2024 Toyota Mirai: The Future of Green Driving

If you’re looking for a vehicle with a luxurious interior, superb handling, and electrified power, you need to consider the 2024 Toyota Mirai. This car offers many standard safety and driver-assistance features, a spacious interior, and a more extended driving range than most electric options. 

The Mirai is in a class of its own, using hydrogen gas inside high-pressure tanks to generate enough power to run the electric motor. There’s no need to plug it in at night or pull up to a gas tank on the road. Our Longo Toyota team invites you to explore this overview of the 2024 Mirai to determine if this vehicle is for you.

What Are the Different Types of Electrified Vehicles?

Toyota provides several ways to enjoy electrified vehicles, starting with the original Prius, which features a four-cylinder engine, electric motor, and battery as an electric hybrid. The RAV4 Prime offers a plug-in hybrid option that generates enough electric power for your daily commute but can also utilize hybrid power for longer trips. The next option is the bZ4X, which runs solely on a powertrain connected to an electrical grid that must be plugged in to charge. Finally, the Mirai features the fourth category of electrified vehicles from Toyota, which are powered by hydrogen gas.

How Does the Mirai Use Hydrogen?

While traditional gas-powered engines rely on petroleum and electric vehicles use electricity, a hydrogen-powered vehicle utilizes hydrogen and oxygen to ignite the spark and sustain it for your trip. The extraction of electrons from the hydrogen atoms converts the electrons to electricity to power your Mirai. This process produces only water vapor as an emission, which is a harmless byproduct. A hydrogen fuel cell is also smaller, lighter, and consumes fewer resources during production than the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles, making it an even better option for electrified travel.

The Mirai gets 182 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque to keep you at the front of the pack on any road. You’ll love the comfortable, near-silent ride offered by this hydrogen-powered sedan.

What Is the 2024 Toyota Mirai’s Driving Range?

The 2024 Toyota Mirai offers an impressive manufacturer-estimated 402-mile driving range and refuels in about five minutes. This range is comparable to a traditional gas-powered vehicle, giving you plenty of time between refueling. While you can get upwards of 300 miles of driving range on electric options, they take a minimum of 45 minutes at a DC fast charging station or hours overnight on a Level 1 or 2 charger to restore their range.

Electric charging stations are becoming more common across California, and the dedicated hydrogen-based fueling infrastructure is most prevalent in our fine state. This makes the possibility of enjoying the freedom of hydrogen-powered vehicles more attainable for California drivers.

Standard Features

You can purchase the 2024 Toyota Mirai in two trims: the XLE and Limited. Standard features of the XLE include dual-zone automatic climate control, a 14-speaker premium JBL sound system, and a 12.3-inch infotainment touch screen with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. You also get keyless entry and start, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, and a Wi-Fi hotspot in the XLE.

Moving up to the Limited trim adds tri-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, and power-adjustable front seats with driver memory functions. A digital rearview mirror, rear touch-screen control panel, panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, and rear sunshades are also standard on the Limited.

Both trims offer a luxurious interior designed with the comfort and convenience of passengers and drivers in mind, complete with copper-colored trim elements for an added sense of style. When it’s time to put a new vehicle in your garage, the 2014 Toyota Mirai deserves serious consideration.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Aids

The 2024 Mirai features Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, giving you peace of mind regarding arriving safely at your destination.  This system uses a combination of radar, sensors, and cameras to improve your overall safety awareness in the Mirai. Standard features include:

• Forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection.
• Lane departure alert.
• Lane-keeping system.
• Adaptive cruise control.
• A blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert.

You can also add a 360-degree camera system and parking sensors with the optional Advanced Technology package. The Limited trim adds an automated parking system, as well as the features of the Advanced Technology package, as standard driver’s aids. Each Mirai also comes with an advanced air bag system to help further protect you and your passengers in the event of a collision.
