When you pump hydrogen into the vehicle, the gas travels to carbon-fiber-reinforced fuel tanks where it's stored.
The FCV's front intake grilles deliver the outside air to the fuel cell stack.
Hydrogen travels from the tanks to the fuel cell stack. There, it goes through a chemical reaction involving the oxygen in the air, creating electricity to power the vehicle.
When you put your foot on the gas pedal, electricity from the fuel cell stack is sent to the motor.
In the end, the only by-product of creating electricity with hydrogen and oxygen in our fuel cell stack is water, which exits out of the tailpipe.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and hydrogen fuel is used to help create the electricity that powers Mirai. The only by-product of creating electricity with hydrogen and oxygen in our fuel cell stack is water, which exits out of the tailpipe.
Designed exclusively for Mirai, standard 17-in. engraved alloy wheels bring the perfect amount of sophistication and style.
With the Smart Key fob in your pocket or bag, you can lock and unlock the doors of Mirai using only your touch on the door handle.
Connectivity just got better. Mirai’s standard Entune™ 3.0 multimedia system gets a host of great new features including the Entune 3.0 App Suite, a 4G LTE hotspot via Wi-Fi Connect Powered by Verizon, and Dynamic Navigation.
Many of Mirai’s frequently used features can be controlled right from its ergonomically shaped steering wheel. Drivers can take calls, adjust the Multi-Information Display, scroll through playlists and more—all without the need to remove one’s hands from the wheel. And when the weather gets chilly, its built-in heating feature will help keep things comfortable.
Settle in and get comfortable. Mirai comes standard with heated SofTex®-trimmed 8-way power-adjustable front seats, making it easy to find the perfect seating position. Rear seat passengers get the VIP treatment, as well—their own heated seat control.
The future is wireless. That’s why Mirai features standard Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging. Just place your Qi-compatible smartphone onto the non-slip surface in the integrated eBin™, and charge up wirelessly.
When the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) detects a vehicle, it illuminates a warning indicator on the appropriate sideview mirror to help let you know when it’s safe to change lanes. And when you slowly back out of a driveway or parking spot, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) provides audible and visual indicators to warn you of approaching vehicles.
Mirai features a unique frame designed to distribute crash forces efficiently. In the event of a collision, the impact force is distributed around the passenger cabin and the Toyota fuel cell stack and hydrogen tanks, reducing body deformation and helping to reduce the chance of injury. The collapsible steering column also helps protect the driver by absorbing force during impact.
Looking at the face of the future, the 2018 Toyota Mirai appeals to those living an environmentally-conscientious lifestyle. A hydrogen fuel cell sedan, the new Mirai emits merely water vapor from the exhaust pipe. Currently, in the United States, most hydrogen is made from natural gas. This process discharges the gas carbon dioxide right at the plant rather than harming the air we breathe. While the hydrogen fuel cell way of driving is growing leaps and bounds, the 2018 Mirai benefits from Toyota providing free hydrogen fueling for the 3-years or up to 36,000-driving miles, whichever comes first. With thirty-one fueling stations in convenient California locations and a dozen new stations being built from New York to Boston, the smart Toyota Mirai may now be purchased rather than just leased. Presenting a remarkably smooth ride with an intuitive response, the midsize Mirai sedan grants a more comfortable ride than its closest competitors. The serene interior features an atmosphere of high-quality materials with an excellent outward view. Trunk volume measures the largest in the Eco-smart segment. Delivering a driving range longer than electric motoring, the comfortable ride takes you 312-miles before a five-minute refuel is needed. Simply, the 2018 Toyota Mirai is equipped with everything you need without harm to mother earth. And that feels good.
