Toyota's hydrogen-powered executive sedan has received a few upgrades for 2024, with the Mirai benefiting from subtle specification changes, a new exterior color, and other minor revisions.

The biggest news is the addition of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. This suite of driver assistance systems includes dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure warning, a pre-collision system, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beams, and more. These assistance systems complement a range of safety features including eight airbags, a blind spot monitor and a rearview camera.

A new exterior paint color has also been added, with Elemental Silver now available on all trim levels. The 2024 Mirai will also bear the "Beyond Zero" badge, signifying Toyota's commitment to reducing carbon emissions. Mirai Limited derivatives also receive Digital Smartphone Key capability, allowing owners to unlock their vehicles from their mobile devices. This is available on the XLE as part of the Advanced Technology Package.

Both models are well equipped. The Mirai XLE has a SoftTex trimmed interior with heated and power front seats. Dual-zone climate control, LED headlights, a 14-speaker JBL sound system and a wireless device charger are standard. The Advanced Technology Package adds front and rear parking assist and a panoramic view monitor.

Stepping up to the Limited trim level adds three-zone climate control, a panoramic glass sunroof, and ambient interior lighting. 20-inch wheels are also available. Pricing for the Mirai XLE starts at $50,190 ($49,500 last year), while the Limited trim costs $67,155 ($66,000 last year). Some may think that's a lot of money to spend on a Toyota, but there are several benefits to owning a Mirai.

A three-year/35,000-mile ToyotaCar maintenance plan and an eight-year/100,000-mile FCEV warranty on certain fuel cell components are included in the package. A three-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance package is also included.

If you lease a 2023 Mirai by March 31, 2024, Toyota will give you free fuel for three years or up to $15,000 worth of fuel, whichever comes first. If you purchase a Mirai before March 31, this is extended to six years. It's worth noting that the Mirai is only available in California due to a lack of a nationwide hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
