The new Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle will have an EPA-estimated 67 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) city/highway/combined when it appears in California this fall. This means an EPA-estimated driving range rating of 312 miles on a single fill of hydrogen. Mirai is right now the only zero emission EV on the market that tops the 300 mile range mark, at least on paper. The Zero emission claim is also dependent on how the hydrogen fuel is produced.
That said, the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, the Toyota Mirai is a four-door, mid-size sedan with performance that competes with traditional internal combustion engines – but uses no gasoline. Instead, Mirai creates electricity on demand using hydrogen, oxygen and a fuel cell, and emits nothing but water vapor in the process.
In addition to good range and fuel economy, Mirai drivers will have a premium ownership experience with:
• Three years’ worth of complimentary fuel up to $15,000.
• Three years complimentary Safety Connect and Entune, including hydrogen station finder app.
• Three years of 24/7 customer call support.
• Mirai Complimentary Rental Experience for seven days per year for three years. Any unused days will not carry over.
ToyotaCare, the standard no cost service plan and roadside assistance, is enhanced for Mirai with:
• No cost scheduled maintenance for three years, or 35,000 miles, whichever comes first. It covers normal factory scheduled maintenance and is valid only at authorized Mirai Fuel Cell dealers in the continental United States
• No cost enhanced roadside assistance for three years, regardless of mileage, including expedited towing service and trip interruption reimbursement at a maximum of $500 per day for up to 5 days per incident.
• An 8-year/100,000-mile warranty on key fuel cell vehicle components including the FC stack and power control unit; FC hydrogen tanks; hybrid battery pack and ECU; FC air compressor, boost converter and ECU; hybrid control module (power management control module); and hydrogen fueling ECU.
