Talking about its technical specifications, the Mirai can accelerate 0 to 97 km/h in 9.0 seconds. It can run with a top speed of 178 km/h, with a full tank, the Miral can give a range of 500 km. The new Toyota fuel cell vehicle stack can achieve a maximum output power of 114kW with world-leading power output density of 3.1 kW/L.

The Mirai can accommodate up to four people. It has two hydrogen tanks with a three-layer structure made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic. The tanks store hydrogen at a rate of (10,000 psi).  The 2021 Mirai refers can offer extra 30% range due to increased hydrogen storage capacity.  The Mirai has a (1.6 kWh) sealed nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) traction rechargeable battery pack. 

Now let us look at its some amazing features such as Eight SRS Airbags, Advanced safety system, Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and much more. 

Interiors of the car include Dual-zone automatic climate control, TFT multi-information display, telescopic steering wheel, TFT display with speedometer, odometer, two trip meters, current trip information, outside temp, fuel level
indicator, etc. 

The Toyota Mirai has a fuel cell, a battery pack, a fuel cell stack, boost converter and an electric motor and power control unit. The oxygen and hydrogen fuel reacts at the fuel cell and produces electricity and water. The electricity is sent to the electric motor and the car starts working and the water sends out of the pipe. 

In low load driving the power is taken from the battery pack Whereas during high load driving the electricity is directly generated from the hydrogen full cell. For every 4 km of travel, the Mirai will exhaust 240 ml of water. Using the H2O button the remaining water from the vehicle is pumped through the pipes out of the car.

If the hydrogen tank is empty, the car can be refiled in the nearest hydrogen fuel station which takes only three minutes.
