The new Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle will
offer an EPA-estimated 67 miles per gallon equivalent (mpge)
city/highway/combined when it hits dealerships in California this
fall, and an EPA-estimated driving range rating of 312 miles on a
single fill of hydrogen.
Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz announced the EPA-estimated
performance figures at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colorado.
Mirai is the only zero emission electric vehicle on the market that
tops the 300 mile range milestone.
“Toyota realized in the early 90’s that electrification was key
to the future of the automobile,” said Lentz. “Just as the Prius
introduced hybrid-electric vehicles to millions of customers nearly
twenty years ago, the Mirai is now poised to usher in a new era of
efficient, hydrogen transportation.”
The world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric
vehicle, the Toyota Mirai is a four-door, mid-size sedan with
performance that fully 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.
Toyota has matched the Mirai’s impressive performance with an
equally impressive ownership experience. In addition to outstanding
range and fuel economy, Mirai drivers will enjoy a comprehensive,
ownership experience offering a range of world-class services,
including:
- Three years’ worth of complimentary
fuel[1]
- 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.[2]
- ToyotaCare[3], our standard no cost
service plan and roadside assistance, is enhanced for Mirai and
offers:
- No cost scheduled maintenance for three
years, or 35,000 miles, whichever comes first[4].
- No cost enhanced roadside assistance[5]
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.[6]
- 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.[4]
