Toyota has revealed pricing for the second-generation Mirai, which is bigger, more powerful and able to travel further than its predecessor.
It now costs from £49,995, a 24% reduction over the outgoing model.
The car can be specified in Design, Design Plus Pack and Design Premium Pack trims. All are equipped, as standard, with the latest generation Toyota Safety Sense.
Based on an all-new platform, the Mirai is fitted now with three hydrogen tanks giving a range of around 400 miles – a 30% increase over the previous car.
The car is longer and wider than before, while the powertrain layout has been reconfigured to give it a 50:50 weight distribution.
Power output has increased to 182PS, while changes to the suspension promise a more engaging driving experience.
One of the principal aims for the new Mirai has been to give the car a stronger emotional appeal, making it a car that people will be attracted to by its looks and the way it drives, as well its eco-performance.
The styling is now more aligned to the executive segment, while the new interior delivers a more premium look and feel.
The entry-level Design trim includes heated front seats, a reversing camera and a JBL sound system.
The Design Plus costs £53,995 and adds synthetic leather upholstery, blind spot monitor and front parking sensors.
Range-topping Design Premium is £64,995 and features leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats and a head up display.
