Overview

Fuel Cell vehicles have not been popular in the market. Their adoption was not mainstream, and operating them on a daily basis brings its own anxiety. However, they are not without benefits. These benefits are why cars such as the 2018 Toyota Mirai Sedan are still being sold. Operating in the midsize sedan, the Mirai competes only with the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell, With a base price of MSRP $59,285, the Mirai offers just one trim. Its hydrogen-powered electric engine produces 151 horsepower and has a torque output of 247 lb-ft from a 1-speed automatic transmission sending power to the front wheels. This setup gets you an EPA rating of 67 MPGe combined and provides 312 miles of range.

Buying Advice

Limited to just one trim level, the Mirai gets you features such as blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, keyless ignition and entry, adaptive cruise control, eight-way power-adjustable, a navigation system, parking sensors, premium audio, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats.
