“Great perks with the vehicle, probably one of the best deals right now. Be aware that fueling can be problematic, but if you are able to work around peak times, it won't be an issue.”
2019 Toyota Mirai: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Toyota Mirai is a light-update year rather than a redesign. Its main change is standard Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, which replaces the previous safety suite and expands its driver-assistance features.
About the 2019 Toyota Mirai
1st generation (2016-2020), fourth model year, one year before the all-new 2021 redesign.
Toyota positions the Mirai as a real-world zero-emission sedan rather than a science project. The brand’s messaging centers on hydrogen power, fast refueling, and the idea that the car can fit daily driving more easily than many early battery EVs. In practice, the Mirai’s identity is a quiet, well-equipped midsize sedan that stands out by making its own electricity from hydrogen, emitting only water vapor, and refueling in minutes instead of waiting on a plug.
The 2019 Mirai is a single-trim, front-wheel-drive hydrogen sedan positioned as an everyday car rather than a stripped-down experiment. Its 151-horsepower electric motor, EPA-rated 312-mile range and roughly five-minute hydrogen refueling are joined by heated front and rear seats, an 11-speaker JBL audio system and a wireless phone-charging pad.
