A solution to the pollution problem and lack of fuel reserves has long been around, and the solution that some believe would help is to focus on electric-powered vehicles.
Through the years, we have seen various electric cars come out, although none have really made headway. Apparently, there are differences and limitations, although some car manufacturers have tried to keep it low.
Toyota may have something new for the car enthusiasts with the Toyota Mirai. Technically, it is an electric-powered car as well, only that it uses a different kind of technology to make it work.
The Mirai combines oxygen with hydrogen stored on the vehicle's pressurized tanks and that eventually turns out into a different kind of electric power.
The process results in 152 worth of horsepower sent to the front wheels of the vehicle. The car is reportedly a lot like another Toyota variant in the Prius, only that the Mirai is a whole lot bigger and more lush.
A battery is located by the rear seats, something that racks up energy lost from braking.
This technology is somehow similar to the regenerative braking technology in BMWs and Teslas, although the one found in the Mirai is something that can be hardly felt. The reason for that is Toyota wants automotive enthusiasts to get a natural feel as much as possible.
Aside from that, the Toyota Mirai functions and feels a whole lot like other electric cars in the market. It comes with one forward gear and easy steering; it is also deafeningly quiet.
The Toyota Mirai weighs about 1,850 kilograms, meaning it isn't built for fast travels. Overall, this is one heck of an electric car to have — lush and eco-friendly.
Now, the combination of advanced technology with lavish features will come with a stiff price which could hinder it from being seen out in the open. An outright purchase costs around £66,000 for the midsize hybrid which may be a bit steep compared to other midsize vehicles along the same niche.
It does cost a lot, although getting one on lease could be an alternative for customers set on getting a unit of their own. Check out the video below.
