2022 Toyota Mirai Review: Driving on Water
• The EV – and yes it is an EV – is powered by hydrogen, and emits only water.
This comes as Toyota readies to launch its first EV, though the bZ4X’s recent challenges – as well as those of its Subaru Solterra twin – have been well-documented. The Mirai, on the other hand, is already on its second generation. And it’s looking altogether new, more premium and actually less avant garde that the first model.

For that you do get niceties like a digital rear-view mirror, heads-up display and 20-inch wheels instead to the 19-inch wheels of the XLE, but that seems like a big price jump considering there are no mechanical differences between the two. Still, it’s a lot less than it takes to move into the Lexus LS. Or something like the Genesis G80 Electric.
This is one of the main issues when it comes to hydrogen power: you need to find a place to store all that hydrogen and you can only compress it so far without it becoming unstable. The Mirai is a big, heavy car at almost 2,000 kg, but the suspension has been tuned just so for both a great ride and the ability to move through corners and from stops without feeling too much like a porker, helped along by the RWD powertrain. It will even give you some fake engine sounds if you want it but these sound kind of cheap, so I switched them off.
