The verdict

What's good

  • Hydrogen refueling takes under five minutes, unlike battery EVs
  • RWD chassis gives it genuinely composed handling for a sedan
  • Interior quality and refinement outclass its modest price expectation
  • Toyota includes free hydrogen fuel for three years at purchase

What's not

  • Hydrogen stations are concentrated in California, nearly absent elsewhere
  • Fuel cell components add complexity that long-term owners should research
  • Performance feels leisurely compared to battery-electric competitors
  • Resale value is unpredictable given hydrogen infrastructure uncertainty

The engine

Mirai

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric

An electric car that makes its own electricity on board, fusing hydrogen with oxygen to drive a rear-mounted motor with silent, smooth power and only water from the tailpipe. It drives like a quiet rear-wheel-drive EV but refuels in minutes like a gasoline car.

'Mirai' means 'future' in Japanese; Toyota began fuel-cell development in 1992 and launched the first Mirai in 2014, with the second generation moving to the rear-drive TNGA platform.
