2017 Toyota Mirai Fuel-Cell
While the Mirai isn't getting any pricier in 2017,
fans of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles walking into a Toyota dealership can also
qualify for an US$ 8,000 federal tax credit and a US$ 5,000 potential California
rebate to go with the access they'll have to the state's HOV carpool lane.
The qualified customers will be eligible
for the Mirai trailblazer program which offers purchase and ownership
experience support, such as the 0% APR support for 60 months or 1.9% for 72
months.
For 2017MY, the Mirai also comes with a new color
option called Atmospheric Blue, complementing the existing Celestial Black,
Elemental Silver and Nautical Blue colorways.
The customers will be looking at the
same comprehensive ownership experience as before, with services such as three
years' worth of complimentary fuel (or US$ 15,000 max), three years complimentary
Safety Connect and Entune + hydrogen station finder app, three years 24/7
customer call support, ToyotaCare, an 8-year/100,000 mile warranty on key fuel
cell vehicle components and a complimentary Rental Experience for seven days
per year for three years.
In 2017, Mirai owners will have even more hydrogen
stations at their disposal throughout California, which in turn should make them
feel more at ease about driving a hydrogen-powered car. Speaking of power, the
Mirai uses a fuel cell stack to generate electricity from a chemical reaction
between hydrogen and oxygen, providing the driver with instant maximum torque
upon acceleration.
If you're curious what that means for this type
of car, then know that the Mirai can hit 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds, and
has a maximum speed of 178 km/h.
