“Unlike battery-electric vehicles that can require hours to recharge, Mirai drivers fill the vehicle’s tanks with compressed hydrogen gas, a non-toxic fuel. Electricity generated by the fuel cell and regenerative braking is stored in a lithium-ion battery. Pressing the accelerator pedal delivers immediate electric power from the fuel cell to the rear-mounted AC synchronous motor, which drives the rear wheels. The intake system is designed to help minimize noise and purify incoming air using an electrostatic air cleaner and a charcoal filter, helping to ensure a quiet and cleaner driving experience,” Toyota said.

The 2026 Mirai is built on Toyota’s rear-wheel-drive GA-L platform. “the Mirai is a midsize luxury-sport sedan designed for engaging driving dynamics. The RWD layout accommodates the two hydrogen tanks located under the rear seats. The high-strength GA-L platform, paired with a sophisticated multilink suspension, provides the foundation for superb handling agility and an exceptionally smooth and quiet ride. Laser screw welding and adhesive structure bonding, proven on many other Toyota and Lexus models, are among the construction techniques used to give the Mirai a truly premium feel on the road,” Toyota claimed.

The Mirai is equipped with auto-leveling bi-beam LED headlights, multi-LED front and rear turn signal indicators, Daytime Running Lights and clearance lights. The LED side marker lamps are etched with the Mirai logo. A LED taillight panel spans the vehicle’s width.
