Toyota has shown more photos of the production 2021 Mirai, a hydrogen-powered sedan.
It will come in XLE and Limited trim levels and a choice of four exterior colors.
The Mirai will arrive in the U.S. in late December, Toyota says.
The second generation of Toyota’s hydrogen-powered car, the Mirai, is remarkably different than its predecessor, adopting a new rear-wheel drive layout and a much more luxurious interior than before. Toyota has now shown more photos of the production version of the 2021 Mirai after first previewing the new model with a thinly veiled concept last year.
Toyota also now says that the Mirai will be offered in two trim levels: XLE and Limited. The XLE is pictured here in Supersonic Red and the Limited in Hydro Blue. Oxygen White and Heavy Metal (which we assume is grey) will round out the exterior color options.

We already knew that the new Mirai is significantly larger than the old one, and that it will offer new features such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, heated and cooled seats front and rear. Its larger hydrogen fuel cell promises around 30 percent more range, meaning it should go around 400 miles on a tank, and its electric motor now powers the rear wheels rather than the fronts.

We don’t know about pricing for the new Mirai yet, but we assume it will be more expensive than the current car, which starts at $59,545. Most customers will likely lease the Mirai rather than purchasing it outright, and it’s likely to be offered only on the West coast in areas where hydrogen fueling stations exist. Toyota offers $15,000 or 3 years of free hydrogen with the current car, and we’d expect a program like this to continue for the new Mirai.
Further details should be available soon, as the Mirai is scheduled to go on sale in December.

If you’re a motorcyclist, your bike is probably one of your most prized possessions. But it’s well known that motorcycles are prime targets for opportunistic thieves due to their relatively small size and high value. So it’s worth the money to protect your hobby and investment from anyone interested in taking it from you. The […] More

Jeep’s 2020 Gladiator doesn’t look like anything else, so it’s logical that a Super Bowl commercial would have the theme, “No day is the same in a Jeep Gladiator.” Instead of pitching it to a hip millennial crowd, Jeep bravely went for an older demographic here—people who remember the movie Groundhog Day from way back […] More

In every episode of Window Shop, the C/D crew seems to unearth some new controversy. This week, the explosive issue at hand is what exactly constitutes an automotive guilty pleasure.
Host Tony Quiroga asserts it’s a vehicle that embodies all the attributes one usually eschews in a vehicle but somehow still inspires affection—and then embarrassment. He is wrong, probably.
John Pearley Huffman, a C/D contributor and the creator of this half-baked challenge, proposes that a guilty pleasure is any car, truck, van, paraglider, or sleigh that when shown to others, inspires reactions along the lines of “What the hell are you smoking?” Think socially unacceptable machines that one loves, often just for the sheer joy of knowing no one else does. He may be on to something.
This week’s crew also includes ace contributor Jonathon Ramsey, who chooses something Italian that definitely fits Pearley’s definition of WTF-ness. He is therefore mercilessly pilloried but withstands the abuse with dignity.
Youthful but really kind of getting old, senior news editor Joey Capparella goes against his personal brand by advocating for something huge, thirsty, and American. Bless his soul, as this indicates his inevitable progression into middle age.
Deputy testing director K.C. Colwell brings his sense of law and order and justice to the question. His choice? The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, a rugged steed of intimidation with 420 horsepower. Of course, owning one would mean devoting his children’s college fund to satiating its thirst.
Pearley selects a fine piece of German engineering cruelly overlooked and scorned by the public. It’s a perfect choice, and every viewer will dive into its deep pool of awesomeness.
Quiroga adds something, too. We talk through our picks. Someone wins—or “wins.” Whatever.
So, tune in, subscribe, like us, and generously contribute your comments. It’s Window Shop with Car and Driver, the very heart of the soulless internet.

Car rental giant Hertz has filed for Chapter 11 reorganization. The second largest car-rental firm in the U.S. had been expected to make the filing official after weeks of speculation by analysts, including those from our colleagues at Autoweek, about the loss of business due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 102-year old company runs several […] More
