Toyota Mirai Showroom in Downtown Tokyo Offers a Glimpse of the Future

On Friday, Toyota will open a showroom to highlight the Mirai fuel cell vehicle, which went on sale last December.

Located within a hydrogen station operated by Iwatani Corporation in Tokyo’s Minato Ward, the space will serve as a hub for sharing information on fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen, with the aim of promoting a hydrogen-based society.

In addition to having one Mirai on display and another for test drives, the showroom will use videos and other media to raise awareness about the features of the vehicle, the benefits of hydrogen and more.

The 2016 Toyota Mirai is a four-door, mid-size sedan with performance that fully competes with traditional internal combustion engines – but it uses no gasoline and emits nothing but water vapor. The groundbreaking fuel cell electric vehicle is powered by hydrogen, re-fuels in about five minutes, and travels up to 300 miles on a full tank.

The Toyota Mirai will be matched by a comprehensive, 360-degree Ownership Experience offering a range of services, including:

– 24/7 concierge service, with calls answered by a dedicated fuel cell representative;

– 24/7 enhanced roadside assistance, including towing, battery, flat tire assistance, trip interruption reimbursement, and loaner vehicle;

– Three years of Toyota Care maintenance, which covers all recommended factory maintenance, up to 12,000 miles annually;

– Eight-year/100,000-mile warranty on fuel cell components;

– Entune and three years of complimentary Safety Connect, including hydrogen station map app; and,

– Complimentary hydrogen fuel for up to three years.

In its basic operation, a fuel cell vehicle works much like a battery electric vehicle. But instead of the large drive battery, Mirai’s fuel cell stack combines hydrogen gas from tanks with oxygen to produce electricity that powers the electric motor.

Toyota’s proprietary fuel cell stack represents a major leap forward in performance, delivering one of the world’s best power outputs of 3.1 kW/L at a dramatically reduced size that fits under the front driver and passenger seats. The system provides Mirai with a maximum output of 153hp, accelerating from 0-60 in 9.0 seconds and delivering a passing time of 3 seconds from 25-40 mph.

What’s more, thanks to fuel cell technology’s versatility and adaptability, the Mirai offers performance options that go well beyond a traditional automobile. In fact, the vehicle will be offered with an optional power take off (PTO) device that enables Mirai to serve as a mobile generator in case of emergency. With the PTO accessory, Mirai is capable of powering home essentials in an average house for up to a week in an emergency – while emitting only water in the process.

Mirai will also feature a broad range of standard onboard safety technologies, including vehicle pre-collision, blind spot monitor, lane departure alert, drive start control and automatic high beams.[wzslider height=”400″ lightbox=”true”]
