Toyota Mirai at a glance
Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
The second-generation Toyota Mirai undergoes a substantial redesign, transitioning from a front-wheel-drive platform to the GA-L rear-wheel-drive architecture shared with premium Lexus models. This structural change significantly alters the vehicle's proportions, making it longer, wider, and lower. The wheelbase is extended by 140 mm to 2920 mm, allowing for a roomier interior cabin. Under the hood, Toyota engineers repositioned the fuel-cell stack, which works alongside three strategically placed hydrogen tanks to achieve a balanced 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution. These storage capacity upgrades increase the overall driving range by approximately 30 percent, enabling the sedan to travel up to 650 kilometers on a single fill-up. Ultimately, the Mirai is positioned as a comfortable, quiet highway cruiser with rapid refueling capability that makes it a unique option in the zero-emission segment.
- Power: 182 hp
- Transmissions: single-speed reduction gear
- Seating: 5 seats

Toyota Mirai overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior styling of the 2021 Mirai is fully revised, replacing the polarising shapes of the first generation with a sleek fastback silhouette. The body length is increased by 85 mm to 4975 mm, and the width is wider by 70 mm to 1885 mm, while the height is lowered by 65 mm to 1470 mm. A redesigned front grille, new headlights, and a sloping roofline give the sedan a planted and elegant appearance. The revised proportions improve aerodynamic efficiency while establishing a mature, premium road presence.
Interior
Inside, the Mirai receives a driver-focused cabin overhaul. The instrument panel is relocated from the center of the dashboard to directly behind the steering wheel. A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display is tilted slightly toward the driver for easier access. Thanks to the longer wheelbase, the cabin now accommodates up to five passengers, up from four in the previous generation. Cabin comfort and convenience are enhanced by a three-zone climate control system, wireless phone charging, and a 14-speaker JBL premium audio system.
Performance
The powertrain features a rear-mounted electric motor delivering 182 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque. It is powered by a 174-horsepower electrochemical fuel-cell generator and three under-floor hydrogen storage tanks. This rear-wheel-drive configuration enables the sedan to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds and reach a top speed of 175 km/h. Moving the fuel-cell stack under the hood and rearranging the tanks yields a balanced 50:50 weight distribution, which improves overall handling and ride quality compared to the first-generation model.
Practicality
With a seating capacity of five, the Mirai serves as a spacious daily vehicle, though cargo space is slightly compromised. Due to the placement of the rear hydrogen storage tank, the trunk capacity is limited to 321 liters. The sedan has a ground clearance of 150 mm, which is typical for E-segment passenger cars. A turning circle of 11.6 meters ensures the vehicle remains maneuverable in city environments despite its increased length.
Safety and tech
The Mirai comes equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ suite, which features adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and road sign recognition. Tech features include a surround-view camera system, blind-spot monitoring, and parking sensors. The cabin is equipped with heated and ventilated seats for both front and rear passengers, power-adjustable front seats, and a power-operated rear window sunshade for added rear passenger comfort.
Buyer notes
Buyers considering the 2021 Toyota Mirai should confirm local hydrogen refueling infrastructure, as operation is restricted to regions with active stations. The vehicle is offered in a single 128 kW rear-wheel-drive configuration. Although standard equipment levels are high, specific package options, interior trims, and feature availability can vary depending on the destination market. It is advisable to compare regional trim differences to ensure the desired level of equipment.
