2021 Toyota Mirai Electric

The 2020 Toyota Mirai comes loaded with a whole set of creature comforts that will suit the taste of everyone. You get standard features like steering mounted Audio, Cruise and Voice Controls and Dynamic Guidelines for navigation and Rear View Camera.

Some of the other features that haven't been listed below includes Dynamic POI searching in the Navigation system, SofTex Seats, Power Lumbar Support, powered door locks, Qi Wireless Charging Pad for compatible phones, Touch Control, LED Stoplights.

Trim to Choose

The Mirai comes in only one trim, we recommend you get it in the Nautical Blue Metallic color as it complements the futuristic design of the exterior shell of the car. 

Considering the fact that the Mirai uses an Electric Motor to power itself and with Hydrogen being the fuel of choice, The Mirai does exceptionally well in providing good Fuel Economy as compared to its Gas-powered rivals. The best part from the burning of Hydrogen is the fact that the only gas that is emitted out of the Tail Pipe is Water Vapor.

In terms of the Competition, the Clarity has a marginally higher fuel economy than the Toyota and what makes the Honda, sneak ahead is the overall tank capacity. On the other hand, Toyota delivers the same mileage figure in all conditions while the Clarity varies in the City and Highway but not by a huge margin.

The controls actually work well enough, but you have to learn their peculiarities and quirks. :-TheCarConnection.com

Seating and Comfort

The 2020 Toyota Mirai can only seat 4 adults inside it but despite this, the passengers won't complain about the space on offer. The Seats have been sculpted nicely and they can be power adjusted as well on the front. There is a good amount of Headroom and Legroom on offer while the big glass area, accentuates the overall roomy feeling inside the cabin.

The Individual Cushioning of the seats is top-notch while the rear seats themselves come in a bucket seat type configuration. The Seats also come with a Heating Functionality while the Cabin doesn't allow many roads or tire noise, to filter into the cabin even at high speeds.

Infotainment and Interior Features

Just like the Future Ready powertrain of the Mirai, the Infotainment System of the Mirai is ready for the future as well. You get features like a Premium Entune Audio System with 11 JBL Speakers that includes subwoofer and amplifier, Dynamic Real-Time Navigation that can guide you to the nearest Hydrogen Filling Station and an App Suite that supports multiple Apps from the Phone via Apple Car Play or Android Auto Integration.

Cargo Capacity

There isn't much to talk about when we come to the topic of Cargo Space. The Toyota Mirai offers around 12.8 cubic feet. of space in its trunk and manages to beat the Spacious Honda in this respect, albeit by a very small margin.

Other than the space you see in the Cargo, there aren't many avenues of increasing the space behind as the rear seats can't be folded for providing additional space. In terms of keeping smaller items like phones or bottle, Toyota has provided sufficient Cubby holes and bottle holders for keeping the same.

The Toyota Mirai was the first vehicle to use a new Toyota styling idiom when it launched for 2016, and the results were peculiar at best. :-TheCarConnection.com

Design and Dimensions

In terms of the Exterior Design, the Designers at Toyota haven't done their best in terms of styling the Mirai handsomely. The Mirai resembles its other siblings when it comes to the front end while the side profiles would look "Hideous" to most.

Bits of the Mirai's fastback shape seem to glide over different bits, with a black recess isolating the hood from the bumpers and progressively glossy black on the back columns, to give the rooftop a suspending appearance over the windows. The big intakes feed air to the compressor and other auxiliaries for the fuel cell powertrain.

The 2020 Toyota Mirai resembles other Gas-powered sedans in terms of the exterior dimensions. It doesn't look small or overly big and has decent proportions overall. The Mirai is taller than the Clarity and has a lesser wider stance than the same. The width, however, doesn't make a lot of difference as on the inside, the Mirai is spacious and offers generous space.

In terms of the Wheelbase, the Mirai has a higher specification than the Clarity and that gives it an edge while doing high-speed stints on the motorway. The Elongated wheelbase liberates more space for passengers in the back and adds to the overall stability of the Car.

Exterior Features

The Futuristic looking Exteriors of the Mirai looks not only "Out of the Box" but packs in a host of clever features in various parts of the Car. Some of the features include

• Automatic LED Low and High Beam Headlamps with Auto On/Off

• Rain Sensing, Variable Intermittent Windshield Wipers with Heated Windshield and Wiper De-Icer
• Noise Reducing Windshield on the front, rear, and side glass
• Keyless Entry
• Touch Sensor Lock/Unlock door feature

Toyota puts Safety as one of its Top Priorities when designing and bringing new Cars into the Market and the 2020 Mirai is no exception to the same. You get a lot of State of the Art safety features bundled inside the Mirai.

The Standard Safety Features include

• 8 Airbags

Toyota RAV-4 vs Honda Clarity

It should be made clear that both Honda and Toyota have taken a Big Step in possibly showing us a future that involves Hydrogen rather than charging stations. The Honda Clarity was one of the first few cars in the segment, to usher in the change with the Fuel Cell Technology. With the Current Generation of the Clarity, you get a more superior and sophisticated powertrain and Fuel Cell Technology with an even higher amount of efficiencies. Both the Honda and Toyota are equally matched in terms of what they offer but if you have to make a choice, it just comes down to the exteriors and which one you like the most.

The Toyota Mirai has been named the Mirai as it does show us, what the future can actually look like. With just Water Vapor coming out of the Tail Pipe as the residue from the combustion of a Fuel, it's a dream come true for everyone who cares for the Environment and the future of the Earth alike. Keeping aside the Exteriors that wouldn't appeal to all, the Mirai offers everything that a normal Gas-powered Modern sedan offers. So, if you are a person who really wants an Environment-friendly car that drives like a Normal modern-day sedan but doesn't give you the guilt feeling within the inside of polluting the Environment, the Mirai is just the Car for you.
