The Mirai impresses with style and range but feels trapped by its infrastructure.
Sleek futuristic design · Engaging handling dynamics
Confined to West Coast · Sleepy acceleration
The 2026 Toyota Mirai stands out with its sleek, futuristic design and promises of zero-emission driving, making it a head-turner in any eco-conscious community. On winding canyon roads, its lively handling surprised us, proving that a hydrogen-powered car can offer engaging driving dynamics. However, the Mirai's Achilles' heel is its limited refueling infrastructure, which confines its practicality largely to the hydrogen-friendly zones of the West Coast. If you're an early adopter living near hydrogen stations and value style and sustainability, the Mirai is an intriguing option. Otherwise, the refueling challenges might outweigh its benefits.
Our pick: Limited ($66,000)
vs. Hyundai Nexo: The Mirai trumps the Nexo in style and driving dynamics, but Hyundai's broader refueling network gives it a practical edge.
