The 2023 Toyota Mirai shows promise but is ahead of its time
Over the last two decades, hydrogen enjoyed a brief time in the spotlight as a possible alternative fuel. Unfortunately, the lack of infrastructure has hampered adoption and the concept has largely been abandoned except for a few holdouts. The 2023 Toyota Mirai is one of the few hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and it shows a lot of potential, but there are also some drawbacks to consider.
Sales were limited to California and Hawaii, and even in those states, hydrogen fueling stations can be scarce and unreliable. That limits the potential of taking your Mirai on a long road trip. Refueling, while faster than charging, requires a bit of a learning curve compared to filling up with gas or even recharging an electric vehicle. On top of that, the large hydrogen tank eats up a lot of trunk space. At least for now, it’s best to think of the Mirai as an EV alternative for those who cannot charge at home and have nearby access to hydrogen fueling stations.

5 reasons to buy the 2023 Toyota Mirai
What We Like
Long range: The Mirai has an EPA-estimated 357 miles of range in the Limited trim and 402 miles for the XLE.
Plentiful driver-assist features: Every Mirai comes standard with Toyota's suite of driver assists. These include a frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, a blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. Parking proximity sensors and a surround-view camera system are available, along with an automated parking system.
Luxurious ride quality: The Mirai surprises most passengers with its unusually luxurious and smooth ride quality. That’s due in no small part to the fact that it shares parts with the upmarket Lexus LS sedan. It virtually glides down the road, erasing smaller ruts and bumps and smoothing over undulations with ease.
What Needs Improvement
Limited hydrogen refueling stations: Hydrogen has a lot of potential as a vehicle fuel source, but we’re a very long way off from making it viable. The infrastructure simply isn’t there and building it out will take decades. Even in green-leaning Los Angeles, hydrogen pumps are a rarity, and if you find one, there’s a chance it may be out of fuel or not working. Refueling, while faster than charging, can be also more complicated, and the nozzle gets freezing cold.
