Refresher for special Toyota
Perhaps the most special Toyota of the moment has been renewed. The Toyota Mirai benefits from new safety systems and improved infotainment.
The Toyota gets a subtle refresher that you won’t immediately notice from the outside. After all, it is mainly about technological upgrades. For example, the package of ADAS systems has been further expanded. The Mirai can now assist its driver more at low speeds, for example by braking if you get too close to parked objects. It also brakes ‘smoother’ when the throttle is released and, according to Toyota, the steering adjustment is optimized for each bend. In addition, the cameras and sensors have been updated, so that, according to Toyota, existing assistance systems work more accurately and Blind Spot Monitor and Panoramic View Monitor are now standard.
Toyota Mirai
More news for the hydrogen car? Of course. The Toyota Mirai gets an updated Smart Connect+ infotainment system on a 12.3-inch screen. If you don’t feel like operating things with your hands, you can also use “Hey Toyota” to activate a voice assistant, which, according to Toyota, should be able to understand you perfectly when you have your music on. Speaking of that music, it comes to you from a JBL sound system with fourteen speakers. You can also connect your phone to the Mirai with one of the five now standard USB-C connections. Android Auto and Apple Carplay can also be called up on the infotainment screen. Finally, a nice function has been added if you don’t feel like parking your Mirai yourself. You can have the Mirai park itself via an app on your phone (even if you are not in the car).
It is not yet known what the innovations will do to the price of the Toyota Mirai. In the Netherlands, a starting price of €70,195 has so far applied for the Mirai, but this may still change. Last year, 40 Mirai’s were sold in our country, this year the counter is still at 0 as far as we know.
