- Introducing the all-new Toyota Mirai. Key facts:
• Second generation of Toyota’s ground-breaking, zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell electric saloon.
• Built on Toyota’s modular GA-L platform, enabling improved system packaging and a more spacious, five-seat cabin.
• New platform allows for an extra (third) hydrogen fuel tank to be added, contributing to a 30% increase in the car’s driving range to around 650km.
• Focus on building more emotional appeal through design and driving quality, in addition to the Mirai’s eco-performance.
• Completely redesigned fuel cell system, with significant reductions in the size and weight of all principal components.
• Installing a fully revised fuel cell electric powertrain on the GA-L vehicle platform achieves an ideal 50:50 chassis balance.
• Toyota targets a 10-fold increase in global Mirai sales.

As an electrical engineer with a string bias to chemistry, I think that this is the most wonderful vehicle ever produced.
To Mr. Musk and all his following nay-sayers on the Internet: every technology deserves a spot light. This tech has vast potential! BEVs get to what they are today after numerous explosions and accidents. There will be a learning curve for fuel-cells but their starting position is even longer (700km) than what all BEVs can do best. Let the better tech win~ Better, let all potent techs have their places in market and give us less SOx, NOx, and PM to worry about.
Don't worry. The better tech has won.
Don't plea to Elon fan boys they are a cult.
Musk and cryptos
Not forget a quick recharge like gas at pump station
@@NO3V For now, wait till the Battery replacement cost hits you like a dump truck 🚛
This vid definetly simplifies how the car works. I'm lucky that I found this for my project.
What a great time to live,Thank you Toyota for an amazing piece of tech.I really hope they eventually bring this to SEA market especially Malaysia.
277k hope u can afford it
I'm excited to see these on the road again. I cant wait till hydrogen fuel cell cars take off
Thanks, Jack! Did you ever get to try out the last Mirai? You can check out the improvements here: fal.cn/34sIj.
@@toyotauk unfortunately I didn't. However I did get to see it in action and it looked like nothing else!!
Fab! Are you currently in the market for a new car Jack?
@@toyotauk sadly not toyota, however I would totally reccomend any toyota to a friend or family member !!
That's great news, thanks so much!
Fantastic, the Mirai is the "triple threat"... I really love how the technologies are combined to create and reuse energy..
Toyota, I'm waiting on a 2022 Tundra 1794 4x4 but if I had the option, I'd definitely invest into a Hydrogen vehicle
Cyclist be like: I slipped on the road because it was wet, these must be the Toyota Mirai again
Because it never rains, especially not here in the UK 😜
@@toyotauk lol
😂
The reason why i love toyota just like my girlfriend
Error 404
Such a calm technology.
Leaving nothing but water... 💛
This is by far my favorite Toyota on my list
Love the technology, waited years for it to come to reality!
But pls make a better video so people will buy it..
Thanks for your feedback, Dror. More details on our second-generation Mirai can be found here: fal.cn/3bVyt
And Toyota, please consistent with the range, in this documentary you mention the range to be 700KM, but in the launch by chief Engineer, the range is quoted as 850km
Thanks for your feedback, Harold. More details on our second-generation Mirai can be found here: fal.cn/3bVyt
Wish this car will sell globally. Make mother earth great again.
Don't have to wait several hours to refuel for electricity, amazing!
You don't have to do that to begin with at a super charger
@@kalebnotto1596 that is bad for the battery over time
It is absolutely not. Literallly using a battery is bad for it over time that's how batteries work doofus. Stop fast charging your phone then if it's that big of a deal
@@kalebnotto1596 Fast charging cell phone is not a big deal, but EV battery is a big deal. 🤔🤔
@@kalebnotto1596 phones last a few years until the battery starts to wear significantly. That's fine for a phone but an EV?
This is technology in mobility!
It’s crazy how everyone sees electric cars as the future where hydrogen fuel cells are literally starting right at you. The only infrastructure required for these are the fuel stations.
Hi Zeeshan, thanks for your feedback on the new generation Mirai. We're pleased to hear that you recognise the benefits of Hydrogen fuel. This is not the only fuel cell project that we've worked on, we also have a Hydrogen-powered ship, bus and HGV. Check out the latter here: fal.cn/qZ3V. Thanks.
Just look at the road maps of all other car manufacturers and count the number of planned BEV models vs. FCEVs. H2 in cars is a dead end.
We believe that there is currently no single solution to reducing vehicle emissions or meeting customer transport needs. It is about delivering the right vehicle at the right place and at the right time, so investments have been made in all areas in order to meet immediate, medium- and long-term needs throughout the world. Thanks.
Hydrogen cars _are_ electric cars.
@@thethirdman225 No. You can refuel much faster. The production is due to a much smaller battery more efficient, the car reaches 550-650 km even in reality and the car doesn’t need so much Lithium as an electric Car. Let me tell you why Electric Cars are the future of the past: The production of this huge battery blocks doesn’t only need energy ( lots and lots of energy) it needs Lithium. Lithium is an ending resource and probably won’t last for every car on the street to be electric. Do you see the problem ? We’re driving in the wrong direction! In probably 10 Years half of the cars is electric and then everybody will notice: We don’t have Lithium 🤷🏻♂️. Basically Fuel Cell Cars are electric cars without the biggest problem of electric cars !
Toyota please make this fantastic piece of tech. more affordable to average people like me
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada however, my research project is on Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle I wish to drive these one day hopefully, whenever I visit British Columbia
I have one. im loving it! I'm hoping they'll have more infrastructures in the future!
How about now, 2 years later.
What does it cost to operate?
Any big problems?
Amazing!
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are the new electric car of the 1980s.
Specifically: they are amazing tech that will be held back for 30 years until finally having their day in the sun. At some point the production of gaseous hydrogen will become trivial, but that’s a problem for the future to solve.
It’s cool that Toyota believed in it enough to bring it to market first, but this tech isn’t going to ride the wave that electric cars currently are.
Toyota is truly the best!
Thanks for your support!
Really like the new design👍
Thanks Shezan. Yoshikazu Tanaka, chief engineer of the new Mirai, said: “We have pursued the goal of making a car that customers will feel they want to drive all the time, a car that has an emotional and attractive design, and the kind of dynamic and responsive performance that can bring a smile to the driver’s face.''
So, we want people to own this car for the way it looks, not just because of the technology underneath.
Iam big fan of Toyota and hydrogen fuel cell cars
We're super pleased to hear that! Have you ever seen the Mirai in the flesh?
@@toyotauk iam from india and we see more Toyota innova crysta and Toyota fortuner please launch mirai in india to
We can only speak for the UK market, try contacting Toyota in India directly 👍
@@adarsh.m1999 push yah government for hydrogen network infrastructure..
Its amazing,future with hydrogen
Glad that you're a fan. Take a look here for more details on new Mirai: fal.cn/3bVyt
My professor in college during my engineering project had worked on a fuel cell project in india. We have some super interesting ideas on it. I did my engineering project in energy systems. I am super jazzed up see fuel cell cars becoming very common. Re utilisation of some existing oil infra for hydrogen transport can be done too. Oil pipelines like petrol and diesel pipelines can be reused after their supply is finished for hydrogen supply. Water can be given directly to everyone in the car itself,rather than just wasting it and remaining water can supplied back to filling tank through a second nozzle near the fuel nozzle in the same fuel line while refueling. A small portable electrolysis kit with solar panels can be given by the company for remote hydrogen production in emergency. This water supply for driver can be especially useful in the african countries.
Is there any video or information about the development of the Hydrogen Tanks?
toyota your are the best company
Real nice tech, only 1 small drawback is rear wheel drive. This Gotta be changed in inclement weather. Ie all wheel drive be awsome
Thanks for your feedback, James. We will pass your feedback along to our team!
Yes. 110% agree, AWD should be standard with this lvl of innovation and driving.. We need a network of hydrogen stations on east coast as ppl do live on this side of the US as well.
Keep this up and running..EV's and this can co exist
I love it
Awesome! See what the early press reviews have said: fal.cn/3chzT
this and the new lexus IS are 2 of the best looking cars right now. I absolutely believe in hydrogen as the future of cars, with better infrastructure this is a more reliable tech than BEV.
Mirai does mean Future in Japan.
Amazing! toyota is just getting better and better unfortunately l won't be buying cause l already love your toyota prius 2017 that l purchase a few days ago
Hi Rafael, we're super pleased to hear that you are enjoying your new Prius. We hope you enjoy many happy miles behind the wheel and really appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
Please add built in dash camera in mirai
OH SH*T! LETS GO TOYOTA!!! I truly believe Hydrogen is the future! its abundant! no need to take up major space like Tesla does.... smh and also more compatible with existing gas stations! plus Toyota Quality Parts and Proven Engineering! this will go great with Electric future!
Thanks Kuya. Here's an article that you may enjoy: fal.cn/3bVyt
If there is or there will be a hydrogen station in Portsmouth area I will get one...forget electric!!Hydrogen is genius..well done Toyota...
tesla is more simple to produce and maintain , i think.....
@@MrCorpnara you are not waiting 5 months just to replace a freakin bumper
Toyota is Toyota.
I don't know what the hype around Tesla is all about. That tells you a lot about our media.
This tech is way way advanced....much more than next level.
Thank you for your support Prajyoth.
You can blame Elon Musk and his 40 million Twitter followers for the hype.
@@thethirdman225 Twitter followers or clones 🤣🤣🤣😆🤣🤣😂
So in order to make hydrogen, you’ll need 9 liter of water to make 1 liter of hydrogen, it takes 1279,8 liter of water to run this car for 700km!! That much water here in the Netherlands cost around €1,80 euro. This is the future of driving!!! For the same distance I paid over €100 euro in gasoline. The big obstacles we need to face are big oil’s companies like Shell that make revenue over hundreds of billions of dollars each year, they won’t easily accept hydrogen.
Toyota should put this technology into the Camry!
Make it main stream!
PERFECT 👍👌
Thanks Peter. Here's more information on our second-generation Mirai: fal.cn/3bUv7
Great vid.
Thanks! More details on our second-generation hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle can be found here: fal.cn/3bZcf
i wounder if you had a highway through a desert with 100k cars every day and switch them all with hydrogen cars if you could see a difference in the growth of plans near the highway after a few years.
Hydrogen fuel cell energy is the future.
It's so beautiful 😍
Go Toyota!
India is going to get big into green hydrogen.. so this car will have a future in lndia for sure if fueling stations are built atleast every 50/100 km radius
Present: hybrid car
Future: Fuel Cell car
This is great.
I am sri lankan . Expecting toyota will come and start hydrogen fuel station in sri lanka . 😍
Thank you for your support. Read more about our hydrogen-powered Mirai here: fal.cn/3cQNm Thanks.
I am from Bangladesh we got one so its the only fuel cell car in South Asia
In Romania a old guy invented a system for the engine to run with water. 2l of waters gives a range of 200 miles
is he still alive?
Those water powered cars all fraud.
I like it
Amazing
Thank you, Zack. Enjoy a closer look here: fal.cn/3cQiy
Can't wait for the 'Future'!
Us too! Find out more about the Mirai here: fal.cn/3fM9e 👍
@@toyotauk Is there a plan to introduce Mirai to Australia?
Unfortunately we can't comment on other markets, we'd advise you to contact Toyota Australia. Thanks!
This is brilliant, hydrogen supermini next?
Never say never, who knows what the future could hold! 😃
so does the FC supply power to the battery as well as the motor which then powers the motor? because im assuming theres no plugin for the battery, and there isnt an continiously running engine to charge the battery.
everyone talking about how amazing this tech is, yet bob lazar made his own hydrogen fuel cell for his car in his garage decades ago.
its hardly an accomplishment, just testament to how big oil has controlled us for so long
Great
Love toyota. I'm waiting H2 car for long time , How about maintenance ?
Thanks for your interest in new Mirai: fal.cn/3c0uo More details on the cost of ownership and maintenance will be revealed closer to launch.
@@toyotauk ke Bengkelnya pak Bambang Cakung bisa kok. Sans aja.
@@toyotauk Is it closer to launch now? I assume it's better than BEV? For example, mmh, let's pick Tesla: no required maintenance to keep 8 year drivetrain and battery warranty, airfilter changes and a few checkups recommended every 2 years. Fuelcell and tanks are maintenance free too, right?
The all-new Mirai will be introduced later this year, you can sign up for alerts on the model here: fal.cn/3cQqE More details will be available closer to launch.
Toyota need to make at home mini electrilyster to be powered by wind and solar . People can give two fingers to the oil companies and make their own hydrogen at home. The engine can also be used to store energy with larger tanks at home for when the sun unst shining or the wind blowing
When will it be available in India ?
Unfortunately we can't comment on other markets. You can enjoy a closer look at the Mirai on our website: fal.cn/3cQai
Very beautiful design and very clean (though complex) technology. Keep going.
Really, the design is so beautiful.
Thank you! The exterior design of the new Mirai creates an immediate impact, with low lines, elegant proportions and taut bodywork rolling on 20-inch diameter wheels: fal.cn/3dyvV
@@toyotauk Not a fan of "many inch" wheels (firm ride and flat tire at the first bigger pothole), but the car is very very very beautiful.
Amazing!!!,Hello Tesla I'm MIRAI
I like how it pays tribute to the Toyota Sera witch was "future" in French. Mirai is future in Japanese. The style is close
I Beleive in Hydrogen; a wake-up call for Fossil Industrries.
Nothing can replace diesel
I want Toyota mirai GT sport model
I am facing Hybrid error in my car ES 300 2020
"Hybrid system overheated please reduce output power"
It's showing and after one second disappear please help me and told me what I should because I visited in Lexus service center they told me no error is showing in computer so I cannot resolve until its showing
Hi Toyota
congrats for the seconf gen! great car !
Do you know if the T headquartes in Europe have plans for some other countries to expand with hydrogen also? if yes which are planed to be next with Hydrogen stations?
Toyota will help individuals to create a refueling Hydrogen stations in all cases ? or just in some cases and depends on the country?
Greece? any hydrogen stations? maybe toyota could help for more stations? Any plans?
Hello, thanks for your comment and interest in Hydrogen. We can only speak on behalf of Toyota in the UK. It's best to direct your queries to Toyota in your local area. Thanks.
Great!
The 1 thing that I'm really concerned about would honestly be in the case of an accident. As it's very flammable.
what if the oxygen level drops..high altitude hilly roads like khardungla. it will reduce the performance drastically..it seems
Thats amazing it only spews out water.
Great design and technology with environmental friendly cars.
It would be a challenge for the technicians to work on this cars though. The whole under of the car is very conjusted. No hote just my personal view.
But this is start maybe in future they can design maybe 2 or 3 different units make as one.
Nice and well made explanatory video, thanx a lot! The downside: you give best arguments and facts why hydrogen never will make it in larger numbers into cars. And not even in trucks since complexity means cost - this is not what transportation and logistics can handle.
Thank you for commenting Nicolas. You may just think that a few cars run on hydrogen, but you’d be wrong. Here you will find a list of all manner of machines and technologies that benefit from using hydrogen, and the list keeps growing each year. The items you will see are all working towards the same end goal, to create a hydrogen society: fal.cn/3dSd9
Water as exhaust - this is a dream machine for the environment and is just the beginning .
Its low sales figure indicate lack of hydrogen gas filling stations. Must be work of fossil fuel cartels to not allow the industry on mass production of hydrogen gas from water ofcourse.
How often do the fuel-cell Platinum-Catalysts have to be replaced, and how much do they cost, considering that platinum costs more than gold!!!!
the whole car costs 25000€ less than the base LExus LS ;-) ...so dont worry
@@kubanskiloewe $60,000+ is a Tohota-Mirai, here in California===3XCorolla-price!!!!
@@kareemsalessi pretty cheap i would say ! great car ....hopefully our LExus will die someday; but i fear i have to give him a bump :-)
@@kubanskiloewe $60K cheep for you, apparently!!! BTW::: Lexus==Enhanced-Toyota. I saw a Lexus on the road last week, which I took for a 2021 Corolla-SE, since they were too similar looking!!!! Although the Lexus-brand probably cost at least the double of the Corolla!!! FYI:::: In California hydrogen-fuel is free of charge, however, its filling stations are very few!!!!
@@kareemsalessi compared to a loaded AUDI/BENz/BMW in this class....yes its a bargain !
Will this going to be launched in India... If yes, then when will? Any expectations
Sorry Sandeep, we're not privy to other markets.
We learnt about the hydrogen fuel cell system in the 12th class and again in university from the chemistry course of EE.
What if it faces an accident and the tank gets leak? We know what happened to the Hindenburg..
Remember what happened to the rimac ev that Richard Hammond crashed in Switzerland?
I'll take my chances with hydrogen
i'm wonder how is the safety protection to this hydrogen tank, will it explode upon collision?
See the safety facts of the Mirai, here: fal.cn/3cuiz
please elaborate on the safety of those hydrogen tanks.
Hello. The Mirai is as safe as any other Toyota. Its hydrogen fuel tanks are designed to withstand up to 225% of their operating pressure, which is a very high safety margin. They’ve even been shot at with high-velocity weapons. Learn more here: fal.cn/3fvL9 Thanks.
@@toyotauk Thanks for the reply. Just saw the video of the puncture test with the 50cal. Good stuff. Personally I would still be a bit hesitant. It would be interesting to see what it does take to have a catastrophic failure. Seeing that might point out the unlikeliness of any danger from the tanks themselves. Or at least that the tanks are the least of your problems if such forces are involved. As of right now, the placement of the tanks by the back seat would put them right below my kids. Either way, good to see electric cars evolving to address the one major problem with them.
Why does it need a big battery onboard 🤷♂️
Hydrogen power is definitely the future. However it will be interesting to see what excuses they use to raise fuel prices then.
This looks outstanding car 🚙, can I use one for testing, I am doing around 50k miles per year on UK roads with Toyota hybrid. Where can I recharge with hydrogen?
Hello. Thanks for your interest in Mirai. More details on the second-generation model can be found here: fal.cn/3c0pz Here's an overview of the hydrogen refuelling stations currently available across the UK: fal.cn/3c0pB
the only thing this car pollutes is water which is great! congratulations toyota.
So the fuel cell is basically the reverse process of electrolysis...
Very beautiful!!
Nice design!!
Love that car 💯
The infrastructure needed for everyone to charge a car at home long term would be huge. Not to mention wires on pavements etc. Plus as no electric is created on the move a very heavy battery is needed on the vehicle to get good range.
This solution only need the petrol pumps to instead be hydrogen pump, a much smaller battery can be on the car this overall weight should be down, even with the fuel cell to create electric I assume?
So quick fill ups rather than long charges. Less weight overall for the vehicle and longer range. logical to keep investing and researching it, will it be the future? I don’t know 🤷♂️ but well done Toyota. FYI any chance of moving the hydrogen cells lower and making an estate version .
Holistic look to it seems much greener than electric cars. 5 minute fueling is tolerable. However...this is hydrogen we are talking about. Need robust safety systems in place at the fuel station, transport of hydrogen fuel, and in cars in case of leaks and accidents
If something goes wrong , hydrogen is 3 times more combustible then petrol and lithium gets fire 🔥 once exposed to air, In case of high speed collision this car is not less than a powerful bomb
this is actually very interesting, i never really cared about hydrogen fuel cell because of tesla mostly but must say this good tech, how ever.. maintenance on this cars will be very expensive ?
Hi. It may be one of the most technically advanced cars on the planet, but Mirai’s servicing needs are comparatively straightforward. A service can be accomplished by one person within a one-hour time slot. You can see how it is done here: fal.cn/3cF8Z
In terms of pricing, servicing for the outgoing Mirai is currently included in the £750 monthly fee, along with hydrogen, so we don't really have a price. It would cost around the same as a regular vehicle though!
Once the new Mirai is on sale, we have more information about offers. Thanks.
What a beautiful car
But i'm a chr fan in sri lanka
this video needs audio added.
electric motor ??? how does it works ?
Hi, thanks for your interest in the Mirai. This is a FCEV, powered by Hydrogen. You fill up with hydrogen fuel, in the same way as you buy gasoline or diesel at a filling station. The fuel is contained in high-pressure tanks and fed into a fuel cell stack, where the hydrogen and the oxygen found naturally in the air react with each other and generate electricity. As in a petrol-electric hybrid, the electricity is boosted in voltage to drive the electric motor. Further energy is captured in a battery every time the car brakes or slows down, which contributes to even better fuel economy. Thanks.
When is South Africa going to get Mirai, As an early adopter, I had my FUTURISTIC Prius back in 2010 and would like to be the first person to own a Mirai - Asseblief
We'd recommend contacting Toyota in your country as we're only privy to the UK market, sorry.
In which states can you use a FCEV? Only California? No fueling infrastructure in any other state or Canada either. Where can I buy and operate a Mirai?
Is there a hydrogen network map in the UK to see if this can replace an ICE or BEV in my area?
Hello Noel. Sure, take a look here: www.ukh2mobility.co.uk/stations/ Thanks.
@@toyotauk thank you. Would that be a total of 8 hydrogen stations in England?
It's true, the current refuelling network is limited, and focused around London, but that hasn't stopped the Metropolitan Police from clocking up over 250,000 miles in their fleet. Fuel providers need to see a viable product on the market before the commit to infrastructure, and that's one of the reasons we put the Mirai on sale a few years ago. Thanks.
I wonder how green synthetic hydrocarbons will compare to green hydrogen in the future.
Hello. In October 2015, Toyota launched the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, which aims to reduce the negative impact of vehicles as much as possible and contribute to realising a sustainable society. Toyota aims to reduce global average new-vehicle CO2 emissions by 90% from 2010 levels. Read more about this here: fal.cn/3dUqT Thanks.
Who needs batteries when you have WATER
They do have batteries.
Is the pressure coming from exhaust is high Or low
As the Mirai is a fuel cell electric vehicle, it doesn't have an exhaust. It has a pipe where water vapour can be deposited when necessary. There is no 'pressure' during this process. Thanks.
What is pressure of water vapor in the car
During the outlet

You don't have video of rav 4 plug in but what is your response Toyota for videos show g it fails moose test and behave extremely unsafe? That's a shame....
Hi. Thanks for your comment. On 29th October, Teknikens Värld conducted their “Elk test” on plug-in hybrid SUVs from various manufacturers including the Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid AWD. All of them failed this specific independent test. Saying that, the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid has successfully passed all development testing and fully meets all safety regulations in force in the market on a worldwide basis. Furthermore, it also complies with Toyota internal standards, which surpass the regulatory requirements in a wide array of testing circumstances. It must also be noted that the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid is fully equipped with the most advanced version of the Toyota Safety System including a comprehensive range of the latest safety technology, among them a Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert and Vehicle Stability Control. Following Teknikens Värld’s evaluation, we have replicated their Elk test, which includes an extreme obstacle avoidance manoeuvre, and have produced similar results. As a countermeasure, we will now take steps to ensure that RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid can pass Teknikens Värld’s Elk test. In the meantime, we would like to reassure our customers that the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid remains safe to drive. However, in the spirit of continuous improvement, we will make this upgrade available to all customers who would like it within January 2021, and we will introduce the upgrade into mass production shortly afterwards. Cars for UK customers will go into production in February and we expect them to be fitted with this software update from factory. Thanks.
A two wheel drive, right?
Hi Muriel, that is correct. You can find more details on our Mirai here: fal.cn/3eKQV. Thanks.
Is the exhaust is in liquid Or gas
