    The 2nd gen Mirai was first introduced at the 2019 Toyota Motor Show. Unlike the previous-gen model, this one says goodbye to the clumsy styling. The new version features - a sleek & slender fastback, advanced customer-ready hydrogen FCEV tech, a new longer silhouette, and a rear-wheel drive drivetrain.

    The car also features a large fuel cell which leads to a 35% hike in the FCEV’s driving range.
