Toyota introduces second-generation Mirai fuel cell electric vehicle as design and technology flagship
For 2021, Toyota has fully rebooted the Mirai, originally offered in 2016, as a premium rear-wheel drive sports-luxury fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) with striking design, cutting-edge technology, more engaging driving performance and a significantly longer EPA-estimated range rating.
The 2021 Mirai is powered by the latest evolution of the brand’s advanced fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) powertrain. The new Mirai is one part of an electrification strategy that also includes Toyota’s current and future hybrids and upcoming battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
Built on the rear-wheel drive GA-L platform that also underpins the larger Lexus LS sedan, the 2021 Toyota Mirai makes a major design departure from the front-wheel drive first-generation version. The body is lower, longer, and wider, with its bolder stance accentuated by standard 19-inch alloy wheels.

With its customizability and low price point, it’s no secret that the Kicks is aimed at young drivers. So in an effort to stay “hip with the kids,” Nissan decided to make Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard across all trims for the 2021 model year. You’ll be able to access the infotainment tech via the standard 7.0-inch touch-screen display, or the newly available 8.0-inch screen. The upper trims also offer a new USB Type-C port, which transmits both power and data.
