Generation history
Toyota Mirai generations and next redesign.
The Toyota Mirai has been through 2 generations, starting in 2014 and 2020. The gaps were 6 years, an average of 6.0. Redesigns come quickly on this model. The current generation began in 2020. On that cadence the next full redesign points to 2025 through 2027, centered on 2026. This is a projection. It comes from the model's own past redesign years, not from the manufacturer. A mid-cycle refresh usually lands in between. Public records describe the current generation this way: The second-generation Mirai was unveiled in October 2019 and went on sale in December 2020. Specifications, trims and the NHTSA safety record are on the Toyota Mirai model page.

In more detail
What each Toyota Mirai generation changed.
First generation, 2014 to 2020
The Mirai uses the Toyota Fuel Cell System (TFCS), which features both fuel cell technology and hybrid technology, and includes proprietary Toyota-developed components including the fuel cell (FC) stack, FC boost converter, and high-pressure hydrogen tanks. The TFCS is more energy-efficient than internal combustion engines and emits no CO2 at the point of operation or substances of concern (SOCs) when driven. The system accelerates Mirai from 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in 9.0 seconds and delivers a passing time of 3 seconds from 40 to 64 km/h (25 to 40 mph).
Second generation, 2020 to today
The second-generation Mirai was unveiled in October 2019 and went on sale in December 2020. It has a target of 30 percent increase in driving range with increased hydrogen capacity. In April 2021, Toyota announced that it would offer its "Teammate" level 2 driver assistance system on Mirai. The system offers two modes, Advanced Drive and Advanced Park.
