Toyota Mirai

The Toyota Mirai stands out from the great majority of electric vehicles on the market due to its unique fuel-cell electric engine. Unlike most electric vehicles, the Mirai doesn’t rely on batteries or charging stations. Instead, it generates electricity from hydrogen gas using an onboard fuel cell. The end product is an electric vehicle that runs on hydrogen from a filling station rather than electrons from the national power grid. This makes refueling quick and easy, which is a key selling feature for hydrogen-powered EVs like the Toyota Mirai.

The electricity generated by the hydrogen is transferred to a 182-horsepower electric engine, which feels energized while driving around town. Following its 2021 generational overhaul, the Mirai's electric powertrain was shifted from the front to the rear of the vehicle, resulting in rear-wheel drive. The updated chassis offers a surprising level of agility while maintaining a refined and balanced ride. The Toyota Mirai can go 402 miles on a single tank of hydrogen. This places it at the forefront of the field among electric vehicles.

The Toyota Mirai's well-appointed and stylish interior is one of its most distinguishing features. Someone might confuse the Toyota Mirai’s lavish interior with that of a more expensive luxury sedan. A digital gauge cluster and infotainment screen combine to create a swoopy dash design with copper accents. Despite having two enormous gas tanks beneath the cabin floor (and a third in the trunk), the back seat is relatively big.

Toyota bZ4X

The Toyota bZ4X comes standard with front-wheel drive and a single electric motor that produces 201 horsepower. All-wheel-drive models have two electric motors and a minor increase to 214 horsepower. Both systems provide this SUV with quick acceleration, with instant electric torque that comes on strong and smoothly.

The Toyota bZ4X features light and accurate steering that inspires confidence. The ride quality is good on most smooth to slightly rough roads.

Both rows of the Toyota bZ4X offer adequate space and comfort, even accommodating somewhat taller individuals in the back seat. There are unique elements, such as fabric covering areas of the dashboard.

Behind the rear seats of the Toyota bZ4X, users can store up to 27.7 cubic feet of cargo. They can be folded down to provide significantly additional space, up to 56.9 cubes. A power liftgate is standard, and hands-free liftgate entry is available as an option.
