, the hydrogen-powered Hyundai Nexo, is an SUV with a low tunnel that makes three-across seating possible.)

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Average

7.2

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Toyota Mirai on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

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 new 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 same can be said of the premium JBL sound system found in the Limited trim.

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 monitoring 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.

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 and comparable to the Honda Clarity. 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. Toyota at one point was offering a $20,000 incentive for the Mirai, on top $15,000 worth of hydrogen fuel credit, an $8,000 federal tax credit, and for California residents, an additional $4,500 credit. 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. The Mirai is a bit more expensive than the Hyundai Nexo and Honda Clarity, but it benefits from a more premium-looking interior and feels very well built. 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.

2022 Toyota Mirai trim level differences

The 2022 Toyota Mirai is a rear-wheel-drive midsize sedan sold in two trim levels: XLE and Limited. It is one of only two 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. Compare the 2022 Toyota Mirai trim levels in-depth.

Which Mirai trim does Edmunds recommend?

Given the limited number of fueling stations, the Mirai is as much a lifestyle commitment as it is an actual car. We think buyers willing to make the jump should get the best possible version they can to make the driving experience as palatable as possible. That's why we recommend the Limited, which offers a variety of luxury features and quality-of-life upgrades.
