“I need a vehicle I can depend on. The Mirai has been a failed experiment due to the lack of dependable fueling stations and stations in general within California. I cannot go to Fresno or other places even within California. It is not yet ready to be rolled out until the stations catch up to it. I also was unimpressed with the lack of spare tire and the seats that do not fold down in the back for storage.”
2020 Toyota Mirai: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2020 Toyota Mirai has no major changes from 2019. Its main significance is that it is the final year of the first-generation Mirai before the fully redesigned 2021 model arrived.
About the 2020 Toyota Mirai
1st generation (2016-2020), final year before the all-new 2021 redesign.
Toyota positioned the Mirai as a real-world zero-emission sedan for drivers who wanted electric driving without plugging in. Its core appeal was simple: hydrogen power, about 300 miles of driving range, and refueling that took about five minutes, all wrapped in a midsize four-door sedan with a generous amount of standard technology and comfort equipment. Compared with battery EVs of its time, the Mirai’s biggest differentiator was quick refueling and long range, assuming access to hydrogen stations.
Toyota sold the 2020 Mirai in one well-equipped trim, positioning it as a future-focused commuter sedan with quick hydrogen refueling and no plug required. It has a 151-hp fuel-cell powertrain, front-wheel drive, about 312 miles of EPA range, a four-seat cabin, heated seats, built-in navigation, JBL audio, and a broad standard safety suite.
