The name of the model was not just. Translated from Japanese, "Mirai" means "future". Unlike hybrid cars and fully electric cars, charging which requires a mechanism for filling tank Mirai only takes about 5 minutes.
Exterior
Externally, the car is fully consistent with recent stylistic trends of Toyota. Toyota Mirai is very similar ha current versions of models avensis and Corolla, and there is something similar to a modern Lexus.
Front center hosted the Toyota nameplate, and its inner part is made in blue (similar to hybrid cars such as Toyota Prius ZVW30).
Front bumper with air intakes, wide triangular holes around the edges, which usually are fog lights. Here everything is based on getting more air. This is due to the appearance of the front of the car.
The side view is quite traditional: large doors, medium in size wheel arches, stylish rear view mirrors, supplemented by repeaters.
Back stylish optics, good bumper, large platform marker lights. If you do not look at the front of the car, the car was a classic for Toyota appearance.
Interior
But what about the inside of this wonderful car? Inside the classic elements are combined with the technologies of the future. The dashboard, multifunction steering wheel, a large display is what catches the eye instantly.
The whole interior looks bright, unusual and interesting. Many of the buttons and controls of the car will force the driver to spend one minute studying of his car. Even seemingly ordinary things are implemented outside the box.
The seats are comfortable, stylish, and have lateral support.
As stated by Toyota, the rear can comfortably accommodate three.
Specifications
Hybrid propulsion system of the Toyota Mirai will produce power equal to 153 horsepower. And, interestingly, when riding on this car, instead of a harmful exhaust gas will be allocated to clean water. Any damage to nature, no pollution.
Power reserve when fully charged, the assurances of the representative of the company, will be about 650 kilometers. This will be enough not only for riding around town but for trips outside the city.
For acceleration to 100 kilometers per hour Toyota Mirai will spend about 9.6 seconds.
How and where to refuel the car is, of course, an interesting question. Yet in Russia, the infrastructure for such technologies is not developed. In Russia only began to appear charging stations and not all regions of the country. But while such cars the majority of Russians do not dream.
Plus the owners of this car will be another "bonus". The car will be equipped with Power Take Off. This system will allow you to use the power unit as a power plant to provide electricity to the house if necessary. While Mirai is able to provide the house with electricity for a week. But, of course, much depends on the size of the house.
The cost
First, the hydrogen miracle will appear in Japan. The cost of the car there will be about 60 thousand dollars. It is unknown what will be included in the package of this car and how much it will cost the car in the top configuration.
The government of Japan has already announced that all buyers of eco-friendly cars will receive subsidies in the amount of 2 million yen (17 million U.S. dollars. of the author).
