The Toyota Mirai, Toyota's car of the future

 

  At first glance, the Toyota Mirai has an aggressive stance that may come across as intimidating to some.  As you circle the hydrogen fuel-cell car, the lines and styling soften to reveal a tail end that would blend in among a sea of cars caught in traffic.


  The driving experience is just as confusing as the exterior. It feels like an oxymoron. One one hand, you're driving a production version of a hydrogen car. On the other hand, it feels more like a Camry, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Not every car that moves away from tradition is going to be a Model S and not every driver needs Ludicrous mode. What most of us want is a vehicle that will get us to work every day, comfortably. In that respect, the Mirai is mostly there. 


  The interior of the Mirai is comfortable with tech and styling cues taken from Toyota's Lexus luxury line. It's a commuter that feels smarter and a more solid frame construction that a grocery getter. All in all, the Toyota Mirai sits between the Honda Accords, Toyota Camrys and Chevy Malibus of the world. But thanks to the fuel cell technology under the hood, the price tag has a heavy number...$57,700.  Thankfully though, like the hybrid and electric vehicles, it is eligible for federal tax credits.
