2016 Toyota Mirai

[Ichibawa]

Looks like someone driven a corolla into a box and got stuck with it. I don't like the interior and exterior. Macam the designer suddenly remember he needs to submit the design the next day and did a half past six job.

To give some insight into the Mirai design, what I recall from an article I read some months ago:

 

The front end has such huge gaping maws because the hydrogen system requires extensive air-intakes - it requires oxygen for the process.

 

The side character lines are intended to evoke thoughts of flowing water from front to back, as the Mirai characteristically produces merely water (no carbon emissions) as a result of its hydrogen fuel cell.

 

It is also shaped to provide advanced aerodynamics.

 

 

Besides those aspects, well, I don't really know what else Toyota's designers were after

save the environment - can connect a hose to exos then to water tank placed in boot for emergency / potable usage?

You know what ?  Your idea is almost exactly what Mirai engineers had in mind !

 

Except it is electical.  Aside from its fuelcell powerplant, the system, which comes with a plug outlet in its boot, is technically not unlike a APC supply with DC/AC converter.

 

Toyota claims Mirai fuel storage allows up to 7 days of electrical power supply to average Japanese home of 100V@50/60Hz

Marketing ploy.

At 85mm longer, 70mm wider and 65mm lower, the 2nd generation Mirai look much sleeker and sportier than it predecessor.

And the interior so much more upmarket...

Sadly, the GS is dead, "murdered" by it lower cost FWD sibling (ES) and no thanks to the booming SUV market...
