Every so often, there’s a vehicle that redefines what the public considers the wave of the future. The Toyota Mirai is just that car. Going on sale in 2016, the Mirai becomes the first hydrogen fuel cell powered car of its kind. If you’re intrigued, here’s a little more about the car.
Hydrogen Fuel Cells
The Mirai runs solely on hydrogen, meaning that it expels no exhaust other than water. As a result, it’s the cleanest car on the market, plus it goes 300 miles on a single cell, which is more than triple the average electric car. Toyota backs the Mirai by offering the fuel for free for the first three years you own the car. The car even has a hydrogen fuel cell station locator, so you won’t stress too much about not finding a place to fill up.
Fuel-Efficient, Yet Peppy
For those that are quick to bash the Prius, they won’t have the same success with the Mirai. Despite its fuel source, the Mirai still pumps out 156 horsepower and goes from zero to 60 in 9.4 seconds. Sure, it’s not going to win a drag race, but it isn’t completely negligent either.
Pricing
At just over $58,000, the Mirai seems like an expensive choice, but then again, there aren’t many fuel cell cars out there. In addition, the free fuel for three years totals about a $6,000 value, and tax credits can total as high as $13,000.
If you want to become one of the first on your block to become a part of history, than you surely should consider the Mirai for your next vehicle.
