Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz announced the new Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle will offer an EPA-estimated 67 miles per gallon equivalent (mpge).  The Mirai will hit dealerships in California this fall, with an EPA-estimated driving range rating of 312 miles on a single fill of hydrogen.

“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 Mirai is the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle. It’s a four-door, mid-size sedan with performance that will fully compete with traditional internal combustion engines, but uses no gasoline.  The Toyota Mirai is designed to create electricity on demand using hydrogen, oxygen and a fuel cell, while emitting water vapor in the process.

In addition to great range and fuel economy, Mirai drivers will enjoy a comprehensive, ownership experience offering a range of world-class services, including three years of complimentary fuel, SafetyConnect and Eutune and more.

Beginning this summer, California customers can request a Mirai by visiting www.toyota.com/mirai.  Customers can visit www.toyota.com/mirai to sign up for more information and notification of exact Mirai order request launch timing in the coming months.
