In 2010, the Toyota Prius achieved the "Top Three in the World" standing for both World Green Car and the World Car of the Year categories. In 2013, the Toyota GT86 was the finalist for the "Top Three in the World" in the World Car of the Year category. Other contenders included the Toyota iQ in 2009 and the Toyota Harrier Hybrid in 2006.

Mirai Performance

Just what makes the Toyota Mirai so efficient? It utilizes the power of with hydrogen as a fueling source, rather than traditional gasoline. The fuel cell stack is enriched with air that rushes through the front intake grille, which combines with the stored hydrogen from the carbon fiber tank. Together, they create a powerful reaction that results in instantaneous electricity to power the Mirai. The car zooms forth on the roads, leaving nothing behind but pure water and zero emissions.

The Mirai is not just good for the environment, but also convenient to drive. It refuels in less than five minutes, which won't delay your busy schedule. The Mirai is also powerful with 151 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. It has an EPA-estimated 312 mile range, which will take you everywhere you want to go!
