For the second model year for the Mirai in the United States of America, Toyota hasn’t changed the recipe too much. Not only does the pricing remains unchanged from 2016, but the hydrogen fuel cell-powered mid-size sedan is available in a new color.
Up to this point, the Mirai could be had in one of four colors: Nautical Blue Metallic (pictured), Crystal White, Elemental Silver, and Celestial Black. The new model year brings Atmospheric Blue, a color the manufacturer has “forgot” to detail in official images. Still, at least the price remains put.
At $57,500 plus $865 in destination and delivery, the Mirai is an expensive car for its size. But then again, don’t forget that it’s powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, the type of eco-friendly technology that costs a lot of money to research, develop, and produce. On the upside, buying the Mirai has its perks.
Not only do customers enjoy a federal tax credit of up to $8,000, but Californian customers are also offered a $5,000 rebate. As if that wasn’t enough to soften the blow of the Mirai’s price tag, the high-tech model is granted access to the HOV carpool lane. And that, as I’m sure you know, is a valuable asset in the heavily congested state of California.
Other than the car itself, that apparently enormous bundle of green dollar bills grants the owner three years’ worth of complimentary fuel or $15,000 maximum, whichever comes first, three years of 24/7 customer call support, a complimentary rental experience for seven days per year for three years, no cost service plan and roadside assistance, as well as 8 years or 100,000 miles of warranty on key components, including the hydrogen tank and battery.
If you’re not sure about the 2017 Toyota Mirai, then you’d better wait for the model year 2018. That's when the South Korean juggernaut Hyundai will debut all-new fuel cell vehicle, set to replace the ix35 FCV.
